Hey Chris!

Stopping by today to say Yeah Buddy! I was out wandering around today in the woods like during Vegan Vacation and thought of you and wanted to say hi.

Great training log as usual as well!

I hope all is awesome!

Hey Robert,
Thanks for stopping by...
I'll be in the USA in June Next year, Woohooo... so we will have to organise a training session
I might not be suddenly jumping 30lbs in weight, I just hope my journal illustrates that to maintain strength and muscle mass it is all about consistency and effort!
Slowly chipping away at the bodyfat levels, whilst maintaining muscle, I'll post some pics soon.
