Bit of a spell in the masters with some success before disillusionment and politics mixed with my (regarded) anti establishment views and ability to ask awkward questions led to a rethink and a formation of a new federation, namely my own and TBH things havent been happier for a long time. Doing all the above was fun at the time, but for me now it doesnt matter too much.
The presence of my Girls Aloud banner is a condition of my log being here. The 5 British beauties are essential to leg strenth are are quite possibly the most anabolic girl band since the golden days of Spice.
Anyway, near future. 13th October. Adlington. It's C&J's and Fronties for me. If you're there see you then. I'll stick some training in here when I do some.

SOLID! Good to see a log here matey! This place needed a whiff of lemon freshness, Mishima was holding the fort bravely.

Good to see this.

What is a power-pentathlon?

Federation of one is pure classic!

"The 5 British beauties are essential to leg strenth are are quite possibly the most anabolic girl band since the golden days of Spice"

Do you have a favoured girl Andy? Tweedy is mine

Tweedy! Best of luck smashing them club records mate.

It's an international comp run annually in Germany. It's 5 events - Snatch, C&J, standing triple jump, shot (backwards OH for distance) and 40M sprint from lie ing start, all run on points/ bwt system

Works for me. If I have any questions now I ask, and get an answer straight away (mostly in the same voice)
No. Thats the whole point. There are 5 of them. Having favourites reduces leg strength

Ahhhhhh. You sense my hunger. Cheers dude.

The front squat is yours mate, if you want it enough.

DO you think there should have an official record board at Adlington? A bit American/cheesy, but would show the strength and history of the club to any visitors etc.

May ask Alan what he thinks.

Also like the sound of the power decathlon, shame they had to ruin it with too much lemon though lol.

Nice banner! Rob are these going to be implemented for everyone or just lemon freshies only?
Andy you must have been the hardest kid at your school thats for certain

Yea I'm planning on letting people to lots of customizing with their journals on the next version of the site, but that's a few months away at least. Lots of ideas written down but no coding done yet!! Until then Little A is the beta tester

PMSL at the message about the girls strumming away to whilst on the tour bus.... You have some lovely dreams dont you babe? x

Andy - it's under review, but the lifts are 'kin awesome. I cant think of any one person in Britain who could break them all
Baz - not at all mate. I was quite small for my age and more of a lover than a fighter. Also I was a fairly unattractive shy kid until I grew up and became quite reasonable looking, so I read a lot of porn and had a lot of 'self love'

Who let you in? Can I not go anywhere. Lads, meet Mrs Little A

Yeah, mostly about girls strumming away on guitars, or better still playing cello's... naked... see through cello's naked....
Be back soon. Oooh

Yeah they are awesome.

Give me eight years for that deadlift though.

You reckon you want to take anything off Big Phil Parker? I'll hold your coat son Oh yeah, at 5' 8" and 15' I'm the small one
