Well done Nessie! :clap: Do you think you would open your own crossfit no you are allowed?

How is your arm doing?

[bigdogbob]

Hmmmmm could be on the cards

The arm is still bothering me but its just a case of heaps of mobility work around the joint cos it's being caused by tightness in the forearm mostly so smashing it with a ball and stick seems to be helping.

Ol' age my friend :evil:
