It's been a pleasure hanging out with you guys. I feel like my log has come to a conclusion with the 300kg pull.

May your GainzZz be plentiful.

Thanks.

Wow. This comes as a surprise.

If you're still there and viewing the responses to this last post, I would have to ask you one question:
Do you think that your "Attempt to start strength" has been successful?

Best wishes, Derf!
