Love your work!
No training tonight but did go to the physio to get some more work on my leg and hip. My hamstring and calf have been particularly tight and that really shows when I try to do lying leg curls. He did some dry needling and massage on my hamstring and calf. They were damn sore and tight so hopefully this will make a difference.
I hope so, Simo!

I think you look awesome. Great legs, great lats, great arms. You look hench.
Thanks mate that is very kind of you. One of the young guys in the gym who I havenât seen for a few weeks said i was looking massive yesterday too. Must be my week to feel good.
Had to pop into work on Saturday morning to open and lock up the site for some contractors we have removing all the racking and conveyors. They are all young lads who work hard and then hit the gym or play footie. They are from NSW so that really means they play rugby league.
They usually only see me in my work clothes but because it is Saturday I just had shorts and t shirt on today. When I got back to lock up the boys were sitting in the tea room, when I walked in one of the lads straight away says âfk man you are tankâ, another one asked me do you go to the gymâ
I thought he said had I just been to the gym so I replied no I was just washing my car ![]()
The first guy says âlook at your arms, I didnât realise you were that big, I only ever see you I your smart clothesâ.
Made me smile and that is 3 compliments this week.
What a truely excellent week.
The Dream.
Second only to the steroid suggestions. ![]()
Haha, that guyâs going to start washing his car twice a week. ![]()
Looking thick, solid, tight. Great job Simo!
Yes mate, you can get this after heavy rains or floods.
Oh hell nah ![]()
Eh, thatâs not even scary here down under. Lol.
Brown Snakes and Red Bellies hiding under your decking or behind ya pool equipment is worse.
Wow. ![]()
Thatâs wild.
We have snakes here in Georgia where I live but nothing like a brown or red belly.
Georgia has copperheads, timber rattlesnakes, eastern diamondbacks, pygmy rattlesnakes, and cotton mouths in the southern part.
I am in North Georgia though so mostly we see copperheads and the occasional timber.
They are rare though. We also have a lot of non venomous snakes that eat the venomous ones.
Is that a brown?
Yes it was about 2 meters. We just call a snake catcher guy and he comes and re homes it.
