hanging is good for the old back neddy !!

I (like you) have been enjoying 'getting a bit fat' but its probably time I lost the few kg's I have gained.

anyhoo, watched the vid of the midlands strongest man u90 ..was great to see you on your crutches ! what a spaz !

bench press 90kx6 95kx4 100kx1 (might have been a 2nd but it would have been a full on grinder and i'm avoiding them) paused bench 90kx3 80kx5


pleased to bench a 100k , a small but satisfying milestone.

Having to keep hold of the stone when the flimsy bit of plywood gave way must have really given your back a yank !!

always good to see !

I ony really notice it when i get out of the van , and when i start again after stopping for lunch , once im warmed up it doesn't really bother me , then i squat or deadlift and its f**ked again. I keep toying with doing some banded benchpress but i can never be arsed to set it up.
