Garth

Haha, brilliant. Only just seen this! I like that we inadvertently follow each other around the internet. I'm good thanks, just got back from a month travelling Central America which was fantastic. How about your good self?

I'm thinking of going as the Ice King from Adventure Time. Just need to sow myself a robe first!

When ROH came to the UK I went and it was amazing. Even though the card got shuffled around due to Austin Aries getting injured, they put on a hell of a show. It was their Anarchy in UK show, and ended up with two Bryan Danielson matches with him defending his title against SUWA and then later on Roderick Strong. Here's a little promo video of the event if anyone is interested: I was right opposite the hard camera in the front row of a raised area, so I can pretty much see myself for the entire event, which makes for weird viewing. Did you end up seeing much of yourself Terosx? What matches took place?

I used to be G-Money on the old board, and since it moved just Garth. Never a prolific poster or anything but was a member dating back to about 2003.

I speak of it in the past tense as I've jumped ship and lurk over at DVDR now. Still drop in on TSM from time to time though.

I'm back living in Salisbury, Wiltshire. Not much going on here, but if anyone ever fancies a trip to Stonehenge or Salisbury cathedral let me know!

Haha, of course! Congrats on your team (almost definitely) getting through to the finals! I haven't really followed the heartland series, but I'm going to try and pay a bit more attention and get out to see some other leagues in action now that I have a car again.

Just thought I'd drop in and say hi. Love the Delirious avatar. Did you used to post at TSM?

She's one hell of a coach (and an incredibly nice person too) so shame you had to miss out. I'm sure there's plenty of other people involved with derby on the boards, I remember chatting to a couple in the past. Looking forward to champs next month?

Really wasn't expecting to come into the thread and see it started by someone from SRT! Tiger Bay Brawler NSO here. My favourite nerdy derby name is probably JK Rolling.

Cheers, Timmy.

I'm in the UK so no Walmarts to speak of here. I will look out for some though.

Not that I've seen anywhere, was just doing them off of the smith machine bench press thing. I will have a look/ask to see if they have anything like that.

Thanks for the words of wisdom, everybody. I asked today, and despite the sign saying not barbell work outside the cage, they're happy for me to do OHP on the outside and to slide a bench on under there for the bench press. I'm so glad, as I'm not sure what I would have done if they'd said no. Really enjoyed today's workout, both the deadlift and squat are starting to feel heavy now and I'm loving it. The OHP and bench are lagging, but it was only workout no.3 so I don't think it'll be a big deal. As well as the starting strength routine, I also tacked on some inverted rows at the end. Found even high up I couldn't do the 8 suggested by Steve in the article about working towards pull ups, so going to go back and work my way through the dumbell rows. Looking forward to Monday and getting back in the gym again.

If they're fine with my doing bench in the cage, would it be terrible if I just forgo the OHP?
