Done sensibly with changes that can be maintained. This is exactly what larger people need to do, make lifestyle changes they can stick too. Still ate your pizza, still had some coke etc. Awesome results mate. Always good to see someone succeed using the basics where so many others fail.

bozodos Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 managed to give myself an insane headache yesterday from doing my squats - the symptoms appear to be that of an exertion headache, I guess I didn't realise just how much hotter it was in the gym. Had to cut my routine short, so hopefully no dramas with SLDL and bench today!

Birds Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 117.5kg single for an equal personal best, after 6 reps of 100kg on the previous set. Was a much easier feeling lift than I used to do it, too. 120 next session. Waiting for the bench plateau monster to kick in! Might need to start a bench progress thread ala the deadlift/squat/pull-up threads. 120kg bench! New pb! 1.5x body weight! Hooray! Huge milestone for me, as I could never get past 117.5kg during my pre-injury days. This was done after 100kg x 7, which is, incidentally, another pb (most reps I've done of 100kg). Now here's the kicker: my last bench session, prior to this, had me benching only 60kg for max reps...just two sets (28, 22 reps). Then I come back tonight and break the 1RM pb. So question is, was the change up in weights/reps responsible for the new pb or was the break/rest from heavy weights beneficial...or both?
