Nice to see I kept this updated

Nothing major happening training wise.

Been cruisisng since the comp.

12 week training cycle after the comp yielded little gains in strength as i got pleurisy towards the end of it and was layed up for the best part of 2 weeks in bed. 2 weeks holiday and since then OX has been ounishing me in the gym. Added 5kg to squat and 5 kg to bench, deadlift didnt improve.

Not been an outright strength phase, looking at building a better base strength form which to build.

Its workded well and I will see an increase in my Maxes in the coming weeks, circa 245kg squat, 165kg bench and 260kg deadlift, about 35kg on my total in 6 months isnt to be sniffed at.

British finals in May and the plan is to hit  700kg+ total.

Will be blasting into this so its entirely possible. 600-700mg Test E weekly and a 4 week oral leading into the comp, not sure which yet.

Looking for 260kg squat, 180kg bench and 280kg deadlift, that would yield 720kg, ambitous but you go big or go home.

About 7 weeks after the Brits will be Europes and ill be going to that as well.

Going to be a tough 6 months but will be worth it.

TM.... Jenna Jameson... LOL that requires further explanation. Some cool ones there tho.

My Mrs would be well jealous of Gary Newman. A mate and I bumped in to Stephen Fry here in Cambridge once, my mate just gave it a "oh, alright, mate" like he knew him and carried on walking.

In the RAF again, Vegas in 1998 AVN awards were on, loads of us in the Mirage Casino bar and a load of the **** stars came into the bar for drinks and the after party.

Stood next to me at the bar, i tried to hit on her and failed

Loads of other z listers

I'm currently looking into putting solar panels onto my campervan, for when we want to not have to rely on electric hookup.

From what I've read online, you shouldn't need anywhere near 500W for just a stereo and some LED lights. 100W should be more than adequate. Looks pretty simple to set up as well. The expensive part will be the battery, a leisure battery should do the job, however I can't imagine the whole lot being much over £400. Definitely much better off than hooking up to the mains.

There are calculations to be done, you need to work out how much energy you will be using on average per day, which will tell you how big a battery you will need, and then you will be able to calculate what size panel you will need to keep the battery topped up. I'm not good with electronics so you are better off googling that one, but it looked fairly simple from what I've seen.

I put this on my van, works a treat.

Powers the fridge, lights, charges phones etc.

Even in rubbish british summer this kept us going without any issues for a week at a time.
