monster recovery mission

[drizzt]

thought the gym had 70kg db's. would have liked to give them a go for db rows but couldnt find them.

Nah, pretty sure they only run up to 65s (the "plate" ones that aren't on the racks). Don't think I've ever seen 70s....

The sheep was last spotted flying off to San Francisco on his way to Las Vegas which may explain why there was a large gas explosion near the airport.

[nzmusclemonster]

Cheers for the birthday wishes. not feeling so young these days though.

Been in L.A. and San Diego for the past week. Just got to San Fran and about to head off to a giants baseball game.

Not far to go now until the Mr O...... stay tuned for nzmm's exclusive coverage!

On a training front..... I didn't want to embarrass all the small guys at muscle pit on venice beach, so I just let them have their moment in the sun and moved on.

Monday 4/10/10

After 3 weeks off and eating 2 meals a day and several alcoholic beverages a day it was back into the thick of it. We had various tests at rugby today.

Weighed in at 95kg (lost 4kg in 3 weeks :x )

Bench press - 140kg

Squat - 180kg

Chin ups - 18 (reverse grip)

Prone bridge - 3 mins 10 secs.

Fairly strictly judged so quite happy with those numbers.

[TonganTerror]

3minute bridge is mean bro :nod: :nod:
