buzz said: Aye, no probs man. It's not a definite yet, but I think I'll give them a shot. Few updates for June; Texas Power Bars - price has gone up to £329 for these badboys. Still by far the cheapest UK supplier, but unfortunately the sub £300 price was not sustainable, partly due to some changes in the business, and also a very weak pound, which is crippling all U.S. imports at the moment. Shoes - still awaiting inspection, likely to ship out this week to arrive next week. Double ply sleeves - due for completion mid June and with us by the end of the month. These are bigger sizes, and with measurements as specified by myself, so they taper slightly less, as a lot of the issues seemed to be with people getting them over their calves/forearms. These will go up to crazy big size, and I challenge anyone to not be able to get into them  Offers - Full range of tacky 10% off for the month. Big Elites are currently out of stock unfortunately, but hoping to have more in around 3 weeks time. Stalls - Will have one at the British weightlifting in Kilmarnock on the 26th June. If anyone's there come and say hello, and/or buy some stuff off me I had the yellow sleeves off you a while back. I ordered the wrong size an xl pair, but i gave them to my mate. Then i had some XXL ones which were still tight however i stretched them alot.. now they are super tight. I was literally having to use my whole body to get them on... untill i discovered if i rub the insides with chalk they slip right on nice and easy!! | |||

| might aswell update my goals as im hitting nice pbs. by the end of 2010. ALL RAW bench press 195 kg touch and go. 187.5 paused squat: 245 kg deadlift: 295 kg The first time ever i feel my deadlift is getting weak compared with my squat. Since i injured my back i seem to have lost all confidence. However 230 kg felt very light and fast on reps last week, so i might bump the weight up to 250 kg and see what i can do. Or i will try for a pb with doubled mini bands. At one time my deadlift was 65 kg higher than my squat! i would love that right now! considering i hit 265 kg 6 months back i should be well on the way to 285.. unfortunalty i think id be lucky to hit 270. | |||

Sparrow said:Gutted he's injured again! Was supposed to be training with him on Wednesday but I guess not now! That would of been so cool, i really hope he isnt injured again. How soul destroying would that be after all the previous ones?! maybe he should gravitate more towards powerlifting. Either way he seems like a decent Americain strongman.. most are quite opinionated. lol. | |||
