1st day complete! Got my 2nd conversation with 1 of the neighbours down the road of the house I was working at today (an old woman). 3rd one was a woman (probably mid 40's) who was walking her dog on the same field as I was walking mine on after work. Neither conversation was difficult but...

The "money game" is very effective It certainly is when you're a Yorkshireman like me! (for all you Americans not in the know, us Yorkshiremen are notoriously tight with our cash! I do fully intend to have the self-discipline to do it by myself, although having people following my journal on...

John: thanks a lot...............try my challenge as well if you like...........having somebody else doing the same thing would be terrific motivation

So now, aged 30, I've decided it's time to try to rediscover the confidence and the sociability that I built up all those years ago. I've set myself a mission over the next 3 weeks: Each day, I will actively seek out conversations with people I don't know. For each decent length conversation (2...

However, over the past 9 years, I would say that the sociability and confidence I built up back then has dropped off. Between 2006 and 2010, I had 3 relationships. Being in these meant that I wasn't going out chatting to people nearly as much. In 2011, I started Internet dating (as much as...

Hi chaps! First of all, this is my first post on SoSuave in 7 and a half years! I was on here many moons ago. Between 2004 and 2005 I had a Bootcamp Diary log on here http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=62685&highlight=GodsGiftToFatBirds At the time I wrote this, I was aged 20 to...

Quick question for you Alex (and any of the other experienced lifters on here): how essential to you consider it to be to get the protein in in the 15-20mins immediately after the session? Reason I ask is that whenever a do a really tough session like today (finished with widowmakers), I...

Good effort! Out of interest though, why only once a month for widowmakers? Reason I ask is that I use them on every legs session at the mo (approx once every 5 days) and I'm curious as to whether there's some benefit in only doing them occassionally and doing other rep ranges the rest of...

I think its the same with a lot of bodyweight exercises. I remember when I was 14, I could do 18 chin ups (proper ones, arms fully straightened) but I don't think I could do any more than that now, even though I'm a lot stronger.

Thanks, yeh, I used to do summat very similar to that - ie a 3 day split without a seperate day for shoulders and triceps. The reason I stopped was that with having chest, shoulders and triceps on the same day, my performance on the shoulders and triceps exercises was always sh!t from having...

Thanks for your advice. I'll update with the session I did on Friday (after the original post), then respond to your questions/opinions. Friday's session was chest, went as follows: DB Incline Bench: 6reps w/22kg (I always do a warm up set and always forget to record it!)...

Alright guys, Couldn't help noticing there seems to be quite a few of the more experienced lifters/ weight trainers back on the board now and that the weights journals are getting pretty decent feedback at the mo. Thought I'd share with you the sessions I've been doing the last 2-3 weeks (I...

Just a thought here but if you're only doing a 2 day split, you might be suffering from not having enough recovery time between sessions. For example, if you're training triceps (you say you're pretty strong on triceps) under 'accessory body parts' in your 2nd session, then they might still be...

Just read through the last few entries in this - purely out of interest, whats the reason behind so many reps on deadlifts?

Yeh, if you're not gonna be posting here any more, then yeh, cheers mate, for all the advice you've given me on my thread, I've benefitted a lot from it.

Has anyone else found that taking creatine gives you a sore arse? Like itchy. And before anyone makes any 'hilarious' comments, its not down to anything else, I'm not that way inclined!

Tbh mate, I'm very surprised you're telling me to cut back on the milk. Agreed its maybe not the ideal protein source and not as good as beef but my thinking behind drinking it has always been: i'm gonna have to have summat to drink with every meal, and milk's the best option cos its higher in...

Cheers for the feedback, over the next day or 2, I'll be drawing up a new meal plan based on what you've said, then I'll post it on here. Don't think so, not noticeable anyway, you can still see my abs even tho I've done no direct abs work for a couple of months. But like I said, I'm...

Hello!! Anybody there??? - I didn't spend half an hour calculating all those foods to get no feedback on it at all!! Today's session was legs, decided to experiment with the 5*5 on squats, worked alright I think, couldn't honestly say if its better than the widowmaker, tho it does allow you...

It hasn't been doing tbh. It might be summat to do with the fact that I'm naturally very low bodyfat (had it tested when I was 15, was 5%). Sure, here's yesterdays, which was a fairly typical day for me: 10:30am 2 Eggs, 1 Slice Toast, 1 Pint Milk = 540 cals, 37g Protein 1pm Fish...
