    oh, i met someone today well i've seen him train before we started talking and he's been watching me train and all, he used to compete in powerlifting, he told me i got great potential in taking my training further cool , we didn't continue the convo further as i was up to my head in work but i'm sure we'll chat again

    Kiera Knightley is a fox

    Great leg work Sylvia, especially for little rest. You would do well as a strength athlete, there is no doubt.

    Damn fine benching and rowing. Those are fine numbers for anyone. I think you should try the PL thing. It's mucho fun and if you compete it's even better! I think you'd do awesome esp. considering you've already got a great base to begin with.
