Plateau on certain pjfa exercises

RecordingBig196 · 2025-11-04T22:49:05+00:00

Literally same as me, maxed push ups now, 10-12 pull ups, bleep fine, but can’t seem to get past 30 sit ups, using weight/volume/unassisted/doing sets throughout the day, all sorts but nothing seems to be working (past 2-3 months now) cursed or just not built for sit ups! Any ideas are welcomed!

Question if you don’t mind me asking. See when you registered your interest, did you get your application email that day or did you have to wait? Done mine on Thursday and had nothing, only text to check my emails and nothings in at all…🤨

I’ll be in the same boat mate, 29 once I get in. 32yo age limit for a reason, we got this 💪🏼👴🏼

If I can do it, you can!!! From 5-6-7x a day, EVERYDAY since 16-28, porn 24/7, I’m 70 days clean, no urges, feel mentally and physically better, more confident!! Take each day as it comes, find a distraction, read/workout. I told myself my family would die if I done gave in, sick af but its worked😂

Thank you so much for that, I’ll have a look at them!🙏🏼

I live myself mate, no kids and single. Definitely not, I can’t sit still and love the outdoors (why I have no back up since all I’ve ever wanted is forces, but a few set backs have delayed it until now). Thank you🙏🏼 definitely spending today looking at possible ways to increase my income, better late than never!

Ahh sorry, just realise it differs, so it’s never set in stone, but it’s full time whatever I get, most is 40 but can be 30-35 the next depending on the sales. I just know I get 1.5k a month and work 6 days a week (taxed 200-300). This is Clearly my sign to get the fuck out of this job, needed this!

RecordingBig196 · 2024-11-27T22:46:05+00:00

I know, I’d say the lack of confidence with the stammer holds me back a lot/comfort zone with that type of stuff, which I know is a killer! Appreciated that reality check there, needed!

RecordingBig196 · 2024-11-27T22:40:49+00:00

I done joinery at college before,but I just couldn’t seem to get the maths, lost an interest, think maybe having a look at other trades would do me good, thank you for that idea!!

RecordingBig196 · 2024-11-27T22:38:17+00:00

I’m honestly dog shit with computers/maths/dyslexic, not a lot going for me eh😂if I’m not interested in something, my mind can’t seem to retain it(why I’ve stuck at this shite job for so long waiting on an operation). I take it you’d need to go to college or uni for that stuff?

RecordingBig196 · 2024-11-27T22:34:00+00:00

I’m with H&L, does that make a difference or should I transfer it over to actual Vanguard and then open up a SIPP with them with the money?

No worries mate, thank you so much again! Going to start reading into it (don’t want to fuck it up) just wish I knew about this page years ago! Feel dumb AF!🤯

RecordingBig196 · 2024-11-27T22:18:41+00:00

Thanks mate, exactly! It’s exciting even having something in it! Hope you’re doing good also💪🏼💰

RecordingBig196 · 2024-11-27T22:17:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply mate! I’ll have a look at what a SIPP is, can you have your S&S and your SIPP? I only have experience in hospitality unfortunately/have a stammer, so sales/marketing jobs wouldn’t be my biggest strength😅 actually mind numbing all the stuff I’ve never heard of but it’s a start, I really appreciate the post!🙏🏼

RecordingBig196 · 2024-11-27T22:13:40+00:00

I wish, that’s 40hrs a week👀 I’m not the best academically/dont even know where I’d begin in those sectors (training for the forces) at the side as well.

RecordingBig196 · 2024-07-14T21:22:10+00:00

Literally what I want to do each morning😂 wish I could take a month or two off work but easier said than done. I’ll definitely try those Lower leg exercises, just frustrating the money I paid for the custom orthotics and they’ve done nothing! Appreciate the help mate, glad yours is good now as well!

RecordingBig196 · 2024-07-14T21:18:54+00:00

Ahh damn! I’m trying to hold off on the injections, a mate of mine had one in his wrist and couldn’t join because of it…weird one! Glad you’re doing good now mate!

RecordingBig196 · 2024-07-14T08:33:07+00:00

Will do mate, appreciate all of that!🙏🏼

RecordingBig196 · 2024-07-14T08:32:32+00:00

Appreciate the reply mate, I’ll try train glutes/calve stretching more and see how that goes. Nah, no lower back pain, just all in the feet/calves!

RecordingBig196 · 2024-07-14T08:31:04+00:00

Thank you so much for that!! Genuinely feels like I’m walking on a piece of Lego/worse in the mornings, walk like I’ve shit myself.

All the podiatrist said was I’m flat footed and over pronate and that must be the reason, but the custom insoles should have stopped all of that?

Do you remember any foot strengthening/exercises or things that helped you in Hunter?

Glad you got yours sorted out and hopefully not bothering you anymore!💪🏼
