The Legend of Toothpick

Looked good all night mate. Not sure about you crawling about on that floor whilst stretching though and at least the door was open for you tonight

Good deep squats there my southern friend. Deads are looking smoother too.

All benching done with strong pauses; will be doing this up to the comp now.

Had the pleasure of meeting 'Big Phil', a mammoth of a man who even makes Fat Pete look small!

Got a few funny looks when I bought 6 litres of milk at the garage.. is that not normal

Hey Rob, say hi to big Phil for me, not seen him for a while. I think a trip to Adlington is long overdue for me. Easter holidays - 2 weeks off - no excuses!

No problem mate, although I am officially known as 'Big Rob' (or 'Fat Rob') after weighing 107.5 on Andy's scales and then reaching the zenith of 108.4 right before bed.

I *knew* it! I was just saying to Adam on Friday that you're no more 101kg than I am.

I unleashed my new scales this morning - 20st2.5, which is less than I feared.

LOL, you great big beef-oaf-cake !!!

looking forward to the pics - could you put them on a disk or secretly upload the big ones (or atleast one good one of the dead) as i like to get one printed off rob

thx matey

4-5 weeks of speed deads from the floor now, then a cycle with them off platforms I think. Dropped back on the squats a bit and increasing reps to 10.
