Didn't train all weekend as I'm suffering badly with insomnia and couldn't face the gym. Had a bad night's sleep last night but decided to try to power through (all weights in kilograms). Warm-up: 5 mins walk on treadmill - 2 degree incline, approx 6 kph approx. 50 metres of lunges Workout: Low bar back squat : (bar x 10, 40 x 10, 60 x 5) 100 x 5, 100 x 5, 100 x 5, 100 x 5, 100 x 5 First time consciously low bar squatting and didn't like it - felt much slower with less rebound at bottom; also put a lot of pressure on lower back Seated DB shoulder presses: (12 x 10, 16 x 5) 24 x 5, 24 x 5, 24 x 5, 24 x 5, 24 x 5 Assisted pull-ups: (+84 x 10, +70 x 5) +63 x 5, +63 x 5, +63 x 5, +63 x 5, +63 x 5 Need to focus on engage lats during pull-ups rather than pulling with arms alone Kettlebell windmills: 20 x 5 per side, 20 x 5 per side, 20 x 5 per side Body weight: 105 kg Body fat: approx. 27%

I've wanted a fancy multi-sport fitness tracker for some time and research has led me to narrow it down to these. I think I'm going to hold off as rumours are that new versions of each are on the way soon. Does anyone have either? If so, what's your assessment of them?

Thank you both for your kind welcome!

I bought specialist Inzer deadlifting socks from the internet. Think they cost me about £15 and when they came they were essentially football socks with a logo. I'd just go to sports direct or similar and buy football socks. Or if you want something a little more fun: http://www.wackysox.com

Hi, welcome to my Battle Log. Consistency is a real issue for me with regards to diet and training so hoping this will help. I'm currently weighing in at 107 kg. My main goals are to: 1. Lose significant amounts of fat, especially around stomach 2. Improve general fitness and health 3. Improve endurance for next snowboard season 4. Increase strength 5. Increase arm size I have decided to train daily. As I quickly get bored sticking to programs I have to decided to train according to how my body and mind feels. I am hoping to transition to a primal-ish diet but will allow myself dairy. I aim to update regularly, any comments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, Scottish based member here. I've been a member of the forum for years but never been active and been really lazy about checking them recently. I guess that's quite similar to my health and fitness regime; hence why I'm back. I'm hoping that a bit of motivation and public accountability will help me on the path to get back into shape again!

The go-to watch for many runners is the Garmin forerunner 305. It's quite an old version and you can usually pick it up on eBay for less than £50.

The three main goals for the 28 days are related. They are to: 1. Lose at least 7lbs - I currently weigh 245 lbs (110kg), I would like to get down to 238 lbs or lower. 2. Eat more cleanly - Cut out junk food, takeaways, fizzy drinks. 3. To improve upon the number of pullups I can do (currently 1).

Hi all! I'm a 30 year old guy in Glasgow, Scotland. I used to be an enthusiastic trainer (even working as a fitness consultant in a gym) but have lost my way a bit over the last few years and I now weigh 245lbs. I am really struggling with motivation and hope that the site and being a member of this board will help!
