Solid training man. How did you feel training on an empty stomach? I think I'd pass out! You know you can always sub a bent over row, or single arm row (do both sides, duh) for the Aussie pullups. I used to sit my bench out in front of my pullup bar, pull myself up, and throw my feet up on the bench to do those Aussie pullups haha! Have a good weekend mate.

Strangely mate I prefer it aha, maximum fat burn
Shit that's a good idea man il try tat out next time I do a pulling workout!

Today my forearms and biceps are totally fried haha! Taking a rest day and spending some quality time with the mrs, will get in a push/leg workout in tomorrow, I'm considering creating my own or merging a couple of madbarz workout in together

Have you been putting your feet up to do those Aussie pullups??? Haha, watch yourself!

Haven't been posting and haven't been training for a while...
Have had loads of personal and professional things getting in the way! Plus work recently has been so labour intensive that when I finish work I feel like I've already been working out for hours haha..
Will update on everything at the weekend probably, and will hopefully get some training in Thursday and Friday.
Off to watch Chris Packham do an animal photography show tomorrow night woohoo

Awesome - post up some pics from the photo show man! I bet you all of your recent training is paying off loads on the job, no?

It was great fun man, it's an ecologist/conservationist called Chris Packham he's a really outspoken animal expert and vegetarian, very famous in the UK me and my friend managed to get a cheeky selfie with him haha
And yeah training is helping, but vice versa it's making my training more difficult as I'm always tired out when I finish work haha

Managed to train today.. Did a push and pull workout and it's completely kicked the shit out of me! I'm in my garden trying to cool off right now! The whole island is shrouded in sea mist... It's like silent hill over here atm it's terrifying haha

One of them is as a butterfly keeper at an Isle of Wight attraction, trust me it's a lot more exciting than it sounds haha
