For the record, Tom Jones isn't a God to us, what a man does with his livestock is his business, and Welsh cakes are superior to every other type of cake.

Oh, and we talk funny or something. Fucking English.

Sorry the Cricket refrence has made me chip in on this part of the thread!!! Yes we are 1 down in the Ashes, yes we don't know who to select in our team, yes Shane Warne should come out of retirement and finally yes our beloved police force has reaped some small semblence of revenge on the English by booking Kevin Peitersen doing 121km in a 100km zone in Shane Warnes Lamborgini. i think the fine was more than his score in the 1st innings of the 2nd test.

Now I'm off to cry myself to sleep (whilst listening to Michael Bolton).

Haha your very welcome, didnt know about the Peitersen speeding ticket lol, he needs bringing down a peg or two anyway. Now if only we could stuff you at Rugby League like we did in the cricket and Rugby Union this year SO FAR id feel alot more complete lol.

League I doubt it!! Union better than even chance! I reckon Perth is do or die for the Aussies, if theres any pitch where I think we have a decent advantage then Perth is it. Alot of teams aren't used to the bounce and get carried away with the short stuff on it.

Gaz fuckoff this is now a Cricket thread!!! Start a new one you've been hijacked:

Ill take your word for it on perth because i wouldnt know but we have got Tremlett who is 6ft7" or is that the point your making. Anyway that being said if you serve up that Doherty or hauritz your giving us a great chance again.

Gaz you can have your thread back now lol

On the subject of sports, do any of you follow rugby? I'm a huge fan and have been since I lived in Ireland for a few months.

I follow big ones like six nations, tri-nations etc. Can't be arsed to follow the league.

And what the hell happened to my journal!?

CRICKET is what happend. But to stop your manly tears I'm going to give some props.

Not matter what I do I always seem to come back to your Texas Method Program. I've tried doing my own on many occasions and have found that I overtrain and end up with days of DOMS so much so that I miss the next workout.

I've been back doing it now for 6 weeks and don't think I will ever get bored with it. I find it easy to make steady gains pretty much every week. Now how about a handjob?

Now on a serious note I know your Welsh but what about those POMS rioting over Uni fees, theres some real passion there about not paying 14 grand for an education.

Have been AWOL lately for a few reasons:


1. Shitloads of assignments and papers to finish. Also been in the lab doing my research project.

2. I have no internet at my house anymore because it got cut off for some reason. I'm now with relatives for the holidays so i have it again! Hoorah!

3. Haven't been training a lot lately because of the above uni work, and i've had a dose of the old flu. Took a lot of time off.


With that said, im really happy how the 5/3/1 program has worked this last few months, and have started some 1RM testing so i can actually do this properly. The first of these testing workouts is below!

So i started out with deadlifts because they're my favourite, and a friend recently got a 225kg (495lbs) deadlift, and another friend got a massive 300kg (660lbs) deadlift and i wanted to get my own PR in there too. We all lift raw, and are natural so i consider these great numbers.

Deadlifts:
5 x 70kg / 154lbs
5 x 90kg / 198lbs
5 x 110kg / 242lbs
3 x 120kg / 264lbs
3 x 130kg / 286lbs
3 x 140kg / 308lbs
1 x 170kg / 374lbs
1 x 200kg / 440lbs
0 x 220kg / 484lbs

So yeah, i failed on that ambitious 220kg, but i only went for it because the 200kg was so damned smooth going up. Really felt good. No doubt it was heavy as fuck, but i was so psyched to get it i actually can't remember anything about that rep. I have 3 witnesses who say it was a good clean rep though, so i'm really chuffed with it! Has been a major goal of mine for a very long time.

After this went onto military despite being absolutely drained.

Military Press:
5 x 20kg / 44lbs
5 x 30kg / 66lbs
5 x 40kg / 88lbs
3 x 45kg / 99lbs
3 x 50kg / 110lbs
3 x 55kg / 121lbs
1 x 60kg / 132lbs
1 x 70kg / 154lbs
1 x 80kg / 176lbs
0 x 85kg / 187lbs

Was pretty happy with these too. Form was good and strict, just wish i could have got that last rep because then i would be pressing my bodyweight overhead which has also been a big goal of mine for a while. Few months definitely!

As well as this i ordered Manowar tickets for March, so it's been an incredible morning. Started the holidays off well

Next time (few days) Squats and Bench!

Deadlift fantastic Gaz and 80kg for military press is that too,, is that a push press?

Thanks mate!

And no, thats a strict press. I was wondering whether to switch to push press as military isn't improving very much, but i think i'll give it a few more cycles before switching over.

Gaz, Zercher squats for a leadoff to the Texas Method. Do or dont?
I found them really enjoyable today on my deload week. I think I have a new favorite exercise!
