It won’t let me log in, then has let me log in and said I’m banned permanently but just let me log in now.
Not an issue if banned just clarifying whilst it’s let me in again however briefly?

Well done son. That's cracking news mate. How was the treatment etc? Share the ups and downs as you won't be the only one to go through it.

Re: Porky's Corner
Thanks a lot mate. Treatment was tiring and draining can’t fault the NHS at all they have been brilliant end to end. It was humbling and made me stop living like a fat knacker. I caused all this through abusing my body so I’m super grateful and felt embarrassed for using NHS resources after having multiple surgeries for damage caused by competing in strongman and powerlifting again all self inflicted. Let’s just say I never mind paying NI. I’ve been working full time since I was 16 but still feel a bit of a nobber that I’ve cost the state so much but I’m extremely grateful for all the wonderful people who helped me. My sister is an NHS nurse so we joke that she puts the resources in and I take them all out.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑06 Jun 2026, 00:34 Well done son. That's cracking news mate.

I’m just super super happy as not guna lie it’s terrifying especially when you can’t worry your family so I just cracked on with it and refused to take time off work I just worked it around my treatment. That kept me sane. Work have been amazing and even paid for me to have a driver for a while.
I’m bloody lucky. I knew I had it before diagnosis as I wasn’t asymptomatic but I was nursing my Ma and couldn’t get it sorted til she passed but she passed 11 weeks from her diagnosis so I got stuck in straight after.

Re: Porky's Corner
No compound movements for me, those days are long gone. I had a mess about with deadlift last week to see what it was like but went to 200kg and thought I’m not risking this malarkey. My training is very measured, I go at least once a day tho and twice at weekends.Oiky wrote: ↑Yesterday, 08:46What's your training like now Sean? do you still squat, bench or deadlift?SeanBrennan wrote: ↑06 Jun 2026, 04:44Thanks a lot mate.

Think he was asking about your training mate, not your sex life (your poor wife must be exhausted)

Re: Porky's Corner
That's it, nice, 200kg is still a good pull for a mess around. I haven't deadlifted for a few months now, been doing RDL's and back extensions instead.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑Yesterday, 09:30No compound movements for me, those days are long gone.

Still squatting and benching, but I use a lot more machines as well nowadays than I've ever done, both the plate loaded and pin loaded Hammer Strength ones, do prefer free weights and probably always will but it's not one or the other for me, just do both, they all have their place.
