I'm reading several of Arnies many works of literature in order to master the psycological techniques needed to compete at the top level

AWG you will confuse sucking in and blowin out your gut and spoil your before and after shots

Papa you will get stung by bees in your final shots blowing up out of all proportion - these bees will have nothing to do with the minions i am currently training up to fly to the west country

Plus Blue wil presumably pose in his new high heeled shoes in some mistaken attempt to curry favour with the members.

I shall have you all, at last i shall have my revenge January Boot Camp is on !

Damn, I just realised I'm not back from holiday until the 4th, and the pics have to be in on the 3rd! Can an exception be made? I'll finish mine a day earlier than everyone else maybe?

D'oh!!  A few weeks later and I'll be starting show prep.  Might enter just to see what I can do with 9 weeks as I'll still be bulking for the first 3.......

I have entered two and dropped out of two so won't be entering and will make progress. Yes, that is the way it works

DOH! My mistake you meant late for the starting photos.

I reckon that would be ok but you can easily enough post form the ship and just do them a day early

I'd love to do it again but it will clash with a particular strongman event I wanted to compete in.

I'm up for it. I'll be bulking until the end of January but that still leaves me with a couple of months to cut.

Take your camera on holiday with you.
Take photos while on holiday with a copy of a local newspaper or something verifying the date.
Send the pics upon your return.

Also just thought on the timings point of view, had intended to get things rolling a lot sooner... starting this weekend, lol! Off rowing for first time in over a decade, should be amusing. If it works out though I'll have 2 sessions a week on the water - back and legs here I come

I will try again and if i dont finish this one then it'll be the end of my gym interest for quite some time, possibly for good...
Ive been considering taking a break from MT as injurys have stopped me going to the gym again. I had planned another go at the gym after xmas so this should be good.

Im in!

Hmm, potentially in. Debating a new-year cut and this may tie in quite well with the dates.
