Thanks. I mean I’m expecting the night to be full of prank calls but not too bothered. The only thing that irks me is that I know who it is and this is not a kid. This is a grown man… How far our species has fallen that grown men hide behind technology to harass someone 
Thanks for the kind words!
If you can, try to avoid reacting to this at all, especially since you know who it is. Your reaction feeds the trolls, which is exactly what they want . . .
I own my own business too (in a different field), and I don’t think there’s a single business owner out there who doesn’t get spoofed at some point. In your case, it’s more vindictive than the usual phishing scams, but it’s still important not to react to the person initiating it, if you can possibly avoid it.
Just my experience . . .
Oh yeah I am keeping my cool (just because any public negative response by me can make me look bad) just blocking and reporting the accounts. Interesting enough regarding the bold, he has blocked me from seeing the fake profile of me and I only know about it due to a friend seeing it. So he does not seem to want a reaction
But things have appeared to have calmed down and from what I can find he has removed his posts on his profile which slander me, the spam emails have stopped and the fake profile of me is being monitored and not posting anything. So I am going to hope it’s over.
BUT I MUST SAY after finding out this person’s full name, street where he lives and details on his parents I was very tempted to drive to his part of the country and show this 28 year old man that the real world has consequences.
First of all, I’m glad that things have calmed down. Let’s hope you’re right and it’s over.
In terms of the above, I understand that it’s your frustration talking.
The beautiful thing is that you wouldn’t need to do anything anyway. This guy has to wake up as himself every morning. Think about that for a moment . . .
Life will catch up with him sooner or later. For the sake of his future, let’s hope it’s in constructive ways that he can learn from and turn things around in positive, productive ways.

NOTES
So benching today went MEH. Maybe a bad day but not managing an extra rep on the MR set hardly instils confidence on getting 5x10 in a few days.
Except that everything felt good. The mind-muscle connection on the incline seal rows is insane so I am keeping that as a go to for back work from now on.
A drama update on the issues yesterday. It continued and got worse all day that I finally had enough after racial comments were posted below images of my young family member (KIDS).
I walked into my local police station gave them all the details including his details (Explained how I got everything) and upright told them that they needed to get this to stop before it escalates because this guy thinks he is hiding behind a screen but he is not really hidden. A somewhat funny part of being at the police station is when I gave my address ( which is a somewhat rough part of London) and the officer responded “Oh yeah I see what you mean. People have been shot for less in your neighbourhood”.
Lower body day 2 (and oh god was it a good one)
Deadlifts: 3x10 with 115kg/253lbs, 1x10 with 132.5kg/292lbs (Rep PR + 10RM PB), 1x10 with 100kg/220lbs (Just a back off set) and 1x1 with 160kg/353lbs (PB)
SSB Squats: 4x10 with 97.5kg/215lbs + 1x10 with 105kg/231lbs (Instead of MR Set and also a 5kg/11lb rep PR) + 1x1 with 120kg/264lbs and 1x1 with 130kg/287lbs (PB but questionable depth)
SSB Alternating Lunges: 4x5 each leg with 55kg/121lbs
RDL: 3x5 with 85kg/187lbs
Hip thrusts: 4x5 with 100kg/220lbs
3x3 Box jumps
NOTES
So today was a good day. Went off plan with the main 2 lifts but just because I felt I had more in me and wanted to push myself. Got a clean PB for deadlift with the single at 160kg/ 353lbs to make up for going for the easy PB last week. Could I go maybe 2.5kg/5lbs higher? Likely considering the bar speed + the fact it was done after setting a 10 rep PB 
Speaking of the 132.5kg/292lbs set, the most I got with that weight previously was 9 reps and that was going to failure max reps so today is only a 1 rep PB. But damn it that last rep did not come easy… The rep was clean, no hitching, no drop in the bar, I did not feel excess rounding but my left leg was trembling at lock out.
Also happy with SSB squatting even if the single might have been questionable depth. Even if that lift did not count… I added 5kg/11lbs to my top 10 rep record so
Now to celebrate the only way worthy of such a day… with a plate full of delicious meat
hold my (insert beverage)
Congratulations! I think you needed this, in light of recent events! Enjoy it shamelessly! 
Bench work (to reduce work load for Monday)
Bench: 5x10 60kg/132lbs + 1x1 with 70kg/154lbs, 1x1 with 77.5kg/171lbs + 1x18 with 45kg/99lbs (So close yet so far from a full widowmaker set)
Inc bench: 1x15 with 35kg/77lbs, 1x5 with 50kg/110lbs and 1x3 with 55kg/121lbs
Not much to say just went in to reduce tomorrows work load and also just to be active.
This rings true unless I get stronger and adapt but I feel like the next weight up I will manage to get it for 5x8 but not all 5x10 sets. (Then again I might never attempt it due to the change in schedule and potential change in programming)
Full Body Day
Deadlifts: 5x10 with 120kg/264lbs + 1x1 with 140kg/309lbs + 1x1 with 162.5kg/358lbs (Need to stop going for new PRs but )
Squats: 1x3 with 107.5/237lbs and 1x3 with 115kg/253lbs, 1x3 with 120kg/264lbs, 1x3 with 125kg/275lbs and 1x2 with 130kg/287lbs (rep pr)
Rows: 5x10 with 60kg/ 132lbs
CGBP: 40kg/88lbs x15, 50kg/110lbs x9 and 60kg/132lbs x5
DB shoulder press: 1x10 with 17.5kg/38kbs and 2x10 with 15kg/33lbs
Weighted pull ups with 10kg/22lbs: 3x5
NOTES
So today’s deadlifts went well. Hitting 120kg/264lbs for 10 was not too difficult (considering I pulled 132.5kg/292lbs for 10 on Saturday), however hitting it for 10 five times was a bit more challenging. Also managed to beat the 1rm I hit last week by 2.5kg/5lbs which makes this the 3rd week in a row where I hit a 2.5kg/5lbs PB on a single meaning I have added 7.5kg/16lbs since I tested in December which I am happy with
I went off plan with the squats today quite frankly just because I wanted to 
In all seriousness with the % I am working at now (80%+) for the sets of 10 on squat there is no way I am going to hit that weight after just hitting a deadlift PR and after hitting 50 reps with 75% of my 1rm on deadlifts.
I also think mentally I am a place where I know 5x10 has run it’s course so I am just focusing on squeezing any PBs left in the tank
Also my squat has gone from my most disappointing lift (due to regression) post juggernaut, to a lift of concern mid way through 5x10 when I had technical issues to a lift I am now most excited for. I am SURPRISINGLY back to my best on squats with having hit
Congrats on the PRs! Gotta get while the gettin’s good…
+1 from me! Congratulations!
I would “like” your post 10x if that were possible.
The repeat PRs are really cool to see
Thanks.
The PRs are nothing special weight wise but mean a lot to me atm just due to the fact that they are coming after a rather boring period of sessions of 5x10 multiple times a week with the initial weeks being very light. I guess boring works
I hope so because that’s my entire log!
Upper body day

NOTES
Nothing special. Practically exactly the same session as last week rep for rep, which I am ok with.
I am still waiting for the new gyms Rota to be out so I can plan my training, my PTing at the other studios I am currently at and MMA so I am still unclear with what the next week will look like training wise.
Also not really training related but just wanted to mention that today is my Birthday and for the first time in 11-12 years I am able to indulge (a couple slices of cake and my favourite take out) guilt free without starving all day, without beating myself up and without worrying about “gaining fat”.
Awesome, sounds like one of the best conceivable “gifts”
Happy birthday!
What prompted the attitude shift?
