MF's Bodybuilding and Physique Log

I take a poop once or twice daily it always stretches it out.

I think you are thinking of something else lol ?!

 

[Superman]

No, the squatting motion loosens my IT bands right up. Just thought I'd share.

Great SM, thanks for your wonderful insights there haha.

Haven't been updating much in here (on here in general) because we're getting our house ready to move out for 4 weeks. We're finally getting our earthquake damage fixed, so we pretty much have to clear the contents of it so it's ready for painting.

I'm still training but just don't have the time right now to update as I normally do. Hopefully by next week we should be settled in at the new place and I'll be a little less stressed !! MF

Well I have been stretching out my ITB all week and it's heaps better, when I've been at the gym I've also spent a good 5mins foam rolling it as well. Feels heaps better.

Tried DL's this morning and managed to put some weight on the bar for reps with minimal pain, that's a HUGE improvement from last week where I couldn't even pull 132lb! Will write up this mornings session shortly.

Took Sunday off training as we spent all of the day shifting out of our house to get earthquake repairs done. So we now have a month staying at the in-laws rental property. It's not too bad, an older house but it has all the mod cons like Sky, broadband etc.

They've done a good job bringing it up to date, we're pretty lucky to have it available to us.

Anyhow, looking forward to hitting the gym tonight. Will bench and probably some OHP's as well, want to squat but legs are a little sore from the deadlifts so I'll leave them until tomorrow.

Hey bud. Hope you are doing well. I am back at it, having recovered from surgery and a week long vacation!

 

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

Thanks WW, good to hear you are recovering in style!

Will check in on your journal soon, I have been a bit slack in keeping up with everyone lately.

Haven't trained much this week, have had a few things on my mind. Just in talks to buy this health store, down to the negotiating part right now. Fingers crossed it should be ours in the next month and takeover 1st October. Exciting stuff !! :ranger:

 

[Turbolag]

Nice man.

What kind of products do they sell ?

Nice man.

Pretty much everything ~ herbs, vitamins, sports supps, skincare/makeup, weight loss and so on.

Also has a couple of decent back rooms so there's the potential to use them for things such as massage, herbalist/naturopath etc.
