How is she doing the same thing over and over again?

You're looking at a single exercise in the whole list. Every other PB has been completed in the last 2-3 weeks. No, there are gains there because of you. I'm not lifting the weights, only guiding you in the limited capacity that I can. But your lack of confidence in yourself and inability to acknowledge such progress will have you on a fast downward slope in times like this where you need them most to pull you out of negativity.

They are all copied and pasted from your build thread. And it's simply a date range logging your best lifts over 2.5 months versus what you started with - nowhere does it state you are doing the lifts on the same day.

Xbox One, PlayStation 4...am I doin it right?

You've chosen a date where you are encumbered with injuries - this does not mean you have instantly lost muscular strength or progress, or that you have accomplished nothing in the way of your goals. Progress isn't always a step forward. Sometimes it is rest and recovery in order to tackle the weights again safely. You are your own harshest critic in this and that is a big speed bump in terms of attitude towards achieving said goals.

Just to get us on track again, here's a comparison of the weights Leesh started with at the beginning of this build thread (~3 months ago) versus some of her best weights in recent weeks. Despite injuries and setbacks (like not being able to perform deadlifts for 2 of those months), I think she has done fairly well for herself. 12/07/13 (59kg bw) vs 30/10/13 (57kg bw) Deadlifts 40kg x 10 50kg x 10 50kg x 10 60kg x 10 60kg x 3 60kg x 10 70kg x 10 80kg x 10 90kg x 3 100kg x 1 Squats 20kg x 10 30kg x 10 30kg x 10 35kg x 10 40kg x 10 42.5kg x 10 45kg x 3 (failed on 4th) 35kg x 10 40kg x 10 45kg x 10 50kg x 5 50kg x 5 55kg x 5 60kg x 2 Flat Bench 25kg x10 30kg x10 30kg x10 35kg x 10 40kg x 1 25kg x 10 30kg x 10 35kg x 8 40kg x 4 45kg x 2 47.5kg x 1 Close Grip Lat Pulldown 30kg x 10 30kg x 10 40kg x 10 40kg x 10 50kg x 10 50kg x 10 55kg x 5 30kg x 10 40kg x 10 45kg x 10 50kg x 10 55kg x 10 60kg x 6 65kg x 3 Seated Row 25kg x 10 25kg x 10 30kg x 10 35kg x 10 40kg x 8 40kg x 8 30kg x 10 35kg x 10 40kg x 10 45kg x 10 50kg x 5 55kg x 5 Standing Shoulder Press 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 20kg x 7 20kg x 6 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 20kg x 10 20kg x 8 25kg x 5 Bicep Curls 10kg x 10 10kg x 10 10kg x 10 10kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 20kg x 6 20kg x 5 20kg x 4 20kg x 4 Captains Chair Knee Raises 10 10 10 10 10 30 25 20 20 25

FYI, let's take a look at the last 2.5 months, let alone the last 11 months12/07/13 (59kg bw) to 30/10/13 (57kg bw) Deadlifts 40kg x 10 50kg x 10 50kg x 10 60kg x 10 60kg x 3 60kg x 10 70kg x 10 80kg x 10 90kg x 3 100kg x 1 Squats 20kg x 10 30kg x 10 30kg x 10 35kg x 10 40kg x 10 42.5kg x 10 45kg x 3 (failed on 4th) 35kg x 10 40kg x 10 45kg x 10 50kg x 5 50kg x 5 55kg x 5 60kg x 2 Flat Bench 25kg x10 30kg x10 30kg x10 35kg x 10 40kg x 1 25kg x 10 30kg x 10 35kg x 8 40kg x 4 45kg x 2 47.5kg x 1 Close Grip Lat Pulldown 30kg x 10 30kg x 10 40kg x 10 40kg x 10 50kg x 10 50kg x 10 55kg x 5 30kg x 10 40kg x 10 45kg x 10 50kg x 10 55kg x 10 60kg x 6 65kg x 3 Seated Row 25kg x 10 25kg x 10 30kg x 10 35kg x 10 40kg x 8 40kg x 8 30kg x 10 35kg x 10 40kg x 10 45kg x 10 50kg x 5 55kg x 5 Standing Shoulder Press 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 20kg x 7 20kg x 6 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 20kg x 10 20kg x 8 25kg x 5 Bicep Curls 10kg x 10 10kg x 10 10kg x 10 10kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 15kg x 10 20kg x 6 20kg x 5 20kg x 4 20kg x 4 Captains Chair Knee Raises 10 10 10 10 10 30 25 20 20 25

For someone who doesn't believe in e-training, you're doing an awful lot of e-diagnosis? Are you a chiropractor or have you treated Leesh as an irl patient before? Or is your diagnosis as "guesswork" as my training? You say that you would never call yourself a trainer, yet you have consistently given her suggestions on form in the past (which haven't fixed anything btw)? If that isn't e-training then I don't know what is.And lol, it's not about who can post the heaviest lifting video...video was simply to prove my point that you can lift safely and heavily with the movement. And you can. So I do the movement, no issues.

If it's good enough for this lad to do 125kg overhead, then it's good enough for me. But you try telling him he should be doing it in front. I have tried both in front and behind the neck; I find the latter offers better isolation of the delts, taking the chest and (some) of the tris out of the equation. This exercise helped me a great deal with other shoulder heavy exercises and hypertrophy of the shoulders in general. I teach people to do the movement with little more than a broomstick for a starting weight. Once they have the flexibility and we have determined they can perform the movement correctly and without pain, like any other movement I teach, then we look at increasing weight. Your issue is that, again, you are basing assumptions of my teachings on one person who may or may not have predispositions to injuries whereby no matter how a press is taught they may succumb to them. As for training, I don't care if I'm not a trainer in your definition. Those who seek help from me get it and they can call me a trainer if that's what they want to do. They know the merits and limitations of the advice that I give them - the thing is that people come to me because they see I've been successful in one way or another that appeals to them and they want to replicate what I have done. So I help them, and have done so successfully in my eyes. Like I said, I'm not there to train Leesh fulltime. This makes coaching hard, but if Leesh is willing to make do with what we have then I am happy to help. Most here would agree that she has made some good progress, and not to take anything away from Leesh's efforts, she would not have obtained these were it not for me teaching them to her in the first place - au contraire, she would still be wasting time on a treadmill.

Give it a shot and see if you like. Good for those who like a mental slog.

I taught Leesh the movements and I think you're in danger of assuming that once taught, a technique will not lose form over time or fall into bad habits as per a trainer's inability to consistently coach someone. It may be a different case if the trainer is present every gym session, but when your trainer sees your movements once every 4 months, it is an unfair assumption to make that a technique has been taught incorrectly. Which leaves us only with shoulder press, which I strongly disagree about being bad to do behind neck. Have been doing the movement for years and I have never had an injury as a direct result of it, nor anyone I know who performs the same exercise. I have also taught it to many and Leesh is the only one with these issues. I have also witnessed her performing the movement without fault or any pain following it.

lol Dan, sleeping dragons...

With volume training, as you're not always lifting extremely heavy weights / at your max, you can usually shorten your breaks and pump out lots of reps. It does tax the heart and lungs if you're not used to it, though; your head will certainly spin! My diet isn't fantastic; the volume training burns through calories and keeps me trim.Also, Leesh, when I do 2-3 exercises it only takes me 45 minutes. If I was doing your workout I would be done in an hour or just over.

Quoted for Aaron, but also for the spider's determination. It's quite inspiring that he's still hanging on by one leg.

An hour, 4 times a week...volume similar to Leesh.

Huntsmans are drawn to heat, so in most cases it's likely the warmth of the impression you leave on a car seat that attracts them to the interior. Pretty common to find them under the seat if at all.

When I get bored of GTA5, don't need another distraction just yet!

You make this sound like a bad thing Actually it's a two step process. First they'll move her up to waitress with skimpy ass revealing outfit, which is dipping your feet in the waters of stripperdom. Not that I have any idea about the workings of the establishment that is the men's galleria.

Sif do that when Xbox1 is a week out!

Haven't heard a good review yet from anyone I know. It was supposed to be the game that motivated me to buy an Xbox One. Motivation all time low! Sticking to Blops 2 until they patch the shit out of Ghosts.

No...no...you don't.

Don't talk to him about bf4

4th in the crew come at me Just realised last night that you can level up about 20 times quicker doing missions than you can killing randoms and escaping cops in freemode. Might do more of those!
