Hi Gary,

Good to finally meet you too Gary. As for the journey home it was a lot better than the one down and as for J he kept me awake right the way home!!LOL

I like J a lot. He has a lot of very good traditional values and qualities and for that he has my utmost respect. Plus he makes me laugh, we seem to be on the same kind of weird wavelength!!

Thanks for the heads up on the prep too. Its going to be a tough year but I'll be giving it everything.

LOL. No that was for tv, we did another part to it a few weeks back just before I went to America. I like being interviewed by Robbie as I always make him laugh half way through!!

The interview for flex was done inside in the warm surroundings of the bar!:beer1:

UPDATE

Today is Sunday 13th April 2008

I have trained on monday (shoulders) and did some chest on thursday this week with Wade up at Castles gym. Friday, sat and today have been rest days and I am slowly feeling like my body is coming back to life!!!

My chest workout on thursday was light in comparison to what we have been doing but nonetheless it is still sore today after doing more squeezing and isolation work (something I think I need to do more of)

The reason I trained chest this week is that I couldn't really train it properly 2 weeks ago due to my shoulder strain which would have left me only training properly once in around 4 weeks (not the best idea for a weak bodypart)

Anyway tomorrow I am going to train back and will be doing deads but at a lighter weight for the first session with a few more reps plus 2 other execises.

It will be good to train again after 3 days out of the gym and only training twice in 7 days.

I have still done my cardio (mon-fri) for 20 mins pre meal 1, so it has felt like I have been doing something.

I also went for a swim, steam and sauna on friday with a client at the local health spa he/we train at. I forgot how good it felt to relax for an hour. As for swimming, I sank like a stone. Even with a lung full of air lying face down I did not float...I just lay on the bottom!!!
I used to be a club swimmer but muscle is not conducive to floating well esp when your body fat isn't that high either for a bit of bouyancy!!!

I felt relaxed and refreshed after and am going to make sure that at least once a week I make the effort to go and do the same.

Saturday saw me coaching a couple of clients in the morning and the evening was spent chilling.
Friday saw me go to bed at 7pm (wake to eat) and then go back to bed until the morning.
Last night I was in bed by 11 and got up at around 8.15 and took the hound for a walk in the sunshine (which was nice)

I met Nic on friday lunchtime from work for some lunch (Nandos) and will have another 'cheatish' meal today at my parent when we go over for dinner.

My condition at present is about 6-8 weeks out, so I am pleased with where i am at. If I can keep this (which to be honest has been easy) then a 10-12 week diet into the British will see me ready early and shredded by show day. My scales are being 'looked after' for the duration of the diet and I will be going by how I look.

This diet will see me visit Paul B the week before I start (mid to late July) and then once 5-6 weeks in and again 2 weeks out (not that he knows it yet!!!)

An indication of where i am at will be taken at the guest spot at the end of August at the Gravesend show, which i believe is about 7/8 weeks out from the British.

I'll update again tomorrow or tuesday after training back tomorrow.

Have a good rest of the weekend.

You'll have to make it up to the grim north before that buddy. You & Nic are on the VIP guest list for the launch. See you soon my friend.

We will be there my friend, dont you worry.

Any ideas when it should be?

I know....How long is a piece of string?!!

Nine Pack · 13-04-2008, 04:58 PM

Well, we are already on with the building work, so I think the place will be open in the second week in May at the latest. We want to have been open for a month or so before we do a press launch (to get used to the day to day running of the place) so maybe early June?

ARRGGGHHH!!

Im away from the 5th to the 12th June in S France, lets just hope its sooner or later than that, would hate to miss it!

Depending on Nic's work we would either drive (if both of us) or I would fly up alone. Cant wait to finally see what you have achieved and cant wait to have a little train there too.

Are you adding a posing room or such like tucked away from the main gym area?

Sorry I seemed to have hijacked my own thread here.

Glad things are finally getting there tho......

....Off to H's gym this afternoon for a train and also to catch up with Paul Scarb who is meeting H for his review. Be good to see them both and have a natter. I'll be training back and this morning I feel the best I have done in quite some time. Cardio felt nice and easy today and I feel somewhat refreshed, even though yesterday Nic and I spent most of the day cleaning, food shopping and visiting parents...And yes I did my fair share of the house work and even ventured to ASDA's on my own!!

Nine Pack · 14-04-2008, 08:11 AM

Don't worry, I think you'll be able to make it to the launch. We need to give people a lot of notice so it may be later than I predicted. No specific posing room planned (no space left) but we have the studio fully mirrored out & I'll get a couple mounted on pedestals so we can achieve the same effect in the corner of the room.

Enough hijacking. Say hi to Paul from me & give him the heads up for mid/late June.
