| I may well be alone on this view - I often am :-) But I encourage lads to just f**king bench and that's it !! What I mean by this is - don't arch - don't f**k about with tucking shoulders and elbows and pushing through Your legs and all that crap .. Just lie down and press .. Your best is 95kg ? Worry about all that bollox when your pressing 160kg in a few years .. Just get strong as f**k first . | |||

Just can't be arsed lifting on that side of the curtain ! Is that right dude ? Your so cool ! | |||

Cavemen made cheese ? Before they learnt how to kill a pig and BBQ the c**t ?? f**k NO - I`m not having that ! | |||

Post Edited: 11.05.2015 @ 09:51 AM by MarkClegg I didn`t know it was Curious George the first time I watched the video .I often think to myself WHY ? when I watch him lift . Some times - Why is you belt so high ? But mostly - Why U So MAD Bro ? He strikes me as someone who isn`t very happy ? I wonder why or is it just an online persona. ------------------------------- Personally I don`t find any of this animalistic, cave man stuff any use But I think that's a lot to do with the USA in him .. | |||

| Really nice lifting mate !! You're improving consistently and constantly so I'm sure you'll do something around 160 next year which would be incredible lifting for someone who's taken up weightlifting in the later stages ! Tremendous ! And when I see the empty gym with the 80s pop music it takes me back to my lifting days .. Very often as a young lad I would have to go in the gym on my own and try and produce Magic and its f**king hard !! I have the late Lyndon Johns (rest in peace sensei) to thank for the mental imagery techniques I still use to this day .. YoU look strong minded ! I must come and watch the Northerns this year .. | |||
