Went to Kent Klassic yesterday and had a nice time with Welshy :-0

Also met James and was v.embarrassed he didn't recognise me in the slightest... :-(

Sorry!  I thought you'd be taller!

I meet so many people at these shows.  Nice to meet you though

Sorry not popped in here for a while. Sounds like you're injury prone at the moment.....smacks on noses and cuts on toes!!!

That's ok, you're busy winning a pro card ;-)

Not inury-prone, just what happens when you do fight training... I love counting up all my bruises etc! lol...

Have you named them yet ? Borris is a good name for a bruise

Howdy doody!!!!!

So how come the lower rep stuff? I have to say I cut my chest workout right down (due to injury and needs must) and I REALLY like it!

 Sounds like you're injury prone at the moment.....smacks on noses and cuts on toes!!!

Is that from the sequel to The Sound Of Music where Maria takes up cage fighting?
The GroundnPound Of Music

"Bruises on noses and cuts on your toes,
Fat lips and tooth chips so that they shows,
Big broken fingers tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things"

Hey Tan!

Am liking the new challenge but not liking how weak I've actually become in some of my bigger bodyparts (namely Chest, legs and Back)!

Arms and Shoulders have definitely become stronger, so it's nice to work with higher weights than I've ever done before; but the other three, from where I used to train them hard and heavy years ago, and know what I could lift then, the weights have actually come down from that time which SUCKS!!! But I'll keep working away at it. I'm going to work low rep for about 6 weeeks I think.

Trained Arms today and will post workout later on this evening
:-)

Jedi - maybe... Depends how good I get I guess... And whether I can handle taking a proper pasting.

Luckily Carl used to teach martial arts for a living, so we've got all the gear here to pad me up and he can take a 'semi' swing at me at the weekend and see how I take being hit.

From last week's escapade with Miss I Can't Control my Punches, I would imagien I'll cope quite well :-D

'kin 'ell

Don't forget, when seated, the bar only goes to the knees, not full extension :-)

Granted but they should also be a much stricter movement than full standing curls and fantastic for constant tension in the bicep as opposed to throwing the focus around onto front delt and brachio-radialis which full curls do in my opinion.
I really rate them and wouldn't dream of dropping them
...I can only really manage 30kg properly though

You are scary strong.

LOL Jedi. Flick starring in Sound of Music sequel.....me likes

I'd be a permanent bruise if I did any form of combat sport.....I get bruises on my forearms by holding a disc when I do hyper extensions!!!

Carl is a big bruise too, his go all yellow - love it :-D

BIT WORRIED i MIGHT HAVE HUBBIE-BEATER TENDENCIES... :-/
