Sat 6th June: Forced Rest Day

Had a sorehead all day and when this happens it usually gets worse until I end up throwing up. Probably a cloud with a silver lining as I have a stiff back and the RHS of my neck is quite sore since last week.

Gym owner phoned to say a top US lifter is either in town for a while or for good and was looking a place to train with bumpers. If I heard his name right he seems to be snatching 130-140kg and C&Jing 160+kg at 94kg class. Looking forward for someone to train with if he decides to come and our training times work out.

Need to get back soon, Brendan's cleans are improving. His brother, Sean, has now also decided to start training so there is a good little group of guys pushing each other on. Both of them have blogs. We are also trying to get a bit of fire into Colin Bell's belly to get him pushing his lifts on too.

Also in last couple of weeks we have had two guys enquire through the forum that are interested and are from Belfast area and I have got them in contact with Ronnie. So more people young and not so young looking to get interested in lifting in NI which is refreshing.

  1. Last Saturday 30th May, i got a pb c+j despite a hangover from hell without alcohol and even had to take 3 doses of pain killer, all from the heat, so don't be a you know what...

    Though maybe its wiser not to train with such condition!!

  2. Yes Pete. Your enthusiasm is driving us all on. Maybe a few days break is what you need. Rest aching limbs and come back this week fresher than ever
