Not sure if your nose is supposed to bleed at any point in a workout? Is that the new measure of intensity? LOL

You'd be surprised mate - I've seen pics of powerlifters with blood all over their faces after a big lift.

yeah i saw britains strongest man on sunday morning from 2007 and on the deadlifts one of them burst a blood vessell on the deadlifts

don't get me wrong he was lifting a little bit more then me but if i remember right i think i may have asssisted it a bit with a bit of picking action

i did change the rep range from 4x8 to 3x5 so the weights were a bit heavier so it could have been the intensity i suppose

Your Military Press is impressive, man! 71.5k is better than my 60 by a long-shot!

Hope you're ok after your little problem with the squats!

cheers pal

i have had bad DOMS in my glutes all day so i must have done something on the squats, i didn't think i'd hit 71.5 on the military though i'll be honest, especially seen as it is only 1kg off my pb and is for 2 more reps

i think they did but didn't want to mention it, we don't want big heads around when theres balls to be handled do we?

Your inclines are better than your bench.

rugby training

mainly consisting of

ball work drills
fitness drills
about 30 minutes on the scrum machine
2 on 1 tackling

* i found myself dropped to my knees on one of the srums (when we had 8 in) i'm not sure if i slipped or what, apart from that i was ok
* i got flattenned by the big lad on the tackling, he just ran at me so the next time i went for his mate (who's a bit smaller) to make the bigger lad think i was a 5hithouse, then next time i went for him
didnt manage to go through him though, stopped him though

good stuff
