Oh I am just gonna have to come visit!!!!

Aaarrggghhh, haven't trained since Friday as I've had toothache all weekend and yesterday ended up having to get a root canal done. Back at the dentists tonight to get it sealed up. Toothache has to be one of the worst pains ever !!

So... I just bought myself some new Puma's, they look badass and I bought them with the view that they're gonna look sweet as to pull in. I'm going to compete again at the Canterbury Champs in April and hopefully from there I can qualify for the Nationals in August. I've got that 187.5kg DL in my sights, would love to hit 190kg and get a NZ record to my name ~ I'm not underestimating that feat though. Works out at a 3.22 x bw pull





Will try the new Puma's out tomorrow morning, day of the deadlift haha

Hey, been meaning to ask ya something, i'm not big on supplements, however my trainer has been going on in my ear to take a protein supplement (at least for post-workout), when i was a vegetarian i used whey (briefly), but since becoming vegan i've not yet tried any vegan protein supplements, i notice you use a couple of different one's, in your experience, what would be the best quality V protein supplement?

Thanks
Rob

Duuuuude!! How ya doing?? I'm all settled in now bud

I hope you have a fancy velour track suit and a fuzzy kangol hat to go with those sweet kicks! If you do, obviously you must snap a photo of you pulling heavy wearing all that!

Thanks Rob. Yeah, I've tried quite a few and I've settled on one (for now) which I have been using for the last few months. Covers all of your nine essential and non-essential amino acids and it tastes great ~ which incidentally is why I'm not using SunWarrior anymore. Comparing the two of them, the Clean Lean Protein is naturally a little sweeter, mixes a lot easier and tastes smoother; SunWarrior is a little grainer and just seems quite bland in comparison. Having said that I do really like the nutritional panel of it and I don't doubt its' high quality, the taste just isn't for me though

Great to hear, bit stressful moving house aye? Good to hear you're all sorted out, did you have far to move?


Sounds like a challenge haha ?!

Gym hasn't been a priority towards the end of last week, just coming into the final week or so of acquiring our new business so it's been crazy with the amount of stuff to get done with lawyers, accountants etc.

Sorry I haven't been on here much lately, I will be back training again soon. I actually took a little time out yesterday to look over next years meets and plan out which ones I want to focus on

Good luck with the new business james! It sounds so exciting

Cheers Ross! Just relaxing with a coffee in my new mug, ahhhh the simple pleasures of life haha
