I don't suppose you're a fan of Jim Wendler?

I have the biggest mancrush ever on Wendler. I'm growing a beard and everything.

Incidentally, I was at starbucks the other day and said my name was Jim when they asked for my name to put on the takeaway cup. True story.

North of Vag isn't a thing. It's a concept, from 5/3/1:

'Don't fall for that crap that people are peddling on the message boards, in magazines or on TV. Get your **** in order, and get your training in order. Start kicking ass, and take out the crap that doesn't matter. Start doing and believing in the stuff that works, and do it today and forever. You want science and studies? **** you, I've got scars and blood and vomit.
This is a call to arms for some of you. It is for me too. Stop all the things that make you a pussy and steal your energy. Get your life back.' - Jim Wendler

Interesting fella. I went and looked up Wendler's book and website and am impressed.

Normally, I am a bit ambivalent towards guys, especially when talking about strength training/body building/sports etc. who go on endlessly about manning up, being tough and just sound like they are somehow overcompensating or even overstating things (e.g. when Rippletoe goes on about the importance of strength in modern life and how it defines your whole worth as a man, yadda, yadda) but I have to say that Wendler comes across as being more down to earth, realistic and honest with stuff.

Considering my bodyweight, I can't press for ****. It's coming along nicely though.

Wendler is awesome. He knows his **** and talks in plain simple language. He also knows how to get big and strong- squat, press, pull, condition, repeat. Unless you're a genetic freak this is the only way. I'm still surprised as to why so many people (on here and in real life) just don't get this.

Gain weight. Works for me

Today's training was amusing. I went down the gym at around 1400. Back, hips and knees were agony so I came home took double doses of paracetemol, ibuprofin and diclofenac (I seriously don't recommend anyone else do this- just to be clear) had a couple cups of rocket fuel coffee and listened to some slipknot to get fired up and went back at 1700. Had a solid 90% session which I'm quite pleased with considering.

Squat

60x10
100x5
130x5
155x7
170x2
175xf (had this but dumped it as I didn't want to grind it cos my back was being retarded)

Paused Squat

100x5
110x5
110x5
110x5
110x5

Cut it there, didn't want to piss my back off too much cos the painkillers sent me to a magical land where pain doesn't exist. Fortunately I was with it enough to realise that I'd come back to the real world with a bang at some point...

Speaking of which, my whole posterior chain is 'bad' hurting atm. Tomorrow is going to be fun.

See the above post

Fitness test was fun. Kinda pleased with my max pushups, would have liked 60 though but my rotator cuff has been playing up a treat for the last weak or so and I couldn't tolerate any more pain-pain so I packed it in at 55 seconds.
