Thanks Peter. Yes it was just a combination of getting out of habit, and my password, which i cannot remember, is auto-stored on my old laptop which i am using right now. Normally i use a tablet, but cant access the forum due to password. Yes we are well thanks. I am very thankful to have a home gym...

Chris is a big miss. So helpful, so un-selfish, so talented, so funny, so genuine, a treasure of knowledge. I shall treasure his Mario Lanza tshirt print he made me forever. I think of him every time i do the "Stick Hangs" - hanging from pull up bar at end of workouts.

I can count on one hand the people in my lifetime who really believed in me. Who really spurred me on, with not...

Yesterday i was away for the day so got the chance to visit a gym, about 45 mins from home. I was very pleased with its facilities. Everything there that a muscleman or powerlifter could ever want. No wonky incline benches, no dodgy dumbbells, and well maintained machines. Plenty of plates. One thin...

Tuesday Another less than stellar workout on pinch. Hmm. Yet the leg workout from hell yesterday was that brutal my hips ached in the evening. It started out with a super easy warm up and then I hit the wall on the heavy stuff. The only other difference to my routine was a short early-ish visit to ...
