I'm sure everyone can learn from the vast amount of information presented here over the last six months, but can also see that you have shown that hard work and discipline are the most important tools for success in bodybuilding.

Go kick some USA **** and fight for every pose.

All the best mate

Lee

Hey Lee,

Good to see you on here and thankyou so much for your kind words. I'll do my very best and I hope your 'downtime' has served its purpose and you will be gracing the pro stage again very soon.:lift:

The chest advice is working well but as with most things in this sport 'Rome wasn't built in a day!

All the best to your family too, I hope they are all well and healthy

Looking great in those pics James - good luck for next week. I'll not be online here for a week so looking forward to catching up on this thread when I'm back. Bring home some gold!

We spoke again last night and she'll be coming down to see my wife and me in the week we get back. She'll also be bringing a camera with her to do a screen test to take back and show 'the team'
She also wants to see me train, so I'll be taking her down to the gym and show her around....If she's going to become a fixture for a few months whilst filming better introduce her to the gym now, dont want too much of a shock for her later!!!:lift:

I'll try to update whilst away but you know what its like.

Thankyou, we will see come friday morning. You never know for sure until you are tanned up and under those lights!!!

Remember too that we can all look good in the gym when standing alone, the real test comes when you are standing with other quality competitors. If you still look good then, that's when you can smile!!

(prefereably not 40Kg Dumbells to pump up with though cos thatll screw the luggage allowance!)

Thanks Phil, I'll keep in touch with you and let you know. I was thinking more along the lines of the 60kg ones for a few side raises back stage:crazy:
