Group Excursion To Elite Sports Performance
It was exciting! We were very excited and nervous and excited. It is such a great exciting gym with so many nice shiny pieces of equipment that help to train your muscles. And boy did we train our muscles! And then some! There were many many strong people there and they helped to motivate us. I am still tingling. I'm not sure if the other guys are still tingling but I will be sure to ask them if they are still tingling and whether they are tingling or not i will be sure to report back to you. Bill nearly spewed after the prowler which just proves how great it all was. Thanks to Marty, Pig, Chucky, Bro, Archer, Vic and the others for being so great. Just so great. Here are some pics and vids. Wowee!
Spontaneous Deads At Jo's Joint!
I was on the way to visit the folks in the country on the weekend and stopped in at Lara to say hello to my sister, Jo, and the kids. Jo's a mad freaky gym junky with a PB deadlift of 110kg, so when I suggested we do some deficit deads with some of her dodgy gym equipment she was as keen as shit. She was SHIT keen. And that. Here's our last sets. We were using old plates, a shitty bar with no grip and it was spitting rain. We were awesome. Watch.

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!
