Nice toys!!!

Thanks Brian!

Bikes are impressive to say the least!!

Still in the market for a new car? - you mentioned something about that not too long ago.

Cheers Coke! Yeah, my inheritance comes through very soon. Been a tough year so going to treat myself to a Jaguar.

Sweet!!

Thanks Nick! Had this bike for about a year now and still not bored of it. 0-60 in 3.6secs. 0-100 in 7.9.

Though saying that, my mate is trying to persuade me to have his Aprilia off him. 1000cc and another 30bhp on top of mine...

Hmm...

Summary:

Good day - no cardio!

Think the 65kg press was a PR, not sure though.

May have to start using DBs for the beach muscles soon; the cables on the cable machine keep snapping! The stacks on the cable machine only go up to 50kg(110lbs), so for triceps etc we have to add plates or dbs.

Did some more very light Reverse Hypers, simply because I love the way it eases my lower back. May have to do them every session as a finisher, lol. Probably no harm in that if I keep it light. I hear Louie Simmons does it everyday, sometimes more than once.

Last heavy day of this cycle, deload squats tomorrow.

And tomorrow night I'm restarting Kung Fu with my old Sifu after a ten year hiatus! Taking my younger brother and wife with me. Should be good fun!

However, on a brighter note...

Part One of my first novel is now available to buy or borrow on Amazon as an eBook!
