Return of the Muskrat

Have fun Mort! Keep dry.

Let’s just say I flew past the 200 lb barrier… I am glad to be back though because nothing replaces good home-cooked food. Also NY is so big. I love living in a small town.

Have you ever been to NY? I know it’s a much further trip for you than it is for me.

No I haven’t been but it is on the list to do one day. When I lived in the U.K. The wife and my mum and dad and I visited the west cost (San Fran, Yosemite, Vegas, Grand Canyon, Palm Springs, Lake Havasu, LA). Easily one of my best holidays ever and the states is deff somewhere I want to go back.

Awesome man. I’ve never been to Australia, but my grandparents say it’s a really great place to go. I’ll definitely have to go someday

Yea man! Tryna get them big delts.

I’ve started “bodybuilding” style training. Basically just doing more volume. I’ve been having great workouts. I think bigger muscles will translate into bigger lifts too.

Having a hypertrophy phase as part of a layered plan is a good thing. Grow, grow, grow!

I’m definitely trying. I realized a couple months ago that I really haven’t done very high volume workouts in my lifting career so far, so I’m trying out higher volume training. My bodyweight is a bit over 200 now, so I’m either gaining muscle or fat. Hopefully some muscle is in there haha

Be careful man, everything moving around those parts seems to want to kill you.
But yeah one day I hope to go there too.

Hahah yea my biggest trouble is that I wouldn’t know what could kill me and what couldn’t. After seeing some videos of kangaroos though, I wouldn’t go near one of those

Most of the stuff that kills you is out bush. You don’t run into too many deadly things in the cities or at home. Other than maybe the odd snake or spider !!

Roos are fine, my wife’s school had one in the playground the other day, when the bell went for recess the kids swamped it and it just hopped away. Our school has them sometimes, along with Brown Snakes and the odd Red Bellied Black, now they will mess you up :+1:

I just laughed out loud at imagining a kangaroo in a school playground :joy:

Yea I just looked up the Red Bellied Black snake on google. Definitely wouldn’t want to fuck with one of those.
