    Check out Joe Wicks's recipes, super tasty and designed to build muscle and strip fat. I got his latest cook book and have seen more gains than before.

    Who foam rolls? Do you find it helps? I want to do it regularly but only end up doing it with an injury when it really helps

    What do you guys think of lifting with a belt? I tried for the first time yesterday squating and found it a much nicer experience, the lift wasn't easier but I felt a lot more stable and went up 5kgs on my previous 5 rep max. Do anyone of you use one?

    What does a mid rep range do? I do 5x5 after warm up sets on my squat and deadlift to keep form and lift heavier.

    I found a video in YouTube that shows the progressive steps and I whizzed through them, but at the time I could plank for 5/6 mins. Same place you got the thumbnail from https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IUZJoSP66HI - - - Updated - - - I got to about 110kgs but wanted to push deeper to...

    That sucks man, I hope you and your partner are doing better now. That does sound like it would have a negative impact on your lifting, have you thought about changing up your programme, find gains elsewhere - weighted Nordic curls/cable fly/dumbbell press and then go back to increasing your...

    Same for me as jack, it's a catharsis for me after being in the office, I was chatting to my gf earlier and she hit a deadlift PB today and she was in a shitty mood when she went to the gym. How have you managed a week of constant arguments when it's your birthday week?
