Gym Rats Festive and New Years Meet - 12th January 2013

Nice write up :cool:

T'was a great day!

Apologies to my team for my shambolic performance on the bench. As soon as I'd committed to 120 I realised how stupid it was, given that a) I benched on friday, b) I've not done 120 for anything over 3 reps before, c) I've not done touch and go reps for 3 months. My 6 reps was actually a PB! lols

Great to see you all, some for the first time (this didn't stop me from delivering sweet thumb justice to Skill's pecs...). I'm also glad that there are shots of UE next to us mere mortals, the guy is a tank. Would have been nice to talk to everyone properly at/after the meal, but there's always next time.

Next time, more socially awkward pose down pictures are needed.

Also, did nobody else have a whole chicken?!

I felt like a glutton on my table. Well, I am a glutton, but you know... chicken.

Can't sniff at 120x6 though that was still strong.

So much for it not hurting today...........

Strongmen session, beer food and sleep then Sunday we go lift some natural welsh stones!
 
Fantastic write up Steedie & thanks for organising this in the first place.

I'm really looking forwards to the next meetup. I might be a little sore today though; back, arms and legs haha.
 
Man I'd have loved to have been there - looked cold though (but then again I train with long sleeves and joggers!).

Looked awesome fun - looks like my chin record hasn't been beaten though :cool: :p :D

I hope there's another one soon and one to which I can turn up!
