hehe...i see probably easier for you to follow my log here! ;D

I´d love to learn German, they say is very close to English. I hope so, I am looking for a school here. Maybe someday I´ll write some for you, but just when I can....

[Arvid Beck]

most people think it's quite difficult to learn... i'd also say that it's much more complicated than english!

[Arvid Beck]

Here are some pics how i look like right now... fat!! ^^

But it should be a good idea to see the progress...

Good size on your legs mate.

[Arvid Beck]

Thx... i guess it's genetics... legs and back

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

I'm the opposite, all upper body and I have to work really hard on legs. You have a great, solid base to work with though which is an advantage I would guess.

Hope you are having a good weekend ~ where in Germany are you from?

[Arvid Beck]

Well, you cannot win against your genes... ;D

I'm from the beautiful city düsseldorf! thx, a good weekend for you too!

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

Haven't been there, spent a bit of time in Bremen years ago. Good beer there!

Used to snowboard up in Switzerland a few times a year as well, I miss Europe more than the UK.

i wouldnt miss the uk if i left either! tom platz has some serious leg competition there!

[Mini Forklift Ⓥ]

Haha. I always used to find the UK really overcrowded, a lot of the people are grumpy and moan about everything. That's why I love where I am ~ happy people in an underpopulated country and we like to try and be as self-sufficient as possible.

[Arvid Beck]

Thanks for the conpliment mrbear, but i think tom platz has no leg competition with me! ^^

His legs were just from another planet!

Have you seen that video where Platz squats 500lb for 23 reps? If you haven't you should check it out, mind blowing !!
