In the gym today, I was being watched by some young stud whilst I struggled in the rack, I figured he just wanted the rack, and eventually when I left the rack to do chins, he put on some squat shoes and (expensive shiny ones) and a belt. He put the belt on his hips like round his pelvis, and proceeded to start doing single leg split squats with a 3 inch range of motion, and 2 14kg dumbbells. At least he looked happy. I still don't know why he was staring.

I also gave blood today, first time ever and I feel like shit now. That's what I get for trying to help!

Heavy weekend, so kept it very light.

Hi Mark
Just to let you know there is a lifting camp in Scotland later this year.
