Just re-entering the FB quagmire myself, due to needing to communicate with my Venturers. Already questioning this......... Hope the scan goes well and everything is clear!

Hahahaha, love this!

Weight loss Buddies, my Dr has insisted I lose weight because everything I have going on is weight related............but, bugger him, I want to drop the weight for the competitions next year. Two weight classes if I can! Yessss to Paleo/Primal. He wanted me to do the shakes thing.........just no. Tried to explain to him that my training sort of needed me to eat real food, he was shocked that I was powerlifting, although we have had this conversation many times. I'm also A-neg, never thought anyone could be allergic to beef mmmmmmmm steak!!! Great news about Brother.

Yeah, the only reason I have gone back to FB is because the Venturers all communicate this way, and I need to get camp information or activity information out, and e-mail I soooooo yesteryear Ensuite bathroom, bathroom attached to main bedroom, we have a spa, I just think it is a hassle to keep dust free and clean. My partner loves it, me, not so much.

Bit the social media bullet, yes I am now on Face Book. Mixed feelings on this. I thought Instagram was cool, my last experience with FB sucked.

Just keep breathing, it'll be ok on the day!

You could be that guy! Here's hoping he has an epic playlist!

Pure Morning!

LOL, no bacon, but Son1 made the family tacos! Such a good kid!

Fly out day, a trip to the big smoke and back! So tired now, must be time to get these little Lads home.

Hope work is better today.

In the middle of all the craziness that is life, sometimes a physical and mental break can do wonders to just kickstart everything back into awesome! Not to mention PARIS!!!!!!

Utilised the spa in my ensuite for the first time in about 2 years, not sure if it was enjoyable or not.

I follow her on Instagram, such a great inspiration and motivator!

Welcome to the forum, seems you have things worked out! You are so right about letting diet get out of hand due to the pursuit of gains! Seems a lot of the Warriors are trying a cut at the moment, myself included. In reality, we can't bulk forever...............or can we?

Woke up this morning and didn't feel too bad, my hands however are sore, my callouses are raised and there are red marks running the length of my fingers, I think it may be the knurling on the short bar, which is a lot rougher than the long bar. Other than that, feeling pretty good!

Fuck yeah Guzzi, awesome!

So this is your first?

I can't even........ What the.........?

I love low bar squats, my hammies and gluteus do not I do however have front squats programmed in and will do them in my other program just to keep the quads awake and things fresh.

Finding myself with Monday rage and all before 0800. Blood tests, go in mega early, 0745, as I am walking through the car park an elderly lady gets out of her car and walks in behind me, as we get to the waiting room she turns into the little alclave reserved for people who may not feel so well after blood tests, and as soon as the phlebotomist walks out she yells, and I mean yells, "Me first" so the vamire takes her into the bloodletting dungeon, takes at least 15 minutes, second elderly guy walks in and goes to the little private bloodletting room, announces he is here and he is next........WTF, invasion of privacy and utter rudeness, not like he couldn't see me and now 2 others waiting in designated waiting room! Go to Chemist/Pharmacy/Drugstore? To pick up prescription and ventolin for Roly, as I am waiting in line, old girl walks straight past the 3 of us in line with Drop Off sign over our heads, goes straight to counter and tells assistant she will only talk to the pharmacist and insists she be dealt with NOW. Hmmmmm. Why do people do that?

Love, love, love the light coming into your office, our school room is a dungeon, even with skylights, it has no windows......... Photoshoot, you are going to nail it! No doubt here.

So many DOMS today, my hammies are trying to kill me!

There are good days and there are bad days! Personally I think heat has a great deal to do with shitty lifting. I know that for myself, I fatigue quicker in the heat, so much sweat and if I don't continually drink it just gets worse. To work against the natural behaviour of move as little as possible when it's hot, takes a lot of mental and physical effort. Don't take it to heart, you were just trying to out lift our natural instincts! That in itself is a bloody big ask!
