That said, I think a v general rule of thumb is that if you can bench 1xBW, squat 1.25xBW and deadlift 1.5xBW then you're in a good place.

This is helpful and at 75kg I'm over those benchmarks - I've been trying to get lighter and stronger this year which is kind of hard

I think the Niche is a a little bit better than this review would suggest vs a Sette but they do also tend to hold their price more. So unless you could stretch to that then 2nd that a hand Sette would be a good option @jakemcree

Yes dude. Crushing it!

I've spent the last few months suffering from running injuries and have taken that as impetus to do more gym work. I'm still focussing on strength work that will be mostly helpful for running but gotta get the gainz where you can

Thanks!

@zooeyzooey thank you !

So I shouldn't be thinking what would be a good version of strong for someone my size, I should just see what I can lift?

Could someone on here help me to understand a bit better how to think about how much I'm lifting vs bodyweight and how to get a sense of RPE/ 1 rep max

Today I did 3 x 6 OHP at 60kg and 3 x 6 80kg benchpress but I don't really know what my 1 rep max on either of these is. Should I?

Yeah, this always happens when people get planning approval. Mad that the current sales advert makes the house look worse than before. I imagine the owner has spent £20k on the planning side of things and decided that given the cost is just trying to flip it. I'm not even that keen on the new floorplan.

Quite into this house (also great location)

had a feeling that would get me status in this lounge too

Update on toe: Seems to be mostly better, so I'm assuming I sprained it?!

Hay palisade stuff is rock solid

Wore a green linen chore coat yesterday 🤷‍♂️

As above blood work came back normal, no gout.

I was worried it could be an issue with my kidney not processing uric acid bc my diet is definitely not that which gout is associated (no alcohol, mostly veg, very active etc)

Get the pressure washer out James!

Some danner boots on tk - they had Yuketens yesterday, Paraboots last week and Aldens the week before, so worth keeping an eye here or in store

Went for a couple of fairly easy runs over the weekend, some of which 3-4km was along a coastal path but nothing wild and then in the day playing on the beach. I woke up with a pain in my right toe on Monday morning. I went to the gym and did an upper body workout and 30mins z2 ride. Tuesday morning toe was super painful, spoke with phone gp and they said it could be gout or a ligament damage. prescribed Naproxen. Tuesday night woke a couple of times due to the pain. Wednesday went to doctor. Said she thought it might be a fracture but could also be gout. Went for xray and blood tests. Pain has been less bad last 2 days but still very sore. xray confirmed no fracture and blood work came back normal. So could I have ligament damage that would only impact the right big toe? Cant really bend it and it is swollen. thoughts on a postcard plz...

I've got one for the group which might be better in the medical questions thread:

I'm not disagreeing with you but I think depending on types of job etc it can be more or less difficult.

This can be hard when travelling with work. Like I say at lunch is often easy but if you are taking clients, colleagues or teams out for dinner/drinks then ordering a salad without at least feeling silly can be tough. Add on the drinking element of lots of these and I understand it. Food cooked out is also often made with more oil/butter and in the states even a salad isn’t really a healthy choice all the time!

Yes to offset against CGT

I’ve maxed out my cgt allowance so looking at ways to increase it

Have you heard of tiny habits?

I wonder if you're trying to get everything back to as it was before and the barrier is too great.
Feels like the getting up early is the key point to getting back on track. Are you getting good sleep and enough? Did you have a sleep routine before which has now changed?

perhaps for the next few days, get to bed early and set an alarm. If you don't get up, don't stress it you've started to get some routine. Then the next few days after that, early to bed, set alarm and wake up. Perhaps put some clothes out before bed so you can just get up and put those on. Sit downstairs and don't try to achieve anything but be up. And then keep going from there.

Yeah, they don't have size 13. I'm gonna give the novablast a go and see how I get on with those.

Anyone know much about booking a loss to offset tax? I have a couple of investments in shares not in isas which have tanked eg Deliveroo if I sell these in this financial year am I able to offset the loss ?

Maybe I’m missing something but those are normal chest/waist measurements.

This reminds me of the derek guy thread

Why do you need a super slim shirt?
What are your proportions ? Shoulder, chest, waist etc

Yeah this is actually quite tricky.

If you are staying in one place for a bit then this is my routine:

Don’t eat food on the plane - it’s crap and full of calories. I pack some fruit, healthy snacks and drink tons of water.
Buy food from a supermarket and keep it in hotel fridge. I usually get skyr, fruit, water etc. I travel with protein powder.
I will then make breakfast and have it in a hotel room.
When I’m away I can normally workout more than when at home, so I try to do this.

During the working day do not drink your calories! If you are able to choose your own lunch great. If not then try and opt for a salad - nobody will bat an eyelid at this during the day.

I default to not drinking, it’s easier and more common now. Means saving calories. If that’s not an option for you then maybe try and just drink less.
Then for food just try to order something reasonably healthy . I tend to just under eat and even if I leave a bit hungry I know I could eat something relatively low calorie in my hotel room
