[HumanPerformance]

Yeah was good to see you Troy, even if the weights you were lifting were a bit girly :pfft:

With the people you are surrounding yourself with and your levels of self motivation it wont be long before you are up there with the big guys. You have to remember you are a natural lifter to mate which cant be said for some of the guys you are competing against.

[Viking Power]

Cheers HP good to see you to mate....
