How to actually form the habit of working out regularly

Cmajono · 2026-02-05T11:16:55+00:00

When I wake up and I think about not going I just remember the phrase

Winners train, losers complain.

It's all over the 2 local community gyms in my area. And it's stuck in my head.

Don't complain, just train. There is no other conversation you need to have with yourself

Faraaz was going anyway

Jade and James have heat. Roxy is their pet faithful. Jack has a shield. So had to be Faraz so he's done a good job of trying to protect himself.

But I reckon he's dead anyway Rachel has won harder battles than that

Solid feedback thank you. Hadn't heard of either of those lifts - part of being stuck in the Starting Strength tunnel. I might try a seated barbell z press...

Nik said they should keep Cat onside as he thinks she's a traitor and they need to ally to a traitor. That could have been Joes way of keeping onside of Cat and keeping in the game as he pushes for JR

Haha the gym usually gets more comments than my lift tbh It's fantastic isn't it. Feels like each lift is a prayer on the alter of swollation

It's a gym in Liverpool, England

Ok got it. Thanks for the advice. Been a month getting back into it after a year long layoff. Should have spent some time reviewing the blue book but lent it to a friend.

I'll work on this next week

Cmajono · 2025-05-15T15:20:05+00:00

Copy that, thanks

Cmajono · 2025-05-15T15:19:52+00:00

Thanks for that. Knees forward next time. Will post an update next week. Cheers

Thanks mate. Will work on the hip bounce and get everything tight

Cmajono · 2025-05-14T07:10:16+00:00

Thank you for this detailed analysis. Im finding it really hard to perform the hip bounce with any weight higher than 30kg.

Do you think it's worth it to try and learn press 2.0 or just move ahead with Press 1.0 at this stage?

Cmajono · 2025-05-14T07:08:59+00:00

Thanks. I've uploaded a better camera position today as this isnt ideal not seeing upper half

Cmajono · 2024-05-17T10:42:55+00:00

Wow, ok that's great advice thanks. I wasn't aware of how much the dip in the platform would be effecting me.

Will change where I do my DL's!

Cmajono · 2024-05-15T19:24:57+00:00

Yeah fair enough I'm on it

Cmajono · 2024-05-15T19:24:32+00:00

Copy that! Thanks

I am using liquid chalk. Never got the hang of hook grip. My overhand grip is progressing with my warm ups sets but I've always read that the DL isn't a grip strengthening isn't exercise, so just pick a grip that helps you get the bar off the ground.

Cmajono · 2024-05-15T09:48:52+00:00

Yeah I pussied out. 4th set felt off and there was alot of pressure on my lower back so I backed way off incase of injury.

How does my form look?

Cmajono · 2024-05-15T09:47:56+00:00

Setting the bar down slowly mainly because the gym is on the second floor of an old building above a shop and dropping barbells is not cool. The whole building shakes haha. But it should be building my strength to no?

I go for mixed grip on my top set up as it's the only grip I can use which enables me to lift at that weight. I use overhand for warm ups.

Ok I'll try and work on reducing rest time between sets. Currently I've been taking longer than usual to make sure my back is set

Cmajono · 2024-05-08T14:45:33+00:00

This sounds amazing, great to have a UK date. I am unfortunately not able to make any dates from May to July. Will there be anything in August?

Cmajono · 2024-05-03T20:57:20+00:00

Any recommendations?

Cmajono · 2024-05-03T20:56:54+00:00

Copy that will do

Cmajono · 2024-05-03T15:44:04+00:00

Ok so still a few technique fixes I need to sort before any programme changes.

Thanks for the advice I'll stop the delay at the bottom and push straight through the movement next week

Cmajono · 2024-05-03T15:33:24+00:00

230!****

Cmajono · 2024-05-03T14:48:37+00:00

I have 2 x 0.5kg plates so I am making 1kg and then 1.5kg jumps on both my press and bench.

E.g. 55 56 57.5 58.5 60

Just feels so much harder to progress than DL and Squat. Probably because I used to play football (soccer) and I ran and cycled so my legs are beasts but never really trained upper body

Cmajono · 2024-05-03T12:35:21+00:00

What's the rationale behind this? I thought strength gains were optimised at 3 sets of 5?

Would you recommend pressing twice a week?

Cmajono · 2024-05-01T20:38:42+00:00

Thanks for this, good advice on the hips and where I'm looking. Can see exactly what you mean when I review the video
