    6kg on? Sounds good to me!

    I am back in full training now after a few injuries. Started back yesterday, smashed it. Did a session today, and I have a power session on Wednesday. Thursday will be a rest, then it's back to it Friday and possibly Saturday.

    Working on lots of mobility exercises too recently - I have developed lots of tight muscle problems due to lack of exercise, and mobility work is really sorting them out.

    Need to add more bulk now I think, when I started this in November I was under 80kgs at 6ft 3 and now Im tipping 87kg. I seem to be struggling to get any size now though. I just dont seem to be able to bench oir lift heavy weights, IE I am not very strong :cool:

    Before this pic last week and in November I had no chest whatsoever and no size on my arms at all.

  • Its a few months since my last post and I have been a bit of a naughty boy. My ex said I could have my girls for a week during the school holidays so I took them to Florida to my sisters house and did Universal Studios etc, no expense spared : (. Most of it I paid cash but there is a big chunk gone on the credit card £1800 to be exact, I took £1300 cash for food etc. I arrived back two weeks ago and have already paid of £900 from the credit card and the balance then transferred to a 0% rate Barclaycard have now offered me.

    I will knuckle down and get sorted, it was an amazing time just me and my two daughters and we all had a brilliant time. I know camping in Devon etc would have been just as good but with very little outgoings at the moment It was probably a once in a lifetime chance for me to do it.

    My ex had the cheek to ring whilst I was away and ask for an advance on the Child Maintenance, grrrrr
