Fblock, Week 7, Shoulders

A good shoulder session, felt very strong today even though I'd jabbed my delt and hour before.
Pushed it heavier with the pin press and managed it, very happy with that.

Honestly mate, I wish i had your mindset with it all. I'd be a much better person for it. I have to try to be calm through a good portion of my life. I'm investing a lot of time into therapy, books and all sorts of tools for my mental health to try to end up like that.

The catch with crypto is it is slightly addictive because you have to watch it all the time, but even then, 5 or 6hr can be the difference between making 50% and being down 5%. You could just forget about it for a few months but the odds then are you'll be up in some, down in others and still only have broken even. It's just frustrating. I had a month where one of my coins just did nothing at all for about 6 weeks so I got rid if it and bought something else, no word of a lie, that night it went up 80%. Thankfully I'd only had £50 worth, but if that pi55ed me off imagine how stressed I'd be if I'd had £1k worth!!

I lobbed £20 quid on a crypto years ago with the mindset of giving it a few years, letting crypto boom and coming back to it. Logged in after 6 months and i was £2 down, the day before I'd have had a profit of 500%. Frustrating. Ended up catching it at a 200% profit and lobbed it all on Bitcoin, banking on that steady climb.
One of my mates had huge success from crypto though, he put a grand into bitcoin before it was well know, ended up making enough to buy himself an aston martin, a house and never have to work again with the right investing. He really is a lovely bloke that had plenty of hard times so its well deserved

Another great session, my chest seems to just lose all strength out of nowhere once I get to the Pin Press, so at least I know it's working hard. Left feeling absolutely massive, seeing some great tricep growth recently.

Tbh fellas, she is lovely, she really is a great person just unwilling to work on her traumas and the behaviours from them can be extreme. I used to be all sorts of messed up and put years of work into myself so I could raise kids without those traumas **** any kids up that i may have. So I'm unwilling to have someone else do that to them. It's a shame because she really has made my life better and taught me lots, opened my eyes to many new things in life. I'm at a point where i will happily move on, opening the door for better things.

Thank you fellas, I am enjoying my shape currently, I'm very much looking forward to how I'm going to look when I'm leaner.

Honestly fellas, I think the break up is what best for both of us. It's just going to land me in a tricky situation regarding housing, unless I get lucky. I don't want to end up in a house share, and job hunting is a ballache, been looking for 4 months, no one wants to hire a 32 year old student with a violent criminal record it seems. Although on paper I seem like a catch
It very much feels like a past life is trying to weigh me down, but I'm gunna keep moving and getting on with it.

Not that you can ever diagnose via internet but what’s up with the knee? Symptoms?

Its an ongoing issue for the last couple of years.
I used to do olympic weightlifting, so high intensity and frequency on squats, and also trained and completed the national three peaks. During that my knee started acting up and I pushed through to get the 3ps done and out of of the way.

The symtoms are:
A lack of strength from the bottom of the squat, i went from squatting 170kg one week to getting stuck under an empty bar the next week. Can't move any weight from the bottom of a squat. But no loss of power from quads/hammies/glutes in any isolated movements.
Been through plenty of ideas what it could be glutes/hips/quads/hammies, the current theory is that its one of the tendons behind my knee thats the problem.

Looks like Training is going well dude!
What you weighing in at? What sorta condition you in/aiming for?
