Its big, hairy and probably smells II - Achilles Log

[Achilles]

Havent been logging for a while but its always nice to get some feedback and keeping track of your own progress

In short:
I pretty much still suck at lifting weights. Still need to learn a lot along with that I need to get much stronger. Been injured and still recovering right now (broken patella). But that wont hold me back.

I'm training for strength but a nice physique is always welcome!

3...2...1...Go!

You're in the right place. We have a great group of strong guys here that are glad to help.

First workout looks great. Simple with the important lifts. My kind of workout.

The alarm goes! Its time to get up! But its hard because I trained legs for the first time in 9 weeks. Standing up was hard already but the stairs is the real killer. Going for the first dump of the day made me realize I had to go down again to sit on the toilet! But this is softcore can you handle it!

• Sumo DL
  5x60kg
  3x80kg
  2x90kg
  1x100kg
• Bench Press
  5x60kg
  5x60kg

  I suck at holding the arched position. Need some work!
• Bent over row
  5x60kg
  5x60kg
  5x60kg
• Dips

DL with DOMS isnt fun at all although it went good. Going for the sumo for a while hoping to add a few pounds on my DL

I miss those days. It's hard for me to get much leg soreness anymore.

Great job on deadlifting with sore wheels.

I suck at holding the arched position too...it takes some work but good looking workout!

I suggest some 20 repper breathing squats for a nice amount of soreness
