Take the Power Back.

People like yourself are the reason Sugden is, at heart, only 18 inches away from a great place to be.

Again, the numbers aren't much to look at, but I know how hard I had to work to get them. Was feeling quite tired and lethargic so I'm pretty pleased with myself as all numbers were hit and all up on last week.

Waste of f**king time.

Good work Sir.

Solid mate...any competition plans end of 2013?

Nice work Dave. Looks like we're competing in the same comp in December mate, don't humiliate me too much lol!

Jabba, point taken!

JC and Ox, POSSIBLY, although the thought of competing is causing more issues than anything at the moment.Just keep getting back to strength and consider a competition.

Can't be arsed with powerlifting any more, so contemplating a novice compnto keep my hand in. Ox, no danger of that, have you seen my numbers?!

Numbers maybe down but experience counts for a lot!

Fancy a bit of log/axle this weekend? Or still a bit early to start doing events?

Yea, I'm not sure if I'm ok with that or not Dave.

Working Sat and got a match Sun I'm afraid Raj.

Consistency is the key. Creeping towards useful numbers I suppose.

How's the muscle regrowth Dave? There must be enough weight there to stimulate good growth.

As it happens today I got called both big and lean by seperate people.

Just under 15% bodyfat at 108.7kg at the moment. So have clawed back a little muscle, and actually my records show that a couple of years ago at 120kg I was carrying 91kg of fat free mass, 25.3%BF. Today that fat free mass is 92kg at 108.7kg, 15%BF. That's progress by any measure. 10% lower body fat with slightly more muscle mass.

Some tightness and soreness in my shoulder has built overnight, to the stage where it's now pretty damn painful and restricted.

Going to be a nervous couple of days I think.

I had my supraspinatus reattached a while ago. Every time I got DOMS or any other problem with that shoulder, I worried that it was tearing again but it was fine. Chances are that it's nothing mate, just your body objecting to the increased weights and volume.

Good luck Big Un.
