Getting back into it this week after a very patchy last few weeks and a full week off last week. Feeling well rested and ready to get on with it. Got a few sessions to post from the last few weeks including a few PR's, but I honestly can't remember what I did in the way of running and grip work.

Nothing says 'functional strength' like squatting while a guy is kicking the crap out of you.

I can relate to the paranoia about the floor breaking, I hadn't even considered it until recently when I noticed the floor of the first floor room I lift in creaking in ways I hadn't noticed before over the areas where I Squat and Deadlift. Maybe it was always that way and I've just become...

31/1/10 - Sunday Running 20 minutes, no sprints. Stopped once and restarted in the same places as Wednesday but god was it a struggle, I got a bad stitch early on and ran through it but I was almost doubled over in pain by the time I got home. Doesn't my body know that cardio isn't supposed to...

Thanks man, a couple of my lifts feel like they're starting to hit real sticking points so it's nice to scroll back through recent sessions and still see a couple of flashes of red.

Some good advice in here but there's no magic bullet, your first few sessions of anything are going to hurt. It'll get easier if you stick with it.
