Awesome progress mate, looking good.
Id probably cut if it was down to me, its summer and all...
Anyway, keep it up :) When did you have your metabolism tested and where? What were the results (Dont want to go through 80pages of journal  )

Hey Drew!
Still at the gp stage. They cannot decide whether is actually is psoraisis or not, some seem to think it is and others think its excema.
I was given betnovate a few days ago which is making a difference!
Do you have it?
ps. enjoying red fox! 
update -
hurt my back a bit doing 90kg OH - seen the physio. I've got to be honest i have absolutely no confidence in any of the physio's i have seen. Im sure my problems are muscular imbalance/posture related but physio's just seem to ignore that however much i go on about it.
I'm tempted to see a chiro now, but im worried about wasting more money.
I can say that the only things that have helped my back are things i've worked out for myself and stuff i've read online.
soooooooo frustrating. I just want to be able to exist without constant aching.
Drew do you have any experience with chiros?
training was a bit different today
Decline cgbp - worked up to 100kg, then back to 90kg, then a back off with 60kgx20
narrow dips ss band extensions
face pulls ss push ups ss push up plus (serratus push up)
BB curls
Plate holds
cheers
Tom

Not much to report really.
Training has been dodgey for one reason or another.
Did some Jerking with a friend the other day (lol<<<) and it just reinforced what ive felt for a few weeks now - i want to go back and do OL stuff again. I would not hesitate if my body was not so messed up.
Physios have done nothing to help, so im going to try a chiro and take things from there.
I dont like training for body image, messes with my head wayyyyyyy to much for my liking.
anyhoo - may not be training for a little bit as my body's not feeling too clever and i have to get it sorted.
so...
If anyone knows any excellent chiros or anyone that can take a indepth look at me and where all my injury problems are coming from please let me know!
Im based in the midlands atm.

Just dropped by Tom,
Damn impressive mass you've put on mate, keep up the good work. I agree with the others that you look lean enough to put a little more mass on, or do a short cut 
Take it easy
-Rich-
Cheers Rich!
Yeah im still "bulking" but its not really extreme bulking - im ~87kg atm.
I'll be honest im not sure where the hell i want to go with my training.
- continue the quest for size
- Start olympic weightlifting exclusively
- lose fat
etc...
Im lost, lol.
All the best
Tom

Thanks mate!
Im focusing mainly on technique atm rather than weight.
Its difficult to say as ive not focused soley on it but i think if you trained hard in the OL lifts and ate well you would not only build a great physique but some insane strength too.
Check out these boys!
The chinese lifters throw in some assistance stuff to i believe.
Tom

That's a good effort on the pikes.
There's a vid of me doing pikes and other hanging abs stuff in my journal if anyone doesn't know what they are.

That's an awesome session mate. Don't worry about the squats, just build them back up slowly, how is the back now?
Oh and enjoy dublin
