But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - PagangoddessIt's Only Metal - Jim's Log

That's what I love about Chins I've been doing them for years myself and every time I do them there just as hard as you say.

The squat, press, deadlift, and bench press have been used for decades by the strongest athletes on the planet. There is good reason for that. Any program that doesn’t use them is inferior to one that does.

The plan has to include cardio, or at least bigger trousers I just can't decide which is more trouble.
Tuesday 18/08/09
Bike - 15 mins (I really don't enjoy this)
Incline Bench (high incline 45 degrees)
135/10/10/10
220/8/15
315/1/1/1/1
Dumbell Rows
140/5/5/5/5
120/10/12/12/10
I wanted to do the dumbell rows again today as I was experimenting with a new bench to lean on, and it worked much better than yesterday.
Incline bench was a bit of a struggle at first as I normally don't go above 30 degrees incline. I got a bit carried away at 220 and did 15 reps. Which was pretty much the end of benching, 315 felt tough after that, I had planned to go up to 350, but I'll know next time.

Cardio, thinking bigger trousers would cost more? Decisions, decisions.

Bench (incline 30 deg.)

315/2/2/2/1
Dumbell Fly (incline 30 deg.)
70/8/8
96/8/8
115/5/5/5
Bench was difficult, left shoulder felt stiff, and I struggled to find the right groove for some reason.
Tuesday 25/08/09
(upper back assist)
Halting Deadlift (from top)
154/15/10
242/10
330/10

506/5/5
Dumbell Rows (single arm)
115/10/10/10/10/10
Cable Row (upright)
100/50
Seems the back has healed nicely, halting deads from the top felt good, really able to concentrate on the trap/lat connection. Next time it'll be halting from the bottom up.

Where has our Jim gone?
First cardio, then no 'breakfast sarnies' washed down with a pint
Sadly I feel I need to embark on this fiasco as well

I'm with Mouse. What happened to our Jim?Mouse, we must stage an intervention. We can't have Jim dieting, doing cardio and forgoing beer. The world just wouldn't be right.

I'm sorry about the lack of excess this week, I had a bit of a mad weekend, out Friday, many many beers. Saturday had friends round for my famous "10lb lasagne" and many more beers. Sunday I went to my Gran's 90th birthday party where I had more beer, lots of rum and ate most of a pig they roasted on a spit.
I had to put up with my mother worrying about my pork consumption and alcohol stuffed liver all afternoon, after my uncle turned up showing off his latest by-pass scar. Hence the diet/no booze, don't worry though I'm having a really bad time
I have decided to give up the cardio though it's just crap, I'm going to do a day of 20 reppers squat and deadlift at 150% of BW once per week - kill or cure.
Cheers FatGyNoMore,
I just found out about triglycerides leaking into the blood from excess BF which is a bit scary.
