FOR MOTHER RUSSIA!

:pfft: :pfft: :pfft: :pfft: kool avatar :grin:

Fantastic numbers Rach! :clap: :clap:

thanks mate :D

If its not bruising on the arms from your shirt, marks on the legs from your suit then its blown blood vessels in the face 8)

Earning your keep this cycle 8)

Mother Russia roars....

Hmm yes I have blown vessels on my face for the first time :oops: and yes I did roar...well grunt..felt a bit primal really :lol:

Это верно, Мать Россия любит Вас!

classic :lol:

Nice work, the pair of you! The look on Bar-Belle's face after that 67.5 says "Satisfaction" with a Capital S, and probably some cheesecake !

Yes satisfaction but it has taken me two 8 week cycles just to begin to have a bit of confidence in myself and the shirt.

Cheesecake...no...home made sticky date pudding and icecream...YES!!

Looking good for a big 1st Auckland Champs and looking foward to seeing bigger things to come.

Cheers Corey...yes I have got some numbers I want to hit for Auck Champs but for now it's back to basics for this girl.

Nice work BB - how were those 65kg benches? Seems like you've well-and-truly conquered the previous 67.5kg demon ?

Thanks TFB. I think I'm finally learning to use the power of the shirt and be a bit more explosive of the chest. The shirt has way more in it but the wearer is still weak :lol: and needs to get more tricep strength..well overall strength really to take it to it's full potential.
