Raising The Bar

Hope it all turns out OK, CCR!
Don't you have internet access at your house?
 
Hey, I'm not fired :D
I've just had some brown nosing little yes man installed above me to undermine my authority :mad:

It might just be a ploy to get me to resign to avoid a hefty redundancy pay-off

Karky - No internet access at home I'm afraid, I work with bastard computers all day, the last thing I want is one in my house :)

Lol, a brown noser is someone who gets a brown nose from licking his superiors arse all day. And by saying 'installed above me' I just mean that although my official position is the same there is another layer of management above me which de-values my authority
 
I know what a brown noser is, it was just the installed above me and undermining I didn't quite get :p thanks for clearing up.

why do they have it in for you, anyways? Date someone's sister lately?

Lol, I wish

It's just a new management team with new ways of doing things. I'm an old fashioned, straight talking type and that doesn't always go down well these days. They'd probably rather I walked because firing someone isn't all that easy and would involve them needing to offer me a redundancy pay off.

Right now I'm thinking that if I wait until my Feb bonus and then be a pain in the arse so they get rid of me I'll get a juicy pay-off and then get a new job :cool:
 
can't getting fired for being an ass have consequences? I know in Norway you won't get a good letter of recommendation if you're an ass.. and employers have a habbit of calling eacother before hireing..

and I'm on 4500 posts! Wohoo! :D

It's against the law for an employer to say anything bad about you. You least they're allowed to do is privode a simple, yes, they worked here and now they don't.

However, if you're bright enough it's easy to get fired in a more honorable way. I'll simply position all my aims for the department in direct conflict with the corporate vision and then they'll let me go on the basis that we're no longer compatible

Oh, and I'll point out that synergy isn't even a proper word and they'll want to kick out the heretic asap! :D
 
I've had to create this ID because I can't access the forums today.

I asked one of the site admin team to update my ID to allow me to change my user title, which they did, but that's now just about the only thing I can do!

Either that or I pushed it a little too far with a post and got suspended ;)

Hopefully I'll be up and running again a little later
 
ME Pull day today

Deads
3x308
3x3@ 330
2x3@ 308

My grip is the weak point here, I'll need to find a way of working on that because it's holding me back on deads and pull ups

Pull Ups
2x3 @ BW
2x3 @ BW (chin ups)
2x3 @ 10kg assisted

BB Bent over rows
5x3 @ 154
6x 154

The squat rack was being used for 40 minutes by one guy so I had to use a lower weight than usual for GM's and press the bar up and back over my shoulders.

GM's
2x15 @ 99lbs

Reverse lunges still hurt so I did 2 sets of 15 bicep curls instead. My HR pull day has shown me that my biceps are my weak link with pulling so I'm going to up my work on them for a couple of months

I sent a note to the admin asking him to fix this for you.
 
It's still not right but I only seems to be a problem when I lift close to my 1rm. I only really felt it during the GM's today, not at all during the deads
 
Hey, I'm back!!!

Not for long though as I've got tomorrow off. Next week should be great in the gym, it's started getting quiet in there already

I'm gonna give handstand presses a go on Saturday, maybe that'll help my MP
 
Not looking forward to the resolution folks come either.. unfortunately, my GF will be one of them (to another gym than I go to though) :p
 
I'm back people, glad to see so many of you noticed I was gone :yelrotflmao:

I had the fever from hell for 4 days but I'm feeling a lot better now. I'm going to get myself weighed today but I know I've lost a lot of weight, all my clothes are baggy and even my girlfriend said I looked thinner. The problem was all 3 of us (My girlfriend, daughter and I) had 40 degree temperatures and colds so we were all on the sofa feeling sorry for ourselves and not eating much
 
I was like that nearly 2 weeks ago now, i had it for a week, i felt weaker getting back to the gym aswell as i didnt eat much! You dont do that much exercises in your workout do you CCR, is there a reason for this? Are your workouts near the 1 hour mark?

My training never lasts longer than 35 minutes, that's due to me having to use my lunch break to go to the gym. I don't really think that sessions longer than about 45 minutes are of anymore use though as if you've given 100% to your compounds for that length of time then you should be a dropping point
