Nah just work alone, need to get people to spot my bench as it gets near 50-60kg though hence I had to start on small weights.

Though I do get chatting to folk each time and they seem happy to help, some massive guy asked me if I wanted a spot today and I declined lol (thought he was gonna massacre me haha)


Surely you can just put it into the lower slot if you start to fail? I mean if your sticking it up 2.5kg you wont fail on 1st rep if you can do 5 of 2.5kg lower.

Only have one slot on our one which we move up and down as needed. I'm just being extra careful (read pussy) :p:

Lmaoo, i'm actually wondering if they are actually helping, 0.5 inch in 18 days is pretty damn good considering I havn't done barely any direct bicep work.

I imagine they help you digest more food, but along with you struggling to eat food its fairly balanced to normal probably..

I mean yeah, you're pumped like a powerlifter with that stuff :ninja: hence the gains!

Just researched it and apparently it's got no benefit for muscle gain and if anything it makes it harder :eek3: :eek3: :eek3: :eek3:.

He is on a type of steroids but its to go along with his chemotherapy not weight lifting. I just like to think it helps strength gains so i have an excuse for when all his lifts overtake mine

Still got a beast of a headache, not going to gym, will try sort myself out tonight, been sleeping mainly.

Went for appointment, apparently it's just the swelling pressing on some of my nerves or something or other, got to have a scan later in week to see how close the swelling is to the main nerves that control breathing, heart beat etc because if it annoys them then its good nigghtttttt.
