 Member 3757, 1746 posts SQ 202.5, BP 110, DL 255567.5 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Mate that sounds like a rough year. Don’t be afraid to talk about your feelings bro, shouldn’t bottle s**t like that up for too long. Get it out in the open, speak to friends and family, even a professional if you need to. At least you have the MMA. So versatile and good for the soul. 2020 has been fine for me. It’s been a year of learning. Trying to avoid the news as much as possible. Honestly nothing to complain about. | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22050 posts | dannyboy73 said: my granddad died and aunt dies this year in first lockdown. my old mate was shot and died. Sorry to hear that  I spoke a bit about my feelings in the corona thread. It's been pretty s**t and I've struggled. I had a few days recently where I felt really quite gloomy, but I managed to pick my mood up by reminiscing about my strongman days and watching comp footage | ||

 Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Sorry to hear the s**t stuff. For everyone concerned. It’s not been the best year but so far I’ve been lucky. Stayed in work and pretty positive. Wish you all well, and keep finding ways to be positive. Wayne, I’ve enjoyed the reminiscing strongman stuff too. Ta. Loved the early days of Sugden and strongman stuff. | ||

 improvment is a MUST !! Member 1407, 1629 posts SQ 215, BP 187.5, DL 270672.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Locked out of my home in China due to covid from March 28th. April 4th had to fly back to UK due to running out of money. I had been on holiday since Dec 28th. End of August China lifted ban on some people, but my residence permit was due to expire- needed government issued invitiation letter, wouldn’t give it me. October- now i can enter China but need to apply for a new visa, due to my old one expiring. I got new visa, booked flights, trains and covid tests. Left my temporary job in UK. Then Boris decides to intoduce lockdown and a few days later China decides to ban us again. Luckily my deposit for tests was returned, my flight is in for refund and trains i can get a free change within 6 months. I was allowed back to my temporary job for 2 days a week. So im not dead, just heavily annoyed at my situation that keeps dragging on and on. | ||

 403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | I had customers queuing at the door before the gym opened before Covid, now mornings see 1-2 people in. On the plus side, the evenings are packed. I make more money collecting and selling snails (if that's eww, I collect and sell escargot) and make more money from that than I do from the gym - is that a good thing or a bad thing? I'm looking to buy 4.5 acres of land, but I have to wait for it to go to auction. Gonna plant about 20 olive trees to start with, a couple of oranges/grapefruits etc. and some veg, see where it goes from there. That's IF I win the auction. | ||
