So this morning, the paeds confirmed that my boy has autism spectrum disorder. Should I go to the pub or just up my tren? Lol.

There is some really good help for autism etc over here we have dogs that were originally used for helping the blind but have now expanded into helping childeren with autism cope with day to day living etc you should check it out

thanks DC, thats a good idea. he definitely can do with a playmate.

[DCI]

No problem AD, its tough I know, relative has autism but is in his 20's and living a "normal" life, whatever normal is but don't dwell on it too much sometimes easier said than done.

Also, these dogs are specifically trained for people with autism etc I should have said that first.

Been a teacher for autistic kids for nearly 20 years. With the right supports in place at home and school, the sky's the limit. He'll be ok, my friend. And, so will you

Just curious..... Did you see any signs or have any concerns that made you bring him to the doc to be checked out or did the doc notice?

Learn about it and understand it as best you can.....

it's something we've suspected for a while now. very delayed speech development, behavioral issues like repeated movements or actions, rigid and stubborn over very specific things...

he has improved a lot over the past 1 yr after we started sending him to a special school, but having the diagnosis confirmed by the paeds still takes a while to get used to.



on the bright side, this may give me a bit more anger and aggression in the gym

Going to do back and traps in a wee while so i'll report back. On a side not what do you put in your rice big man ? plain rice must be a bit boring eh.

[hawk14dl]

Question for you guys. I do chest on Mondays, shoulders on Thursdays. Would it be ill advised to include some incline bench on shoulder days? Maybe at the end?

Why would you want to do that ? and if you smashed chest hard enough there is no need to do it again in the same wk.

[hawk14dl]

Just thinking because it works the shoulders and chest. Just a question, take it easy on the rookie

[Cuz]

The urge to compete is coming back

If you have trained your chest on Monday and your training it HIT style then you will have no need to train any part of its again on Thursday if you have done it properly. When you train make it count.

Going to attempt legs today. I haven't hit them since I tweaked my lower back (manual labor + HEAVY t-bars = overworked back). Might not be able to back squat, so I might be looking at V-squats, leg extensions and/or horizontal leg presses. I'll make it work, but I'm definitely having squat withdraws. Ugh.

[clarky.]

Ok did back & traps had a good warm up.

Wide grip lat pd 3 sets to fail + did some neg at the end

low pulley row close grip 4 sets to fail + DD

BB row 4 sets to fail *edit* iI did do them fine lol i just watched the master demonstrating them.

3 good warm up bb shrugs then 3 heavy sets to fail

just a quick Q on shrugs guys i tend to have my shoulders forward i don't mean this fvcking annoying to be honust is that bad ?. Should i keep my shoulder back so your chest sticks out a bit you know what i mean lol

[clarky.]

Don't be one of those who roll your shoulder when doing traps. Once they are contracted and you have full ROM your doing them fine and they will build. Drop set them right down until you cant lift your shoulders up to your ears

Jealous! I can't wait to get back to heavy deadlifting. It sucks too because I was doing so well. I was hitting 545 for reps on my way to a milestone 600.

For me, deadlifts are the best overall back thickness lift. Have fun brother.

Thats something i've never done big man is roll the shoulders.

I don't care about the weight I just want the look ya know. That real thick look like Marcus has

[DCI]

So shoulders tonight. Was a tough session coming to an end of a 6 week hit programme and feeling it now so next week is de load week and it's needed tbh.

But did:

Hammerstrength shoulder pressing 2x warm up into heavy set for two sets slow and heavy then double drop was broken only could squeeze a few reps from the drops.

Then bb plate shrugs x2 heavy sets

Arnie presses x2 heavy sets plus drop set

Then rear delts x2 sets

Then db shrugs shoulders were hopping

Then refeed home, 2 breasts of chicken 100g of peas with 250g white potatoe full here

You can kill legs without squats. Can't believe I just said that but it's true. I may edit this later.....

[kelkel]

Legs yesterday (late post)

Heavy extensions: 2 sets 15 reps or so each
Verticals: 1 set heavy with drop that I almost couldn't rack. Which is why I usually do straight sets here.....
Squats: Real heavy today. Threw on an extra 90lbs even after the above work. Got a good 8 then dropped the 90 for 6 more. Almost a nose bleed day.
Seated leg curls: 2 straight sets
Usual calf crap which resulted in a cramp that I'm just now getting over. Fvcker hurt.

[kelkel]

I just want the look ya know. That real thick look like Marcus has

That he surely has......

[Cuz]

That he surely has......

Years of unimaginable hard work and discipline...


I've dropped my test to 250. A week now. Wonder what's gonna happen.
I'm stronger than I've ever been on a side not however my left delt is beat to hell and torn up. Needs to hurry along and recover

I haven't been getting the quad development over the years like I've wanted. Everything else comes along from heavy lifting, but not the legs (or at least not like I want).

I've always trained them super heavy with 6-8 rep range. With this injury, now is as good of time as any to up the rep range to at least 12. See if they respond better to that.

My upper body loves that rep range. Maybe the ol' leggins want more.

Arg I'm stocked and scared to hit legs again but tonight I'm going in and gonna squat last on my regime. It's been like 3 weeks and that really put a impact on gym time since. Just haven't felt like lifting if I can't squat. (They are my weakest point, but also my favorite) good luck man

I like higher reps for leg work. Mine respond well to it. Just get your mind into it, squat last so they're fatigued and then less is more....
