When I visited Darwin in 2011 for a joint training exercise with the 5th RAR, I arrived believing it to be the worst insult in the English language, and left thinking it meant “friend”, or “guy”.
“E’s a right good cunt, that one!”
“Oy, you cunts goin out later?”
Also, going from Japanese winter to Australian wet season is not fun.

Heading into the gym today, felt sluggish and tired from work as the weather is starting to warm up in the foundry and starting to take a toll on me physically.

Note: After my meet on May 11th, I decided to attend the local Meet in my home town in September which is roughly 17+weeks depending on which week in September. I will be following the Conjugate method influenced by the WSBB and training 5 days a week with two days off. With the first 12 weeks all assistance work will be more in the hypertrophy range then with the remaining weeks it will be more strength focused.
Monday - ME Upper
Tuesday - ME Lower(Both Sq/DL)
Weds - OFF
Thursday - ME Lower(Both)
Friday - DE(OR ME) Upper → depending on how I feel
Saturday - DE/RE Lower
Sunday - OFF
