    <p>Rolling out hurts bro, just means you are doing it righ! - I just try not to cry like a bitch in front of everyone when the pain kicks in  :shock: for me it's the side of my quads (IT band) that hurts the worst.</p>

    <p>Calves are the worst place to roll. Hurts like buggery!! Definitely worth it though as I find it really helps with my recovery.</p>

    In terms of recovery I think the compulsory rest day with Stronglifts actually allows me to do that pretty well

    <p>Cool to see the Powerwall stuff is still going mate - Feels like Tesla and Elton are increasingly visible these days (read his updated goals - very cool) so fingers crossed that means opportunities for ya!</p>

    <p>You should see some of the haters talking shit about how its not the Powerwall, its everything else I'm doing :lol:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Like I ever pretended otherwise! The system as a whole has been awesome, and the Powerwall is part of that. When I start selling power like a mini-power station they'll be lining up to chew a fatty.</p>

    <p>ha ha if you are interested in export I'd take some cheap power for sure!!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>ps even with that strong lifts rest day I'd be hitting the roller for each session. At the very least before you lift but it does wonders for recovery too.</p>

    <p>Stronglifts has two days for recovery after each cycle doesn't it ? ( can't remember exactly ).</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Deadlifts are always the ones you stall on last if I remember rightly.</p>

    <p>The 5x5 program I'm following recommends a full day between workouts. I usually do Mon-Wed-Fri and leave the weekends for chilling.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Stepped on the scales at home and was under 102 for the first time in a while. Eating has been much better this week for starters, and adding a bit of walking has started to change things a little.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Could be about to ramp up the weight loss side of things if my previous times are anything to go by.</p>

    That farking sucks. Isn't it a bit harsh that the whole club gets punished? Or was is just your team?

    Whole club booted for actions of a few players, mostly First Grade newbies brought by Coach Fuckwit. Who is now ex-coach fuckwit<br><br>
    Yet, another club in our Division has five red cards across the season and got docked a few points. That's two more than the "tolerable offence level" BUT because their players fronted the judiciary, they get to continue their 2s and 3s into finals.

    This one is "Lean Recovery". Have to check there isn't too much sugar in it

    That is shit. I absolutely hate clubs with fuckwit leaders that piss on the true club guys by getting ringins who never go to training, often don't pay subs and who aren't even guaranteed of showing up.

    <p>Yep.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So all we can do is learn from it, make our systems better, call out the fuckwit factor and do our best to prevent it ever happening again.</p>

    <p>Had a good night down the pub with some club stalwarts. Planning underway. Season 2017 is going to kick arse.</p>

    <p>Gym this very morning, trying to blow a few red wine cobwebs out of the system ;)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Squats: 5 x 5 x 110kg - real effort required to finish these. First set is always tough, but middle sets were OK. Will stick on this for next session and concentrate on form</p>
    <p>Military: 5 x 5 x 48kg - again, last set was real effort. Had to bend the back for that</p>
    <p>Deadlifts: 1 x 5 x 145kg - grunt!</p>
    <p>Chins: 1 set of 5 followed by a few variations</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>So, added weight to all lifts. Need to work on a little bit of form with each one so those numbers will probably stay where they are this week.</p>

    <p>what type of warmup are you doing for the squats nick? could have something to do with the first set being tougher?</p>

    <p>Get a kettlebell or a heavy dumbbell - hold that up in front rack position (goblet squat) and sit into a squat. Use a heavy enough weight so it lets you sit into as deep a squat as possible. First set just hold it for 20-30sec then start moving about a bit in the second/third sets. It works a treat imo. The weight forces you to straighten your torso and get into a good position ahead of full blown squats.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Note - I'd suggest that after a minimum of 10min stretching and rolling out legs - gotta get things firing before you start putting the weight on bro!</p>
