I've decided to compete in a novice lifting comp on 7th Nov. Full steam ahead.

good work RB - that tickles my fancy too - a lifting comp, but would have to get my dodgy shoulder sorted for heavy weights. 
 
Bench, squad and deadlift type of thing??

NETFIT Gym, Ellersilie Auckland 8am

Mini Stronngman Class[/b] 60 minutes 
 
One word Awesome. Ive never been physically so smashed in the last decade. Ended the session lying on my back sucking in the big ones. 
 
We worked in blocks (had to complete each one under 2 mins) doing 4x25 metre shuttles/relays of combined exercises: Farmers walks, various sleds exercises, sprints, tyre Flipping.... Most challenging and enjoyable workout Ive had for yonks. I felt sick for an hour afterwards. Awesome. I hit the wall during the last challenge but somehow managed to finish. 
 
Also went to the Get Strength Workshop in Onehunga to get some lifting harnesses that arvo. If youre into weights the Get Strength HQ is like heaven. They design and fabricate specialist weight machines and Strongman equipment which they supply to most NRL clubs, all S14 franchises and many ANZ Cup unions not to mention the Bulls in Pretoria. 80% of their sales head offshore! Met the owner who is a former NZ Powerlifter and record holder. In just 10 minutes he improved my bench, squat and deadlift technique beyond my wildest imagination.

Not sure actually. Im guessing around the 108 mark, thats where I usually sit. Need to find a reliable set of scales and stick with them. Been inspried watching the latest series of The Biggest Loser (Couples), Aussie Edition. Sounds like porn when I read it like that! Anyway ive been recording it while at work and watching it every night. Because Im a cheat Ive already been to the website and looked at all the after photos. The results are incredible. The old fella who won lost about 90kgs!

BartMan

RB - Mrs bought some Tanita (I think) brand scales that do weight. body water and BF measurements. the first two pretty accurate, the last one varies heaps...!! THey would be worth it I think - bought them when she was doing Jenny Craig, they are the bomb when it comes to scales.

Around 95 or 96 kegs would be great for me I reckon. Thats about 15 stone in the old money (95.254 to be precise).

It then spirals out of control!! 
 
But not really, loved it, and loving it.

Starting to feel in better shape now, can feel some new muscles and have lost abit of jubba. Broke my toe on the 800LB tyre I have been flipping on my back lawn though. May make running a no go for a few weeks. Damnit. Slowly getting back into the groove, eating is better and starting to get the old spring back in the step. Must be the good weather we're having.

Hey RB - would be keen to do that one weekend - have never climbed the mt.
