Hard Workin' Cat-Eyed Bill!

This is what hard work looks like fellas!. Check out these pics after Big Bill worked himself into a near catatonic state.

He still had enough energy to give me the one finger salute though



And then get back in to do some Cat-eye Situps with the Disco Ball.

Nice work Bill!

HUMBA'S BACK...SORT OF.

After several weeks, perhaps two months, of training being disrupted by self-inflicted injury, holidays and general amotivation, I'm back training. God works in mysterious ways (and I'm not referring to the fact He allows things like tsunamis and serial killers) because last week I was getting back into deadies and feeling far from enthusiastic as I trundled into the gym. To my delight my gym, which has the shittiest machines and no squat rack, had purchased a new bar and bumper plates. It was precisely what I needed to boost my commitment to training. I'm still getting back some strength and having some pain from my wrist and knee but I'm keen. I'm also determined to do more flexibility and warm-up movements so that I can keep on training consistently as life slowly passes me by.


So gentleman, hopefully I may join you in a Sunday training session on the Queens birthday weekend.

By the way, there's a show on Wednesday nights on the one of the channel ten stations (called ONE HD) about bikies called Sons of Anarchy that is meant to be pretty good. I'm yet to see it but may watch it this week.

I've attached some pics of the new bar at my gym as well as a couple of shots of a weird machine for back stuff and also a stupid machine for (I think) calves to give you an idea of my training environment.

Big PB's!!!

Well done to Nige, Linden and Jack. Big PB's on the deadlift this morning. Nige pulled a comfortable 160kg, Linden 105kg and Jack (who's only been training for a few months) 75kg. I also got a rep PB on Saturday 225kg x 10 which I'm pretty pumped about. Good work fellas!

Out-Jerked By An Eight Year Old

Just to keep us humble...

Frodo and I have been trying some clean and jerk training on our deadlift day. You can see in my log that I did a set of 70kg. Here's a video of an eight year old doing 75kg.
