HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE! training on your birthday is dedication on mine the mrs made me a vegan chocolate cake and I drank ale all day haha
that wrist roller sounds like hell haha! have you noticed forearm improvements yet?
also I took the liberty of calculating a 1 rep max on your squats (90Kg x 6) that gives you a 1rm of 107! good number man have you done heavier before??

cheers buddy! chocolate cake and ale ive not had a vegan cake, they good?

it is hell but i love training forearms they look so cool for a bit after all pumped up and veiny haha i found it easier 2nite than the other day so must be working! make one mate its pumps your whole arm up!

107? ok for a cyclist/weight trainer i suppose, yeh i used to be able to lift alot more on everything, but that was when i was a big lump at a touch under 17stone, taking evry supplement under the sun and eating about a million calories a day of, well pretty much anything

i keep forgetting that im much lighter now so my lifts arent going to be as good.

you training tomorow?

vegan cakes are fantastic! my father in law is an old fashioned farmer and was reluctant to eat some of it but once he did he had seconds haha
how did you make it? I used to do light forearm curls and a weird yet effective technique where you hold two or three full bottles of wine or water, (wine bottles are better) inbetween your fingers and walk. sounds odd but maybe that's because I'm not explaining it right haha regardless of that you get a killer forearm workout, hurts like shit!!
well that's still an impressive number bloody hell you used to be heavy haha, what weight are you at now?
yeah I'm training tomorrow lunch time, I was gonna squat but lunges yesterday have resulted in pretty bad leg doms :/ maybe I'll deadlift and hit shoulders again haha. you training tomorrow? got much planned for the weekend?

hmmm i might have to try and make one sumtime! haha is he old school and thinks vegans are nuts?


i just got a scaffold tube and covered it in bandage and tied a rope around it in the middle about 3 foot long. just tie the rope to weights then twist in your hands and wind the weight up then do the same to lower it! eh? i cant picture your bottle workout! yeh i was a big lump, not much definition but was strong, im 84kg now so around 13 stone something i think, racing bear!

ah leg DOMS lovely innit sweet, i might hit the deadlifts again too but if my lower back is stiff after the squats ill just do some rows + chins etc

no plans for the weekend really, might get the ducks some new houses and stuff like that! what about you? are u working again?

Haha pretty much although he's far too nice and polite to say so
Yeah its hard to explain but the tube idea sounds good! Think I'll give it a try next time I grip train, could use an empty dumbell handle or something.
Yeah I'm working all weekend and have christmas work party and my dads birthday shindig so no time for training unfortunately!
Having ducks must be so cool
