Definitely!
Is there Still loving hut etc in Christchurch?
Have you ever loved someone so much you didn't care what happened to yourself?
You Just had to be with them.
If they look at you, your heart stops.
If you feel their breath on your skin, you just ache.
Have you ever craved someone so much you didn't exist anymore?

On the Advice of a couple of different Exercise physiologist I always do 4 times more back than chest... Helps keep my shoulders moving in the right plane etc
Eating a lot more lentils (Dhal etc) and whole foods if it's good enough for Avi lehyani, it's good enough for me...
Supplement wise, a bit of Nitrofusion with some berries and low fat soy or nut milk and BCAAS

What's that? A lot of places in Chch are gone now after all the earthquakes, if you have been here before it looks completely different now to what it used to be.
Not all bad though, the temporary city centre is pretty funky

Ah I think I actually meant the Lotus Heart... Haven't been to Christchurch since before the Quake, looking at Google Earth I can see that there are still whole blocks that need to be rebuilt

Re: Chris' Training Stuff
Yeah Still Training,
Doing more a Hypertrophy Style work out at the moment
Doing 2-3 sets to Failure with 45-60 seconds rest between sets
You get a work out done pretty quick, ha ha!
Current Training is
Monday - Chest and Back
Tuesday Legs
Wednesday - Field hockey Training, 1 hour of Fitness, 1 hour of Drills
Thursday - Chest and Back, Stretching
Friday - Arms, shoulders
Saturday - Hockey Game
Sunday - Rest (Usually pretty stiff after Hockey) Sometimes go for a bike ride
Last Nights workout was
Incline Dumbbell Chest Press
1 x 17
1 x 14
1 x 12
Seated Row
1 x 16
1 x 16

You tend to have to drop the weight a bit doing Hypertrophy Training, Feel like I am getting stronger though, for when I go back to a standard workout
