Ravi - Thanks buddy!

Mike - Cheers buddy, PR'd in everything this month! I don't think I'll be as lucky next month.

Al - Haha cheers man. Pretty sure I'll be backing down to some building work from now.

Hunter - Thanks for your support as always That middle area of the gym is a bit more well lit lol, also I found the uber light function on my camera!

Hazz - Yes I like it! I will do more! Maybe intersperse some random thoughts there as well, sort of like a blog.

At the moment I'm getting my training worked out by a guy called Tom Martin, he's the young lad who beat Ed Coan's 30 year old junior record. First time in my life I've ever had a proper coach, it's a fun experience.

haha Oh I know who Tom Martin is, that's awesome.

I like that training philosophy, it seems like a great one when not training for a specific meet. How long do your sessions typically last?

Enjoying the commentary. Keep it up.

Great lifting but there's an absence of whiskey in your world

Did you do a write up or interview with Tom Martin before or was that Steve? The guy is a beast!

[Fazc]

Ravi - Video was very clear today

Nacho - Thanks!

Dave - About 60-90 minutes.

Steve - Thanks, I will.

Kuyt - Massive lack of whisky in my life at the moment.

That was Steve a while back, I covered Rob Palmer.

Very happy with Squat form today, nice and deep and controlled. The warm ups and stretching prior to training helped a lot. Reps were still pretty challenging, but I should be feeling better by the end of the week.

Video with lifts and rambling

Squats looked solid today. Ramble on.

Nice commentary. Two things to note for me:

1. I always thought you were and are capable of a lot more. If you keep the extra mass on (filling the t-shirt nicely), you'll be doing some serious damage on the raw platform this year.
2. Please can I have more info on what stretching you're doing as part of you warm-ups. I am including more into mine but would like to remove some of the hit and miss nature of it if I can.

Thanks.
