Thanks TFB

DOn't use that 'd' word it's a 'lifestyle choice'....yea right :roll: .... how many times do you have to say it to believe it ???

It's ok actually have been pretty strict on myself, tho I think I'm overcompensating with a bit too much fat.

In saying that the weight is slightly down but lost 4cm off both waist and belly measurements this week so somethings happening

Ooops, my bad, you'd have thought I'd have learned that by now.... but maybe I should adhere to it as strictly as you do Nessie, 4cm losses is wicked good

And what an awesome workout, huge front-squats for reps, and a top finish ! Well done :salute:

[bigdogbob]

Tonight

Workouts for next week have been announced - will be awesome to see the individual competitors slog it out..it's a real test of hardness!!!!

For the teams a bit disappointing, only 2 wods a day and some only for 1 man 1 woman, no whole team wods so it will be hard to get everyone having a fair go as well as making your team do the best.

Yea it's a bit like that...you start and everything else is like "why did I ever waste my time with that????"
