Mini Forklift Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 They have definately died off a little but every now and then we still get a reminder that we live in earthquake central. Some people get really stressed over them, however I refuse to be confined or defined by them. Reference Number: 3708868 NZST: Sun, May 20 2012 9:35 am Magnitude: 4.1 Depth: 10 km Details: 20 km west of Christchurch Reference Number: 3709033 NZST: Sun, May 20 2012 5:06 pm Magnitude: 4.8 Depth: 7 km Details: 20 km east of Christchurch That second one was a rock n roller, probably because the depth was shallow.

Mini Forklift Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Sorry to hear about the phone mate. There are some real scumbags out there!Anything I say is going to sound a bit lame and predictable but I hope you manage to get it back. Did you manage to get any of the photos backed up to pc . If you had iPhone did you have it set up for the cloud with backups automatically backed up to this?Thanks Doug. Nah, I'm a bit old school when it comes to phones. I don't like Apple stuff, have been a loyal Nokia user for years. Didn't have anything backed up, although I did have a young girl text a couple of my friends on Sunday night saying that she had found my SIM card lying on the floor outside the mall; just waiting for her to drop it back to me. That will save a lot of hassle and time not having to retype everybody's number into the new phone! Saw that photo this morning on Facebook promoting World Vegetarian week, thought it was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cown Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've enjoyed a few veggie quotes from Einstein before, but was he actually vegetarian? lol I've never even thought about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've enjoyed a few veggie quotes from Einstein before, but was he actually vegetarian? lol I've never even thought about that.Not for all of his life, but it seems that for a good portion of it he was. Here are a couple of other quotes by Einstein... "It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." "Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'll be cutting cardio right back now as I need to get my weight back on and my strength up. For the next few months I'm looking forward to some hard training with a little more of a BB'ing/physique slant, strength is still important to me (I'm sure it always will be) but at this stage I can't see myself doing another PL'ing meet in 2012. When I get back on the PL'ing stage I want to be able to dominate, first place should be a relatively straightforward task. To do that I need to be operating at 100%, completely injury free and with the right mindset... I'm not there yet and I'm not too proud to admit that. Arms & shoulders are up next...

Mini Forklift Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 Wait a damn minute, there's something missing in this log...what weight are you lifting??Haha, nice one eagle-eyes! I had a decent bit of time off from the weights as I got a bit burnt out from my last two back-tp-back meets. Just been cruising back into things and not concerning myself with what I'm lifting (well, more like what I'm not lifting). Will start rewriting the weights in from next week, thanks for checking in buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I just got some samples of the Vega range, gotta say I love them. Thanks so much for sorting that out Robert, expect and order soon once I have tried them all out. Taste & mixability is superb and I really like the serving of Omega's in there that you don't get with regular proteins. Top notch stuff! I will be hitting up arms later tonight, just getting in a good day of eating first. Funny how something simple can motivate you. I just changed my profile photo on Facebook to my Raw PL'ing certificate and seeing that 415kg total really got me thinking... I can beat that.

The PhytoAthlete Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey MF, Great journal, I just found it and read through it today. The first thing I noticed is your low resting heart rate. When you do your cardio, do you wear a heart rate monitor and if so, do you ever check your heart rate recovery times, say for example how much your heart rate drops at 1 minute of rest during a cardio workout? Your resting heart rate is so good and with your past experience in marathons etc, I was just interested in hearing your recovery rate times if you keep track of it. Thanks for the interesting journal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
