New workout notation set up, what i SHOULD have done is in bold, what i DID do isnt.
Yeah, so a fairly dissapointing workout really. Not too bothered about it though, i usually get the weights wrong at the start of a new program, the dumbells increment in 2.5 instead of 2 KG at this gym, im still trying to guage where i am after injury time off, and ive just basically taken a week and a half off from training.
Still fucking knackered. Couldnt push my door open or take my shirt off my muscles are so fatigued. So i guess thats good, as long as i dont fail quite so much on a regular basis.
Plan is to take the volume lifts down by 2 sets (10x6/10x3 for Dips and Pullups respectively) and take the weights ive got written for the 3x8 lifts down by 1 increment while increasing RI by 0:15.
Hopefully by next week i should be more up to speed, i doubt ill fail as much so i wont have that stress to carry over to the other lifts, the RIs will be a tad higher, and ill have taken two sets off that volume thing. Hopefully itll have a cumulative effect of me actually being able to complete the session.
Thats a lot of changes and tweaks, but id rather complete a session and kick my ego in the crotch than burn out through constant failure and end up back to square one.
The only problem now is that my ego is even bigger than my cock, so its tough to keep it in check.

I know what you mean about the ego man. You keep remembering what you used to lift and adjust according to those numbers. Even if you progress, it still doesn't feel like progress, because it's not a PR. It's just a small step in the direction of your old self, while every bit of progress used to be an all-time high, something you had never done before. It's tough, but we know what we should do.
When you lower the weights, you might feel a slight sting in the back of your head. That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts.

Wise and true words, dude. Thats totally how i feel right now. I mean, yeah, i worked out that 30KG DBs is probably my 5RM at this level, which is pretty high compared to a month ago...but i was DB pressing 40-45's for 4 before, and more on the BB
.Doesnt make sense.
One day ill get the feeling back from when i got my Deadlift PR. I think i was the third highest in that gym at the time, even though it was only 130KG. Not even 300x1, but still. Was great lifting something that heavy, a real accomplishment, and a few guys came up to me after i was done and slapped me on the back for it.
One day! I do wanna keep working on the strength side of it when im healed up, possibly (probably) go back on Westside, and kick out some true PRs.
Untill then, the ego will need to be stepped on every morning before i go out.

You may not be happy, but it still looks great to me. 12 x 6 Dips, back at the madness again. Great job, mere mortals would be really proud of that workout.
That is serious. You must be a suiside risk with so little self esteem.

Lol, thanks man. It was a tough one. I think the modifications will crack this one. Next time will be better methinks
Bitch get real, the only suicide risk here is if i lose my balance trying to take a piss and get crushed under the weight of my giant balls.

I had something informative to say about your workout, but whenever I tried typing it out, it always ended up as, "Crazy motherfucker". 
Solid workout, Gaz! Even is you fail a little short.

Haha, thanks dude
Its been a while since ive done a session with 6 movements in it, so its really no wonder im beat up right now!
for having a problem back I'd be quite pleased with that workout. for not having a problematic back I'd still be pleased! great job man, slow and steady until the back is 100% is better than nothing at all.

Mostly watercolors. That's really the only type of paint I like to work with, but it seems to be the hardest to do.

This is it, i shouldnt be so hard on myself, but if i wasnt id still weigh 112lbs. Its how i roll
.But yeah, thanks! Was a toughie
For crazy people like you what i posted above may constitute a long lie-in and a wank, but yes - for me thats a workout
Thanks, man! I think they were the cause of my lacklustre performance later on. Low intensity, but the high volume more than makes up for it - my chest was about as powerful as raw bacon.
Haha, yeah, i was never good at watercolours. I was thinking about getting back into it though, something to do over christmas at least.
Any tips? Its been about 4 years since i did any sort of art past doodling...
Any photos of your work youd care to share?

^^^And in a nutshell...what got Vortit kicked out of his last gym....
And nobody looked at that power rack quite the same way again.
Christ Gaz - you got back into the gym and had a good workout, that's what counts. You'll be back in peak condition soon enough, don't worry. If we were constantly in peak condition, then we couldn't call it a peak, could we?
You're doing great. The most important thing is that your back remains pain free. Although, you might want to consider getting support briefs. If your balls are as big as you say . . . . . . . . i think we may have found the source of your back problems . . . .

Hahaha, I'm loving this banter guys. Some total sick burns by goob there
Nice workout, Gaz. I can imagine it must be hard when you were lifting that big before, but keep that ego in check (for now), don't get injured again, and I can't believe you won't be setting PRs again before you know it

That, my friend, is Hunter S. Thompson; journalistic pioneer, savage political commentator, and above all a man who pushed life to the very limits and beyond. Have you seen the film Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas? With Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro? That was based on his most famous book. Take a look on Wikipedia if you're interested, he truly was one of a kind. RIP, Hunter.
And yeah, it's going good, thanks. Just deadlifted over 100 pounds for the first time (which shows you how much of a noob I am). I cranked out 4, 4, 4 without much trouble so I reckon I can go much heavier, but I'm building up slowly. Don't wanna rush it and injure myself.
How about yourself?

I've mostly been doing practice exercises with the paint for school. I really don't think any of my painting are good enough yet to worry about posting, but if I get more time later I will try to post one.
As far as tips, just buy some cheap art supplies to start with and have fun.
My art class just started with painting simple shapes mostly with a colored background.

Did you have to tell everyone about that? I'm actually running out of gyms. I'm pretty sure 90% of the people at my current gym hate me, and I haven't even jerked off on on piece of equipment... yet!
