    Eye appointment yesterday, didn't go as planned so not a happy bunny. Deadlifts last night and what a nasty one. 165kg 5x6 and they were glued to the floor. Technique off which makes it even more difficult, and to top it all off I thought it was vitally important to "pop" a muscle in my hip!! So...

    I am looking for a forum dedicated to exercise on this site..I have searched and searched no....luck

    @brassyblonde900 if you have just recently started lifting in a few more weeks the benefits will really start to kick in. It's been suggested that the effects last for 24hrs after a good weights session, both for utilising the glucose in the blood/muscle and also any fat burning properties, so...

    Last night was deadlift, which consisted of 155kg 5x5, but with lots of reps to warm up as I increased the weight. This week has been a "Deload" week so I can get back into the swing of it. I fully intend on beginning my proper training next week. Take care everyone.
