Damn mate, were having around 0C up here, sun is shining, it hasn’t really for the last couple of weeks, so we’ve been living in semi darkness.
Oh I miss summer 
One should live 6 month on each side of the world.
My friend (a Kiwi) has a 21 year old son who has been in NZ last winter, this summer he was back in DK, left late autumn and went back to NZ, and headed to AUS Melbourne a couple of weeks ago. Living the life of a youngster sounds great.

That beats my 2 days for sure. My missed only works 1 day a week from home so no real break needed for her. I have a week off in January to go camping with the kids and some friends, really looking forward to that.

So sorry for the vid in my jocks but my garage is a sweat box, even with the door open and the a/C from the house blowing through!

In the US they got flags all over their gyms but seeing an Aussie flag seems out of place

Haha, so true, I’m no patriotic nutcase, but hey, we’re all Aussie 
It was in my classroom and when I moved schools instead of chucking it I brought it home.

Alrighty,bit of an unplanned week off,Xmas and New Year’s combined with a ton of work around the house, and out the back in this ridiculous freaking heat, nudging 40 most days with a heap over 40*C wrecked me. Along with a week full of very shit sleep I didn’t lift, ah well!
I planned on being good on New Year’s, until some bigger busted out some very delicious Fijian Rum Liqueur and Honey Whiskey that all went down a treat! Needless to say I had a self inflicted virus New Year’s Day!
I forgot about the Virtual Lifting Meet, fuck it, not keen on testing absolute maxes at the moment, have pulled something in my neck (probably all the Standing on a ladder looking up while painting) and pulled my elbow (digging and moving earth).
Might do it later on in the month for my own shits and giggles.

180 x 8 is very good mate. And I know what you mean about the heat and the slippery bar. You need to chalk your shoulders and hands.

Haha, yep,hands are always chalked for squats,just not shoulders, I like the fight
