Forgot to mention but me and my girlfriend have been together 5 years now so we went out for a picnic at one of the highest points on the isle of wight it was beautiful! She also made me vegan pizza and raspberry muffins, I'll try and get the recipe because they were effing gorgeous!

Don't let the DL's disappont you, looks like you got a solid double wiith 140kg and that's some decent weight coming off the floor. Maybe you should have tried 150kg for your last pull?
