A man with a simple workout plan, with ambitious but reasonable goals, looking ahead over a period of 12 months. This is very, very unusual in the fitness world. Good luck, mate.

good luck with this I'm sure you will do it. So much so I think you will be redoing your training plan after a few months as you get stronger

Do you use a special type of toilet paper?

Nice

I went back on fluoxetine last year as once upon a time it worked. It made me worse, with extreme anxiety and suicidal thoughts. By luck I wasn't able to take them for a few days last month and I actually felt better. Stopped altogether and haven't had a return of anxiety.

I remember when they put buttons on things too, what a treat to find some in 2024 xD Great vid, cheers x

Train untamed!!!!!

Good luck! Reminds me of Milo of Croton… I appreciate you’re not asking for advice, and you’ve done your homework! But I suspect you’re not spending enough time under tension to provide a good level of muscular stimulation - and as you get older, trying to do it all with heavy dynamic movements is something of a risk to your joints, your back etc. When you involve momentum, you can lift more but you’re loading your muscles less. I think you’d be more likely to improve quicker if you took your strict press to failure within around 90 seconds, say 2x a week, then practiced your cleans on 1x other day. Honestly, I don’t think you will manage this. At my strongest I would deadlift 160kg (not that great, sure), I now finish workouts with 110kg x10 DLs but would never think about that weight for clean and press. Years of lifting got me approaching a 70kg shoulder press but shoulders are easy to injure and not really designed to lift big like the back squat or DL. But ballsy to try.

'Anatomy of an Epidemic' and 'Crazy Like Us' are eye-opening books

3:03 you’re right, pro-wrestlers tend to die young. Steroids definitely are a factor, but you have to appreciate, pros take absurd levels of the stuff. TRT is becoming quite popular now. More or so in the U.S., but clinics are starting to pop up in the U.K. Anyway, fair play to you for challenging yourself. I hope it goes well.

I find it hilarious how you managed to get your hands on issue Navy foul weather kit before its rolled out to the majority of the navy. Only the special people get it for now

I would start out with lighter weights and add a few pounds every week and lift to failure were you cant do one more rep. over time you should be able to keep adding wirht till you reach your goal without injury.

Great goal, I hope you succeed. As a young guy I had a very demanding job. Lifting heavy materials . but I was very small. I was very strong for my weight. As I got older now 61, I am still fairly strong, due to construction job, but not nearly as strong. as I use to be. Age just takes its toll on your body no matter how much you work out.

Thank you for sharing your own views. In about 2-3 days i will tell my mother that i am depressed while out on a walk. I have learned that this first step of telling someone close to you is crucial. I am just 20 years old and there is alot of life ahead of me. I am not self diagnosing myself with depression, i simply have held all symptoms for a long time now, they unfortunately get worse overtime. It will take me alot of courage to say everything on my mind but im sure it will make me feel much better. Cheers to your cure of depression. I am positive that i will be another person that gets to live normally in the near future.

First of all... Wrong approach 😂 What you really need to do: Get dumbells and plates and a bench. Train arnolds, train all shoulder muscles and train pushing power with bench presses. THATS whats kicks your shoulderpress to. I improved from a single 22.5 kg press (overhead, dumbell, right arm) to 30kg in 2 month. Also, try to rack the bar somewhere and start your sets without pulling the bar from the ground (thats always 1 punch to the wrists). Train the same exercise just get you to a certain point. Train the muscle groups involved with other stuff gets you further. Also train your lower back and core for mor stability or you will slip a disc sooner or later.

Thought I'd mention how much I've loved the journey of this series 🫡🫡

You got this man. Regardless if you meet your specific goal or not, this is NOT a waste of time. Although weight lifting is like bashing your head in a concrete wall until eventually your head makes it through. It's just mental strength and patience. And btw, keep in mind, all if those wrestlers you named partied HARD as well, along with the steroids. Wrestling was hard living back then. They redlined to death. Not that anyone should take steroids, just pointing out it's not as simple as you put it

First of all, great start, and a very worthwhile and achievable goal! I would recommend adding in some shoulder mobility work, probably on a rest day. If you look at your form in the video, with lighter weights you move the bar forward to compensate, as the bar gets heavier it has to be more over where your feet make contact with the floor, to stop you tipping forward. This is why on the last lift the hips move forward to compensate for the shoulder angle, pulling your heels off the floor. To safely lift much heavier weight you will need to get your shoulders open, heels down, and your hips under the bar. Shoulder mobility work shouldn't be too strenuous, so would fit well on a rest day, and might help with soreness. Joint mobility work can be much slower than strength gaining, so the work on it from the beginning to avoid hitting a long plateau down the line.

Why not just sand blast it.

A really useful video, thank you. I live abroad at the moment but am thinking about returning to the UK and your point about getting on with it is well taken.

BIG 👍Max. That sun set n sun rise, said it all. 😉

Great entertainment and nice little adventure.

That was great Max! You know we all love your videos because of you - camera/audio quality is not as important as watching you do interesting things. Looking forward to the big adventure.

For your age and history of health problems and being untrained for so long, you're naturally very strong. You'll eat this challenge up in no time.

Good job young feller.

Re-viewing this, I reckon you could reconfigure an old three point linkage attachment with a simple welded plate arrangment to mound and pack the potato mounds. I'm happy to draw something up if you find a cheap donor. Cheers

The technical dramas didnt detract from the adventure Max. Wild garlic can be had in droves around Bristol. We used to make a wild garlic pesto & bacon pasta. Lovely stuff.

Nice little video. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺

Excellent adventure Max :)

Great stuff,if we see you with a broken nose, I’ll take something went wrong with the rings 😮😢😂😂

Looking a bit sloppy for the walk

Absolutely. It took me a year to become stronger than I ever have at 50 naturally. Do it.

Love this one Max. No issues with sound and video. BTW Kaboto noodles are lush

We're overrun with wild garlic in Derbyshire, but no vampires.

Keep smashing it 💪🏻
