Super Log of Joy

Training's looking great. How's hook-grip treating you? I'm getting to where it's not really hurting anymore.

Good session. 3hrs+ without carbs was lagging a bit at the end. Lots of time spent chatting with the club though.

That was a real good session considering you weren't carbed up. I feel horrible when I train and I haven't eaten much. Well done doing 3 hours like that.

Cheers! I know, have just reordered some carbs from myprotein so hopefully should have them next time i train.

That session should normally have taken 2hrs absolute max but it was so bloody busy in there today!

Great work on the squat! Must feel good to come back strong.

Deads were good, I'm trying to find out what weigh I should use as my opener in two weeks time. 190 looks good at the moment.
