Thats it😎 Good deduction mate.
When I say younger they are a mix of late 20’s up to maybe very late 30’s. So they are not really kids but I am older by maybe 5-18 years.
How do i join for the cheering gains
Just turn up on a Friday night and join in.
I’ll take a rain check. If I’m ever in the area we’ll see. If ur ever in Melbourne city I’ll show u the sexy equipment at Doherty’s
If you do, it’s selfie time
Happy Australia Day To all my Australian friends.
Posted this on the transformation thread, copied it here for reference:
Had a few friends over for takeout and drinks last night. Wife gets the nandos but they get the order wrong and give us two extra whole chickens and sides. I always complain she doesn’t order enough so make it my mission to finish everything on the table. After I have eaten 1 and a half chickens and chips and rice, I check the boxes and there is still 2 chickens to go. I am thinking I am really off my game. I eat another half a chicken and then I have to admit defeat. Wife starts laughing and says she realised there were 2 extra about half way through but wanted to see how far I would go. Had the meat sweats for the next 2 hours !!
Didn’t weigh myself this morning but pretty sure it wouldn’t have been a drop !!
Congrats on the chicken PR.
Rekon I hit a poo PR this morning clearing out that nandos !!
Jealous
Thought that chicken PR would get you going ![]()

Day off work today looking after the kids. It is the last day of school holidays here. Thank goodness a new school year starts tomorrow.
Body feels really good, deload doing it’s thing. Back to work tomorrow but another rest day and then back to the gym on Thursday and Friday.
Been talking with coach and it looks like we will go another block the same as the last 3 as I’m still progressing and he reckons we have a fair bit left to squeeze out.
