 I am Corrode, of House Corrode. Backstory I was in a lovely unhealthy relationship and ate like poo poo and did nothing but paint Warhammer and drink cider. At my heaviest I was 14st 10lb (206lb) and every last bit of it was fat. Because I'm a skinny motherfucker it all sat on my belly and I looked like that transgender pregnant guy. The relationship ended and I decided to stop being a sad sack and lift some and eat better and lost about 2st over summer 2011, although I still couldn't run worth poo poo and was lifting the babbiest of weights. At the start of 2012 I was at my lightest at 12st 6lb (174lbs), then I injured my back and didn't do much but some yoga for 2 months. Finally as of about June 2012 I started consistently lifting 3 times a week and running a couple of times a week as well. Here's how things stand now: Gender: Male Age: 23 Height: 6'2" Weight: 13st 0lb (182lbs or 82.5kg) Lifts and runs etc.: Deadlift: 125kg 5RM (135kg 1RM) Squat: 120kg 5RM Bench: 60kg 5RM Running: 5k in 24:00, 10k in 50:31. Fitocracy I lift in kgs and weigh myself in every system under the sun because  Goals  ed on all of these:2. Complete the Spartan Sprint on August 28th - Ticket bought! Pasty Goonflesh June 2011, not quite my worst but the worst there's photo evidence of:  Front as of February 5th 2013 (L) and March 31st 2013 (R):   Back as of February 5th 2013 (L) and March 31st 2013 (R):   I am the hardest hardgainer in the loving world. Also I have this which is why my chest looks so weird and my bench is terribad. Corrode fucked around with this message at May 6, 2013 around 08:41 |

AW hell yussss!!! Words cannot describe how happy I am you started a log, and how excited I am that I can finally reciprocate all the kind support. I think that you gave yourself the perfect timeframe to train for a 10K... and really your back muscles already look great! sorry about the lovely relationship stuff  You know, this is definitely the place to motivate you to get healthy and fitness-related goals will give you so much amazing discipline and confidence everything will turn around  SO. What's your plan to train for the 10K?

Thanks swyss! I appreciate it  In fairness I'm pretty well over the whole relationship thing (it was 2 years ago now, you'd bloody hope so really!) but it's the basis for everything I've done since then so it's a good starting point for 'why I decided to stop sitting on my rear end.' I'm definitely looking forwards to logging and having clearer goals than just 'lift heavier stuff and run further faster.' Plan is probably too strong a word for what I'm intending - I've already run the distance a bunch of times so I know I can do it, and I'm running with my old man so pace isn't hugely important. The likelihood is I'll just run lots and ride the newbie gains wave. Lifted some stuff today. Had to cut it a bit short because my shoulder was protesting like the little bitch it is. Was happy to deadlift 120kg x 5 again, and I managed to pull the first 3 at 110kg with regular grip instead of mixed. Front squat and row PRs, too. Front Barbell Squat: - 50 kg x 5 reps - 50 kg x 5 reps - 75 kg x 5 reps - 75 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps Bent Over Barbell Row: - 60 kg x 5 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps - 75 kg x 5 reps - 75 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps Barbell Deadlift: - 60 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps - 100 kg x 5 reps - 110 kg x 5 reps - 120 kg x 5 reps Barbell Bench Press: - 40 kg x 10 reps - 40 kg x 10 reps - 45 kg x 10 reps - 45 kg x 10 reps - 45 kg x 10 reps fito2sa Today I'm off to see England v. Brazil at Wembley. Two full strength sides which is pretty exciting!

Oh hooray hooray! I came back and you have a log! This is wonderful news to me. I also apologize for assuming you were a lady when you posted in my log, I'm not sure why I thought that... Although you paid me back by FORCING me to click that link of the sunken in chest thing. Your chest does not look like that to me, but I am sure that there is a medical explanation that I'm missing because I'm too wimpy to go back to the wikipedia page. I hope you had a great time at the match! I will be following your progress, you've made SO much already, and I'm so excited that I can try to be a bit of a cheerleader for the person who really has made such a difference in my life.

Cheers NCP I'm just glad it's had such a positive effect for you, keep doing what you're doing! I think the thing on Wiki is pretty severe, but that's what my GP said was up when I asked him about it so that's what I've gone with. It doesn't really bother me these days except the annoyance of knowing that whatever work I do there's something I can't really change.  The match was great, typical England international so no atmosphere to speak of but we were sat way, way up which was cool, great view of the game, and when England scored the place exploded.  My brother and I outside of Wembley:  Shockingly, no one ever thinks we're related. Tomorrow there will be lifting and maybe ~a girl~ coming over and on either Saturday or Sunday I'll go run a 10k because I haven't done for a couple weeks. Next week I'm going to start running in the week again because I've been much too lazy about that recently. e: Oh I also got accepted to go do the GDL so I can get into law in a few months and escape this sales job. Yay.

I've been doing a set of 60kg x 30 squats on Friday but decided to try a different kind of volume yesterday. Now my quads ache like motherfuckers. Think I'm going to reset OHP down some because despite it being laughable I've been stalled out at 45kg forever. Dropped girl home this morning. Running is definitely tomorrow because today is Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Murdered Legs. Also watching Die Hard all day at my buddy's house.

You just set out for a run and it's like "hmm, I feel really good today. Maybe I'll just keep going for awhile..." and then suddenly it's 2 hours later and you've almost run a half marathon. It really is great, before I started I was thinking I might pussy out and just do the 5k. I got to running and felt good and settled on the 10 and then I figured gently caress if I'd just keep going in one direction for an hour and then turn around. I'm happy with the result although also a little frustrated - I run on the Bristol & Bath railway path (which is a really nice place to run incidentally!) and I didn't really have a clear idea of the distances involved. I stopped Runkeeper at the time/distance above but left Zombies, Run! on and walked the remainder of the path back to my car because lol item whoring. When I checked ZR! at the end it said I'd covered 21.17km overall or just about bang on half marathon distance. If I'd realised that I'd have willed myself to run the last 1500 metres

I was literally too lazy to gently caress about with little plates (even though I was going to use them straight afterwards to row with). Gains through apathy. Followed this up by pulling all 5 110kg reps on the DL with overhand grip which I was super pleased with, figured I was on a roll and tried to up the weight to 125kg and managed a mighty, uh, 1 rep. Can't win 'em all. Happy with everything else. Pretty straightforward day at the office really. Tomorrow running, Friday lifting, Saturday rest, Sunday running - probably 5k tomorrow and 10 on the weekend.

Thanks guys Kind words appreciated! Did not stick to the plan at all. Didn't run Thursday, lifted Friday, ran Saturday. Friday: Barbell Squat: - 60 kg x 10 reps - 80 kg x 10 reps - 100 kg x 10 reps - 120 kg x 2 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps EZ-Bar Curl: - 20 kg x 15 reps - 20 kg x 15 reps - 20 kg x 15 reps - 20 kg x 15 reps - 20 kg x 15 reps - 20 kg x 15 reps - 20 kg x 15 reps Barbell Bench Press: - 40 kg x 5 reps - 40 kg x 5 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP): - 30 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps fito2sa Had to bail the 120kg which was a terrifying experience, not least for the chair behind me since I dropped the bar through it. I think I'm going to deload them for a while because I'm not convinced that I haven't been cheating my way up - back down to 100kg where I know I hit full depth consistently. Otherwise pretty ok, OHP felt/was easy and I managed 3x5 of the 60kg bench. Running: - 0:25:42.1 || 5 km || 5:05.5 min/km || flat fito2sa Went all out after work on Saturday. Annoying not to hit at or under 5min/km although this is still the fastest I've run in a while. Continuing with derailing the plan, I'm going to skip running today because my right instep hurts for some weird loving reason (swyss you might know?) and will miss lifting tomorrow because work randomly scheduled 2 extra hours early in the day for 'training' (on something we can already do, natch). The joy of temporary employment means I can't really tell them to gently caress off. I've actually been thinking recently about what to do since both my diet and lifting recently have been mostly good but a bit do whatever and I've definitely been eating a lot of shite on the basis of 'I am skinny and must eat more therefore this chocolate cake/WispaohgodIlovewispa/random other sugary thing is fine.' I've been considering controlling it a bit better and aiming for something in recomp range (so I have less capacity to make excuses for myself) and picking up Alfalfa's hardgainer programme (which I could neatly do 2x this week and then 3x in future, and which have less squatting which would mean I might actually run on non-knackered legs for once). Would need to figure out something to do about pull-ups since I can't, uh, do them, and the ab stuff since my garage is lacking in cables to pull. e: I say this after demolishing a whole bag of Mini Eggs instead of y'know, getting out of bed and eating an actual meal.

My only advice on diet thing is change indulgence from "eat lovely sugary thing" to "Eat delicious healthy thing" like steak, high quality fish, fruits, vegetables. Yeah it's going to cost more money flat out full stop sorry. I found reading up on the health benefits of foods (http://www.whfoods.com/foodstoc.php is a good place to start) and trying to get excited about eating stuff on that list because of its health benefits works for me. I.e. not focusing solely on taste although that stuff does taste good but I'm not going to lie. Nobody has spent millions of dollars engineering celery or whatever to make it irresistible like they do modern crisps and cookies.

In my own defence my basic subsistence eating is pretty good and my snacking is much better than it used to be, too - after reading your log I've ripped off your apple thing wholesale and I buy grapes weekly too, although I should have checked them more thoroughly this time around because the ones I bought were disgusting and I had to bin them. The problem has been since I got my current job and suddenly had vending machines full of sugary poo poo sat around and started using that to deal with having a bad day. I'm going to take a very simple approach to dealing with it which is to not carry cash on work days; I don't keep trash in the house unless someone else buys it for me (which is rare enough that I can deal with it as an occasional treat) and I can't buy anything on-site on a card. Do need to learn to treat myself meal-wise to alleviate boredom although I just committed to dropping a wedge on a tattoo so maybe not this week! e: That whfoods link is pretty pro-click, I think it's time to expand my eating options a little. Moving away from eating I read What I Talk About When I Talk About Running which was very pleasant. I'm not sure if I learnt anything from it like I did from Born to Run but it did instil me with a bunch of positive feelings about running and that's a good enough take away for me. I had a nice comment at work recently - one of the guys at work was talking about the Oscar Pistorius thing in the news and said 'Y'know, the guy with the blades - I mean of course you know about him, you're a runner.' As well as that the girl I was sort of seeing recently has gotten inspired to sort her own stuff out after getting to know me which is awesome. She wants to run the Olympus marathon next year and wants me to go with her which I'm super up for. Basically I should stop being so loving negative because actually things are going pretty well.

That's awesome you love apples as well  . Yes, vending machines are The Devil. I experimented with having some of the lower calorie snack things out of them the other week and fuuuuck that noise. It just makes me want more of the same and meh. The thing i've done for work snacks is pretty predictable -- I stock my work fridge with apples, bananas, carrots, & oranges or whatever to make sure I always have some treats available if I get hungry. I'm glad you enjoy the whfoods link, I too use it when I get stuck in a rut to try out new vegetables and such. It's gotten me to eat a TON of veggies I wouldn't otherwise have tried and to really get my mind focused on health benefits of food/nutrition benefits of food instead of "Eating what tastes good." Also that book is great, I got it from DanTheMan for christmas and it is what made me think of running as a lifetime pursuit not a one time thing. Corrode posted:

Aww thanks NCP! I have every faith in you, and I'll admit that I borrowed your write-down-positive-things technique the other day and it cheered me right up This week I've not been a runner or even much of a mover - I'm giving my foot time to rest and fix whatever is wrong with it. It's been frustrating because my friend has gotten into all this in a big way and wants to do a bunch of races and it's getting me excited too, and I really want to run and can't. This is forever and missing a week won't kill me, etc. I'm provisionally aiming for an easy 10k with her on Sunday just to get me out and to see how far she can go. I did lift stuff today though, as planned: Front Barbell Squat: - 60 kg x 5 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps Barbell Bench Press: - 40 kg x 10 reps - 60 kg x 6 reps - 60 kg x 6 reps - 60 kg x 4 reps Barbell Incline Bench Press: - 20 kg x 12 reps - 30 kg x 12 reps - 40 kg x 12 reps - 40 kg x 12 reps Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP): - 30 kg x 6 reps - 35 kg x 7 reps - 35 kg x 7 reps - 35 kg x 7 reps Lying Barbell Triceps Extension ("Skullcrusher"): - 2.5 kg x 10 reps - 5 kg x 10 reps - 5 kg x 10 reps - 5 kg x 10 reps fito2sa I immediately broke Alfalfa's first rule by front squatting, but it was already racked and ready to go and I like them and the garage was freezing so whatever. I liked this a lot, and I'm considering sticking with the 2-day plan on Mondays and Fridays and using Wednesday as a do-whatever day - squeeze in an extra run or a fuckabout day or something. Incline bench I'd never done before so involved a little bit of range-finding and I have no idea how heavy skullcrushers are supposed to be but for a first go I went light. Have been eating better after leaving the cash at home.

This will not be a monster run in any way; I'm going easy on my feet and my friend is coming out for her first 10k so we'll be going at whatever pace she can manage. Lifted stuff y/day: Chin-Up: - 3 reps - 3 reps - 3 reps Yates Row: - 60 kg x 8 reps - 70 kg x 8 reps - 70 kg x 8 reps - 70 kg x 8 reps EZ-Bar Curl: - 20 kg x 10 reps - 20 kg x 10 reps - 27.5 kg x 10 reps - 27.5 kg x 10 reps Barbell Squat: - 60 kg x 10 reps - 100 kg x 10 reps - 100 kg x 10 reps Barbell Deadlift: - 60 kg x 10 reps - 60 kg x 10 reps - 90 kg x 10 reps - 120 kg x 1 reps fito2sa Chins instead of pull-ups because I can actually do chins. Hopefully I can transition at some point. The extra deadlift single was just meant to be a stepping stone up to attempting my toxx, since the girl was here and could hold a camera - sadly blasting my legs with squats and then trying a max deadlift apparently isn't a thing, who knew! Not sure about Yates rows - I can't really tell what I was getting out of them, but they're a new thing and I'll try them again and see how it goes. Guys I figured out how I injured my foot and it's really embarrassing and pathetic. Basically I wasn't lacing the shoes tight enough (or more likely they came loose somewhere along the long run the other week) and since my right knee tends to get sore over distance I was favouring it and coming down on the inside of my foot. I wore my trainers yesterday and felt it almost immediately as A Thing I was doing, tightened them up and spent a few minutes concentrating on correcting my footfall and like magic the issue's fixed. I am so dumb sometimes.

Not dumb! You figured it out, that's awesome. I'm so glad that you're feeling all better, and that it was a quick fix. Much better than a for reals injury that would have kept you out of commission for a long while! Great workout, too!

See I imagine that happening in one go, 4 of them catapulting off as you crank the laces tight in a hurry.

That would imply I wasn't an idiot. It in fact took months and I didn't even figure it out, was a coworker who was like stop lacing your goddamn shoes so tight. However, now they are gone for like forever and I have rad gross black toenail nubbed runners feet

I went outside and ran around a bit Running: - 0:56:33.5 || 10.1 km || 5:34.9 min/km || flat - http://runkeeper.com/user/Corrode/activity/151818860 fito2sa Did this on my own in the end because woman was otherwise occupied. Which was probably for the best, because she thinks I'm some kind of amazing athlete (lol) and right around the 2km mark I had the sharpest most crippling stitch and had to stop and suck in air like I was a fat kid in the first act of a heartwarming American high school movie. I literally haven't gotten a stitch since I did my first proper adult run last July so I have no idea what the gently caress was going on but I breathed, walked, then picked up running again. Miraculously I managed to pull back a 5:35/km pace from the dark precipice of 5:48, which was reassuring. My foot hurt, but in the 'I am a recovering injury and still tender, please take care of me' way that I can deal with and not the 'I HATE YOU STOP RUNNING MORON' way that says it's on the way to being reinjured.

I think it's at the stage now where I can HTFU through it without risk of reinjuring myself more seriously as long as I stay conscious of it, so that's good.adaz posted:Yeah don't feel bad I lost 4 toenails because I was lacing my shoes too tight.

Welcome to Corrode's magical disappearing strength show Barbell Bench Press: - 40 kg x 10 reps - 60 kg x 6 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps Barbell Incline Bench Press: - 30 kg x 12 reps - 45 kg x 10 reps - 45 kg x 7 reps - 40 kg x 10 reps Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP): - 30 kg x 9 reps - 35 kg x 6 reps - 35 kg x 5 reps - 35 kg x 6 reps Lying Barbell Triceps Extension ("Skullcrusher"): - 2.5 kg x 10 reps - 5 kg x 10 reps - 5 kg x 12 reps - 5 kg x 12 reps Front Barbell Squat: - 60 kg x 5 reps - 60 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps - 80 kg x 5 reps fito2sa The set of 7 and then 10 on incline bench is just because I felt I should really complete a set of 10 even if I had to bring the weight down. I think next week I'll sit in the middle at 42.5, jumping straight up by 5kg was probably too much. Bench was the same number of total reps but split differently because 6 just did not want to go up and OHP I just don't know what the hell. Even front squats felt hard and lovely.

Running: - 0:24:57.8 || 5 km || 4:59.2 min/km || flat - http://runkeeper.com/user/Corrode/activity/152346700 fito2sa look look look Snuck this one in under 25mins just to prove I could do it. I would have given myself an extra couple of seconds if I hadn't slowed down at the top of the hill at the end thinking that was 5k when actually it was 4.95; cue sprinting like a mad thing to slip under the 25min mark. I would have done myself a favour by not going quite as hard at the start (my initial pace was 4:33/km which is definitely not sustainable for me). I find this song to be really good for pacing for some reason so I dunno why I didn't use it to begin with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEVJFSUjvNo Now to go soak in a bath quickly before work.
