Additional Note I'm no longer going to log warmups, cardio or mobility work but I will always be doing something along those lines at the start of each session. It should reduce the time it takes me to log here, so I'll be more inclined to bother.

Hey Eddie, as the others have said, more info required.

Welcome, Hamish. Be sure to read through the FAQs and, if you have any questions, try a forum search as your question has most probably been answered before. If you don't find what you are looking for, start a new thread in the relevant forum. All the best.

Hey Bulldog, good to hear you're doing ok. I got a Concept 2 rower a few years ago. It's a great bit of kit. It's my preferred form of cardio too, although I find a 2k is far enough for me — hardly a long row. I think I've done a 5k a few times and a 10k once. That was without the Row Pro...

I drop by when I get chance, even if I'm not training enough to make it worth adding anything to my log. It's rather apparent that people aren't chatting about training here like they used to. Plenty of other places to hang out that tick more boxes for them, I guess.

How's tricks? You've been quiet for a while. Injury free?

4/4/16 So, I've had an extended break from working out. I was away for a week at the end of January and then contracted a virus which left me wiped out for a further couple of weeks. Since then I have been distracted away by other things. It's so easy to spoil good habits. The time has come to...

Hey Genghis, at 38 you still are a spring chicken! :) As we get older it gets even more important to regularly work on mobility. Some of your lifting movements will help with that and some will highlight where you have issues. Check out some of Kelly Starett's early mobility WOD videos on...

Some fat gain is inevitable if you are gaining mass. Don't be overly concerned about it. It's not hard to strip off any gained fat once you have added some muscle. If you get too hung up on fat gains you will hold back your progress. Any reason why you are doing rack pulls and not deadlifts? I...

Mick, I always stop by here because it reminds me how well I could be doing if I didn't keep getting distracted. Well done, that man! All the best for your new cycle.

Yeah, I misread what you said. :) All the best for the 200 pull tmrw. If you get it, I'm guessing you are good for a 170 squat. Was the 160 easier than you expected? I find that if I nail my form on a max attempt it makes a big difference. Being off by just a little bit and/or not staying really...

Oh my! So you didn't wait until tomorrow then! :) More congrats. You are inspiring me to get back to lifting some heavier loads again. Thanks, Mick.

I'm a bit late to the party, Mick, but that's a nice 180 triple. Well done. Are you using a hook grip or reverse grip?

Very nice, Mick. Congrats. How did it go up? 200 next week?

I think people moved on in their lives is what happened. There are still a few "old timers" stopping by but the daily muscle talk has all but ceased. And the wind cries Mary...
