Haha - for such a fat-boy, you are still lookin' really bumpy. Delts are huuuuuuuge, as seen as you collapsed to the ground. Nice opportunity to work on getting some rays for your next bodybuilding comp.

BTW, you'd make a great Farmer - they all have powerbelly's as well. Look at it this way - you would always have lots of fresh food!!

Thanks Jim. Yeah for all that I still have winter insulation around the midriff, I'm packing muscle everywhere else

Way harder than walking with dumbells which is what I used to do at my old gym. Good challenge.

Good to hear my videos help. I feel like I'm improving my technique all of the time and the videos definitely help.

But thats nothing new for you, big guy.

Thanks Tom. After taking a long rest at the turnaround, I really wanted to make it all of the way back in one go but grip was dying and then the handles crossed over and messed me up. I'll get it next time in two

Thanks S'back. I'm working up on these and would like to be at 120kg's per hand at the end of the year.

I estimate it was around that yeah. Closest I come to cardio at the moment

I only realised that Gary had added the colour commentary after I uploaded it. I give all of my crew enough shit to make up for it but I'm sure you can join in

Great session today. Had to get everything done in an hour to make it back for the in-laws so put all assistance into a giant set to make extra time. For this wave of assistance I will be squatting against blues for 3 weeks and waving the weights and sets up as I go. Speed was good and actually got better as I went through the sets. Always a good sign. The giant set was brutal and NOTE TO CARL: elevated weighted planks are where it's at they are CRAZY hard. The farmers we did because it was nice and sunny outside and also because, as I mentioned in Swede's log last night, I need to get moving a bit more to feel healthy again. They are great fun to do. Challenging to keep them balanced and moving but as you can see from the video, very taxing

Now resting until max effort bench on Tuesday, baby arrival pending

I'm feeling the same right now Al. No matter how much I kill myself with the weights, I am still lacking cardiovascular endurance, which limits me.

Exactly my thoughts. My Dad is building me a tire sled and I plan on getting out to do some more hill sprints as well, baby permitting

Good session Al, and good that you people also are on the path of cardio for health, we can motivate each other of nothing else :P

I'm pretty sure we'll need all of the motivation we can get cos it's BORING! Static lifting is way more fun.

Yeah I'm just trying to tone up for summer Jim

Good session LtL! The farmers walks looked killer. I can relate as far as needing to get up and get moving a bit. It's good to get the oxygen flowing in the blood stream.
You and the Mrs getting anxious about the baby yet?
