Outstanding weights. Quite amazing. Interesting about the 1rep max on each session. I don't think I have even tried a 1 rep max.
Also being world class & not even taking any supps but whey makes me wonder just how much more you will or will not be able to do now you are trying creatine etc.
Awesome

In all honesty i think the whole supps issue is way over-rated. Most supps do nothing for performance and at best provide a placebo like effect and supps that are worthwhile provide an extra 5% - 10% tops, the rest is split between training, recovery (nutrition & rest) and genetic predisposition.

I totally agree with that Karlos. Good training & diet is far more important than supps.

lol thanks bud, i thought i may get bullied for that comment. Most people are very supplement happy on this forum

Some people on here take much more than top level athletes.

Beastly pressing strength mate.

Excellent weight there.

1x500kg+1 Barry! hes about 75kg.


loved the session today! Feeling groovy about training again etc and making gains! Machine isnt as good as proper squats but really gives the legs a great pump and is better than using a smith. I wish I had longer this morning.

lol crazy!

Why dont you like smith?

KP

the machine has a more natural movement as it moves in a slight arc.

you are one mighty big strong MOFO!

Very decent of your mate to act as a makeweight.

Haha!
Nice pressing there...

lol +1 barry, awesome! where was you in terms of strength at 19 if you dont mind me asking?

rogue_zero wrote:1x500kg+1 Barry! hes about 75kg.

lol Your squat machiney strength seems to have gone up by about 1 Barry since I last looked at your journal.

575kg machine squat??!!

OK, so it's a machine, OK, so it's not a real squat...

...but 575kg? Still. Jeez. I presume the movement feels something akin to a "hack squat"?

These machines are pretty good at mimicking the movement. Used to use at my old gym.

Mental load up though Rogue.

plus barry! ROFLMAO!!!!

Next time you need to get a picture of the +barry. Or will it be plus barry x2?

Feed the Barry up... We want MORE...

I think you're right regardless that i do love my supplements. However I would argue that for how I train and how lean I am I'd find it very hard to sustain the level of training I'm currently using. No doubt if I sacraficed some BF for extra calories or reduced my total work load then I could happily de-supplement to basics.

Without beng all boastfull I'm in pretty good shape right now asthetically and strength wise which hand on heart has a lot to do with supplementation.

Also I find it interesting to see how the body reacts to them and how far you can push it.

You'd also be surprised just how much some athlete's supplement, depending on the sport of course.

great arm session at the end with dumbells, was training with pal and got a bit of a comp going. Both going to put in for Gladiators for a laugh!

im in Finland on a training course (cant say what) so normal service will be resumed soon. Just been in a cryotreatment room at -113 C! not that bad to be honest. Was in just over 3 mins which is all your allowed. Good tho!

Can we now add Barry as a Unit of measurement?

i.e I squatted 3 x Barry = 225kg!

Barrys are now official
1 barry = 75kg
1 bazza = 37.5kg
