question - when i do deadlifts, i stop cos my strength fails, and i dont really get any sort of a burn at all. its literally because i just cant lift it up/my palms are cut to fuck.do you guys get a burn from deadlifting or is it the same as me?

im fucked straight after deadlifting, for a few minutes and then the same pain comes back the next day...
i use sailing gloves-would only b able to deadlift like 100 or so without gloves as it would slip.
try powerlifting grip aswell

very fucking pissed off. last week i did 22.5kg for 10 reps and was feeling a bit cocky and i figured why not give 27.5kg a go this week. couldnt even get one rep. i then tried 25kg (which i should have been able to get) and it was too heavy. then id to wait for ten mins for a guy to finish with the 22.5kg DBs, he took so long i decided fuck it ill just start with incline instead.
strength was up on that thankfully, so i tried 20kg DB press and barely got 5 followed by two sets of 1 rep each. my flye weight was down aswell.

think it could have been that i had taken no shotgun an hour beforehand (usually take it 15 mins beforehand) and it was firing on all cylinders making me really irritated and sweating and stuff.plus the gym was like a fucking sauna.no excuse but it proper threw me off.i decided not to bother trying biceps in the state i was in, so ill do them on monday.

strength was down with db press which pissed me off.
is 2 kg too much to add on everyweek??my logic is that if i can do9 reps of 18kg one week, surely i can do 6 reps of 20kg a week later?evidently not and its pissing me off cos my progress isnt as good as a result

jeff or venom, how much would you guys up the weight every week when your doing HIT?

also my shoulders were quiet sore after the lateral + front raises so i think ill leave them out like gymjohn advised a while ago. i find them really motivating though cos i can see all the grooves and stritations in my delts when i do them its savage!

i say eat more...there's no reason else some1 at 12 stone shudnt b able do do the 20's

i had 3 fucking chicken breasts yesterday!!!
and 2 the day before with steak!!its really frustating. still gona keep at it tho, might have just been on of those days

i had 4 chicken breasts 3 cans of tuna and 2 muscle milk shakes...on top of 700 gr carbs....i weigh 11 stone
-strength was up big time from that

respect for that shit dawg haha!getting a visit from the parents today so ill stock up for the next few weeks.
fucking hell tho, FOUR?!??

i like chicken

anyway i dont hav to fend for myself like u so i eat like a king every day.

just make sure ur gettin enough carbs in to fuel ur workouts-as u said-u should be able for the 20's

quirkster you are under eating! you really need to work on a diet plan, one that you will stick to!

thats pretty much what i meant-but thought u would take offence if i said ur diet is crap...so was kinda beatin around the bush

i mean 3 chicken breasts and a steak is only like 80/90 gr protein

no i had more - 35g in morning. 20g pre workout. 30 post workout. 35 pre bed (shakes)
i just meant from a substance point of view
