A place like that would make an absolute KILLING here in Edinburgh, particularly if it was in one of the more hipster areas

I love Edinburgh Yogi. I’ve been so many times. Last time was for my honeymoon last August. I think it may actually be my favourite place in the UK.
hit me up if you ever decide to come back! Had loads of fun at my last T-Nation meet up

I will definitely be back at some point so I will do just that.
Likewise if you’re ever in London let me know. I’m starting a house extension on 1st June and my first priority is a home gym (a proper one). I guess it’ll be November before its complete but after that I’ll have a pretty well kitted out gym. You’d be more than welcome to use it if you’re visiting my neck of the woods.
I must keep watch for a T Nation meet up. I’d be up for that.

I actually will probably be in London towards the end of summer so I’ll let you know!
Fuck training though. Let’s have a drink. Flipcollar was in Edinburgh in January and the last thing we were going to do was anything healthy!

haha, god damn you as well!?
Way too fat for pics at the moment although I’m dropping a little fat before a holiday in July so I guess that’d be as good a time for some progress pics as any.
It’s going to be such a massive anticlimax for you all…

Give us a little clue at least haha? If you competed in bodybuilding/physique at a local level, would you place or come close at least? haha

Interesting question! Honestly I have no idea as I don’t follow the sport. When I’m lean I suppose I could turn a few heads on the beach, but if I were ever to get up on a stage I think it’s fair to say I’d get my ass handed to me.
Currently sitting a little North of 200lbs, and soft (abs definition in good light but a bit of a belly sticking out, visible in a t shirt). Arms about 16" I think, not entirely sure.
Here’s the general life cycle of my physique:
-Looking jacked, feeling good.
-Meet a girl, get fat
-Break up with girl, realise I’m fat
-Hit the diet and fat loss drugs HARD
-Realise I’m skinny and look like a junky now
-Cheeky little steroid cycle
-Looking jacked, feeling good
-Repeat
Currently in the realise-I’m-fat stage, so slowly doing something about it although not just doing my usual crash diet and clenbuterol as, as I’ve mentioned about a million times, I have thyroid worries currently.
You have to remember that, although I love to train and have a good body and all that shit, I have a very active social circle, and not a single one of my mates works out. This shit will never be my life, and while I have nothing but admiration and respect for guys like Rob or Brad who can build their entire life around it and produce something amazing, that’ll never be me. My idea of balance is balancing expensive rum with cheap cocaine. Even my steroid use is more of a shortcut towards looking good rather than trying to push the envelope in terms of strength and size (which is, admittedly, the reason someone should be doing them). You could look like I do naturally, probably very easily if you had good genetics, but I don’t have good genetics and I do like to get hedonistic, so there’s that.
Even though I wanted to get hyooge in my younger days, now I’m a little older my goal is for people to look at me and think “woah that dude’s in shape” rather than “yowch that dude’s clearly on steroids.”

… about this… I got hit with some financial setbacks, cancelled my tickets to pay for them… gutted cause I missed one of my best friends’ wedding, in England.
I’ve decided to sell my house and travel for a month in the fall, tho I’ll probably stick to Japan and Thailand.
you’re dead to me.
EDIT: hebrewhero kicks ass I totally love that guy!

Yogi!
I thought about emailing this, but I figure it’s worth sharing with the rest of TNation as well for anyone who remembers…
So you remember how that one jacked tall dude and Hallowed hooked up and broke SAMA? Well, a few months ago, I saw a dude that looked just like him at my gym. Then a couple more times. Then he was at strongman training this Saturday, and he got tagged in an instagram post. THE DUDE THAT BROKE SAMA WORKS OUT AT MY GYM!! I can’t for the life of me remember his screen name on here. But I’m pretty sure he also did one of those Colorado trips back in the day to train with Thibs and stuff. I’m sure someone can chime in with his name. Anyway. I won’t share his real name on here. But I found it humorous.
Carry on.

oh shit yeah I remember that guy! What a shitstorm that was. Pretty sure his screen name was just his real name.
Between him, Ct Rock and me, you’re collecting quite the T-Nation scrapbook
