Seven.

[Ghostwolf]

Seven you're an inspiration what ever you decide. keep rocking it girlie.

[SevenofSeven]

Doing a mini-major clean while the Lads watch the fight. I hate changing bedding for 8 people, it takes FOREVER!

[SevenofSeven]

Watched the fight anyway.........grrrrrrrr, it just made me mad. Mayweather is not a sportsman, he is a dick. And the interview after the fight, the guy who interviewed Manny Pacquiao should be fired, a non native English speaker and he's asking loaded questions, that's not interviewing that's just being a dick too.

Just made me mad!

[SevenofSeven]

Did a BW workout with Son6, OMG, he killed it, it nearly killed me!

YAY... not for your almost death but for him. :-)

[Leimanu]

I didn't see the fight, but read a quick round-by-round recap where he kinda won each one, then saw a video of everyone booing Merryweather.  But he's on some kind of 28-0 streak and is making bonkers money, so it's not surprising.

I am the queen of excuses today.

I am the queen of excuses today.

Oh? Excuses (not) to do what?

[SevenofSeven]

Why is it every time I see my Mum these days she is spewing negatives about the boys........all the time. Her favourite phrase has changed from "You should" to "Your kids" according to my Mum, I have dropped the ball on raising my Lads. Only because I don't tap their chest with my finger and insist that they should...........I tried to point out that they are adults now, legally able to drink, vote, go to jail and there is nothing I can do about it.

Her latest is that one Lad cannot stay at her place because she doesn't want to be responsible if he gets hurt at work because he has not gone to bed.

Tried to point out to her, it is not her responsibility, she doesn't need to take that on board and if he gets hurt he is an adult now and will have to deal with whatever comes with that.

I have suggested they get themselves to bed, the need for a decent nights sleep and healthy eating, but that's not good enough for her, she wants me to be her mini me. Fuck that shit.

Slapped together to just see where I am at. Lost some strength in the squat, and somehow making my back twitchy, I think because I am trying to break big at the hips and then sending my back into an arch. Never ever had this problem before, but it makes me think maybe my lower back is too weak.

The rest well, on the money really, except 90kg deadlift WOOT!

[Mr_Willes]

Congrats on the lift! What a coincidence, i'm trying that tonight! 90 KG last time was pretty tough!

 

Way to go!

That's what I did not long ago, couldn't quite get back up without bending over more, so I paused at that weight and let the rest of me catch up, and it seems to have worked. My weight has gone up a bit, and my back is still pretty solid.

 

and congrats on that deadlift.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.... serious ILS there... that's great.

[SevenofSeven]

Soooooo cold this morning, very happy Dad had the fire going when we got to his place this morning.

[SevenofSeven]

So kinda got back into it tonight.

Stronglifts:

Warm Up:

Some of New Rules of Lifting with the Son1, skipping 2x1min, stuff!

Squats:

1x10@BW

1x15@10kg

1x5@20kg

1x5@50kg

1x5@80kg

4x5@70kg

Something still happening with the left side of my lower back. Really concerns rated on form to make sure things weren't getting out of control but everything seems good except the right knee still buckling. Guess I stay at this weight until I get it sorted.

Bench

5x5@40kg

Might need to add the weight to these. Felt really good.

BOR:

5x5@40kg

Going to stay here for a little while longer.

I really don't understand why I'm getting the back pain and knee buckle now after all this time. The weight is nothing I can't handle so you would figure I would be right to move on. Form check video might be needed.

[Basement Cat]

Good job on the weights, Seven!

 

I hope whatever is happening to your knee and back isn't too serious and that you'll get better soon. 70 kg squats... I'm dying just looking at that.

[SevenofSeven]

Finding out that I cannot do all the things.

[Leimanu]

You can't do all the things, but shoot, you do many many things!!

 

Oh, Moms.....

 

It sounds like you just need a form check.  Sometimes I have to catch myself trying to lift my ego instead of the weight, and I feel that right in my back.  Ain't now shame in stepping back in the weight and easing into dem gainz.

[SevenofSeven]

I have been so busy! Argh, please slow the world down, I can't keep up!

Assessments tonight at Ambo training........argh, doing my bloody head in!

[SevenofSeven]

Just need to understand why my partner won't be more supporting of my efforts. Strange little conversation about how Arnold Schwarzenegger was ugly back in the day and even worse now, he is a lump of lard..............WTF. Showed him Arnie, Frank, Reg and some of the others in their prime and compared them to PHIL, Kai and Jay, he reckons it's all ugly.

So my adoration of Arnie and his mates now goes underground, their work ethic, their will power and all that I hold dear from them is now stuffed back inside and I will endeavour to carry on.

[Basement Cat]

I'm sorry to hear about the lack of support, Seven. We're here for you though! You keep pursuing your goals! Go go go! 

[Stonie]

Not underground, over here, where it's your interests are appreciated

 

I think he has his definition of "lard" mixed up with something else. 

[SevenofSeven]

I have been on these forums for over two years now. This is my Second Rottnest trip with the Venturers while being on here. Milestone? Yes!

[peelout]

I recently lost my last 8lb's to reach my "ideal" wt of 163.  Now I have a thin bone structure, so naturally I look thin when I have lost most of the showable body fat.  About a month ago, a guy who is about 5'8 and I'm pretty sure weighs 250 or more and has to wear suspenders to hold up his pants asked me if I had lost wt.  When I said, yes, he told me not to lose any more and that I should gain some with a worried look in his face.  I think a lot of peoples opinions of what looks good has been skewed by the number of people they see overweight.  That is becoming the new norm.

 

I personally don't like modern body builders builds.  I grew up in the era of Arnold, Zane, Park, Nubret, etc when there was a well defined V shaped taper down to a narrow but chiseled waist.  Today's top body builders stomachs actually protude because the steroids not only increase muscle size, they increase inner organ size.

  

Try showing pictures of thinner framed BB's like Frank Zane - Mr Olympia 77-79.  Some people like myself prefer the thinner builds over Arnold and the like.

Or show your partner Cory Everson - Ms Olympia 84-89

 

 

Little known useless fact about Frank Zane.  He is still married to the woman he was with in the 70's.  Amazing for this day and age.

On an island and the storm has been raging since this morning. How fitting this is literally the same thing happening in my life figuratively back on the mainland.
