Well havent updated much; didnt want to bother anyone on Christmas lol but thanks for asking man!

A little down in the dumps. Its kind of hard to go from having everything you need and want to nothing. Best mate who moved away a few years ago and i couldnt see lived in the city so saw him alot. Alot of my Family lives in perth, just the city life of even being able to order a pizza or go to the movies or the beach when i want.) Or the huge amount of hot girls and decent gyms and the job opportunities and stuff i wanted to do in the future. Honestly I’ve always wanted to live in the city. I cant really blame my aunty for kicking me out though (im mainly upset with her doing it behind my back instead of telling me), she mainly did it because she has ptsd ( post traumatic stress disorder) and teenagers are stressful. Also because she wants me to get a relationship with my dad. Shes had two kids of her own before and i think she shouldnt have taken me in if she couldnt handle a teenager but well shes only had ptsd for the last year or so , so she wouldnt have known.

Was at my best mates for a bit and my dad wanted to go camping (where im getting made to live now) so i went camping and now im at his house. Theres no access to a gym and he has no plans for getting any equipment " you dont need a gym, you can lift rocks" . Havent trained in weeks and its depressing the f outta me. So my goal of competing in strongman 2k18 is pretty much ruined. Im getting sent to boarding school ( i hate school enough, boarding there is even worse) :joy: apparently and theres a small school gym there which is better then nothing i guess. I dont want to go to a new school and shit , it was hard enough for me moving to perth and going to a new school ( i was used to a school of 200 people from kindergarden to year ten, whereas my school in the city had 1000 and it was only a high school). I have high functioning autism so one of the worst things about it is, social interaction and making friends is harder then it should be.

im trying to get a caravan to live by myself back in perth, the trouble is funds because i have no money. My mum has offered for me to go back down there and go to boarding school. ( lives in a farm as well) which is better then my dads because i know people in that area and at the school id be going to, plus id be closer to my sister. Also i wouldn’t have to be at home with mum anyway if im at boarding school.

So, your dad wants you to live with him but then send you to boarding school?
(might be wrong, i dont fully understand what a boarding school is)
good luck man.

A boarding school is a school that you stay at.
Easiest way to sum it up lol.

Thanks man

Man, for 90% of ny training career I’ve trained at this gym that only has a couple of cheap barbells, one squat rack, one bench, a pull-up bar and a couple of pulleys. Nothing fancy. No hack squat machines, no dedicated tricep/bicep/chest etc. machines. Actually the only machine there is an antique leg press.

And you know what? That’s still the best gym I’ve ever trained at. You don’t need a deadlift bar to deadlift. You don’t need an isosymmetrical low row 4000 to build a big back.

So don’t worry about training. As long as you have a bar and plates you’ll manage.

This is true. Hopefully it has a squat rack and a barbell at least.

I’m so sorry to hear all this… I can’t even imagine having to deal with this kind of crap at 15 years old. You have a good head on hour shoulders and already seem pretty mature for your age. I wish your mate’s family would just take you in until you finish school. That’s really all you should have to worry about at this age. =(

Thankyou jamie. One things for sure i will eventually be back home in the city.

Damn, @duketheslaya, tough stuff to hear you’re going through some more crap.

Hopefully you can get settled and 2018 is going to be a kick ass year for you.

Been keeping quiet because I don’t have anything useful to add but I’m following along closely mate and hoping it all works out well for you.
