Notice bit more detail coming through now, still havnt got under the weight but few more weeks to go yet, so not bothered as long as getting more ripped!! Cardio is twice daily now am and after last meal. Tired but wouldnt have it any other way!!!!

Is the tired due to lack of sleep, too much exercise or low food, do you think?

Photoshoot at RIPPED GYM-HARLOW.
Met up with James, Ricardo,Helder and Simon Cohen yesterday for a few snapshots by Fivos.
As always with Fivos he wants the best out of you, so this was like another workout! The gym itself is well stocked with Hammer strength and Cybex equipment, with tons of weight and big dumbells, and they made us all feel right at home, will be making a trip down again for a workout, if you live nearby or fancy a trip to a top gym, i suggest you check this one out.
Simon is off to the states this weekend, so is in top nick and Ricardo is fresh from his middleweight win at the ukbff Leicester, so he to was in great shape. Helder and I held our own of course!! James kept his top on, but he was dying to have a posedown.
Met up with Lee Spencer who trains and works at the gym, he is doing the U100kg class at the Brit also, so i checked out the compertion as he ws me!! Nice fella, had a good chat but probably wont speak to each other till after pre-jugeing!! lol.
This was all done for Muscletalk and they own the pics, so am sure will be seeing some on here real soon..............
