Hello there chaps! That was a close shave I can tell you! I managed to squeak out of the door and syphon Olivia off before she got a good view of what was going on, or if she did see, she kept it under her hat, well, not hat…

I started this project with the intention of getting fitter and stronger and feeling ready to compete again. I have been making progress and all that, but the general goal had no end date. Until now that is… Well, maybe not an end date as such but certainly a significant interim milestone… OK, what I… Read More Project competition ready just got more important…
You know me, I deadlift above everything, it is a recurring theme of my training.
