That was years ago, I would have to re read book 1, I remember i had a lot of books I was reading at the the time, i even read mort de Arthur at some point after egg and dunk.
I saw your training log, very impressive numbers, whereabouts in the UK do you live Boyce?

Worcestershire.

That’s a shame, In a few weeks I’m going unable to meet up as well, maybe in the future at some point when life calms down for us. If you do get the time to meet up within the next few weeks let me know…
To be honest Boyce, I was really curious to see if you would be cool in real life, or if you would turn up on check drops looking for a fight or something lol… Someone was disrespecting me on the internet, but I don’t think it was you, you seem to be really good to me, I don’t think that person behaves like that in person or disrespects people in to their face in real life, because they would be punched in the face on a daily basis, they probably feel safe to disrespect people from the safety of the internet.
I’m not hiding, everyone knows what I look like and I’m prepared to approached…

So today I will probably take a rest day.
I’m visiting my neice today, she just got home from giving birth, I’m excited to meet little baby Zayne, he weighed 2.3kg the little baby, I hope he throws up on my T-shirt for the blessings

He is so cute, baby Zayne, he was only awake for around 5 minutes while I was there. He was looking at me. I might visit him again on the weekend.
he needs to put on mass, let’s all pray for him. I think he is -1 month old because he was born premature, I think he’s the smallest baby I’ve ever held.

The father is some jacked gym teenager, my niece showed me pictures of him, a few days ago I felt like beating him up because he wasn’t there while my niece was in Labour and he isn’t making effort. But now I realised beating him up is pointless and won’t help the situation. To be honest right now I hope he will step up to his responsibilities and duties and be there for his son.
but he’s not being there for her, he’s asking for a dna test, my neice said she never cheated on him and I believe her, I don’t need a dna test. And my niece said he said he can get any woman he wants and stuff like that to her. I’m hoping he will reform and be loyal to my neice and be a good husband and father

My neice was in labour for 4 days, she went into detail and told me about it, now I know how hard it is, She is my eldest sisters daughter, ive actually held a lot of babies, I have three older sisters. she is a personal trainer, I hope she recovers fast, they told her she’s not allowed to pick up anything heavier than Zayne. And she’s alone with Zayne, I think that Nathan guy should go and look after her and help her, he’s young, maybe he’s getting bad advice, I know he has the potential to improve spiritually and I hope he does, Zayne deserves a father. She said she is going to get a dna test on the weekend.
My neice had a large amount of diapers and clothes ready for zayne but he’s too small so she had to get special smaller size diapers and clothes for him.
I miss zayne so much, I think he has been thinking about me, “who” “where” I feel his Love and positive energy. He didn’t cry while I was there, he was quiet and content, he smiled and stretched and looked, my neice is looking after him well, she doesn’t even wait for him to cry to feed him, he moaned a little bit and she took him to her room to feed him. She Loves him deeply and she is putting him first. Her mother instincts have kicked in well, she’s so lovely, she gave me a head massage and it felt amazing. She said she’s an empath, when she asked if I was and described it I said it seems I am too, but on further thought I’d say all humans are empaths.
My neice lives far away, and the journey felt taxing yesterday, i was rushing in the morning and I didn’t eat properly. I definitely want to visit Zayne as much as possible but I think I’ll probably only see him one more time before I leave

I decided to take another day off, I did some aqua therapy today.
I’m thinking to switch things up tomorrow and do heavy chest flat bench, legs and shoulders maybe, if I feel like heavy flat bench.

Incase anyone wants to meet up and go gym I’ll be in London for the next 2 weeks so let me know.
After that I’m going on a Bodybuilding holiday

So yesterday My PR for reps attempt failed with the 100kg flat bench, and then I felt like I needed a PR so decided to attempt 110kg for the first time and I put 5kg plates on either end of the bar, it felt surprisingly light, it felt really good to get the PR, yesterday I decided to try to always keep a PR in my bag for one of those days.

My instinct tells me It would be easier for me to progress my bench to 6x 110kg instead of 9x 100kg right now.

I was wearing the wrist wraps for the first time yesterday, I didn’t notice much, maybe I need to get used to them, maybe I should also get elbow wraps lol.

I decided to take a rest day today because I am feeling yesterday’s workout. I was going to do some sprinting today, I find myself really enjoying it like never before, i just tried it out for cardio because my upper body felt too tired to row for cardio and I now I feel like I want to sprint again.

but one of my sister’ decided to drive to see my neice and baby Zayne tonight and she is picking me up soon, I’m feeling excited to see the baby, good thing my workout was really intense yesterday, we will probably come back to London tomorrow
