[ExtraMile]

down to 203.5 and lookin less bloated!

also Iv planned out how Ill get back into squatting, Im gonna start at very high volume with not much weight and work down until Im in very low reps with alot of weight. This will allow my to work back into the heavier weight. I have my reps planned out for each week and cant wait. Back is gettin better since Iv stopped squatting or deadlifting all together and started using this heat rub stuff. Gonna get a foam roller too...

I gotta ask, why is your username the name of what appears to be a convenience store chain?

I made the name because I was trying to think of one and saw an advert in a magazine for like an energy drink or something and it said "push that extra mile" thats where I got the idea from. Then tblock posted a link saying there was actually a gas station called that so I put the link in my signature lol

oh yeah guys forgot to say the bad news


MY GYM IS CLOSING DOWN ON THE 9TH OF AUGUST ::

it is moving to another location, which would be too far for me to get to by bike. The only way it wont move is if they can get some funding from somewere that will allow them to buy all new gym equipment to fill the building that is currently being used as the gym, since all the equipment is being taken to the new place. I think they still have the dumbells, smith machine and cable crossover station from before it was all newly updated at the beginning of 2010 but since the council arnt interested in taking on the gym it doesnt look like they will find the funding in the next 3 weeks...

If/when it closes I will be forced to find a new gym, which will be two or three times as expensive and it will mean I have to get the bus to and from there every workout which will kinda suck...

today is my carb up day, goin campin with a friend so Iv taken lots of food, and quite a bit of fast carbs just because they're so easy to snack on. Biscuits, pringles, dried fruit, wholemeal bread etc. Then the day after is quads and abs and thinking of starting squatting again...
