Are you one of them hoons that get their holdens impounded?
Haha, nope. No Centrelink Racing Crew here!
I was looking for a cheap car to drive through the winter. Then a friend at work should sell this baby for a neighbour. Fell in love instantly. Not exactly winter car not cheap. Overshot the budget by about 10.000 euro but damn itās nice
Finally a bit sun, hereās the young son after his test drive
Mort: I need a cheap car winter in Denmark
Also Mort: oh look, a convertible.
Something like that
And itās been cold windy and rainy. but I love the car itās so fun. Canāt wait til the weather gets better

Had a long day at work today, was a bit tired going in.
DL felt good in the warm up. Up till 130 kg was DOH. 145 mix.
The top singles was hard, so only did 2 instead of 3.
Told myself that if I did 9 reps with 3 plates I could ditch the finisher.
The last 2 was uglyyyyyy but up they went. 122 and 110 was fine.
Front squats were good and strong.
Iāll take the rep PR in this totally fatigued state and after dieting for 2 months ā¦ power of the Viking Power builder Protocol

Probably gonna happen as I was 160.0 today. Thatāll be lighter than when I started lifting, and I had next to no muscle then lol. Keep it up man. Bring the fire

Tried boxing bag today, not something Iāve really done before. Tried to punch like 1 jab one hard. Alternating hands. Kind of fun.
Yeah Iām expecting 170s this week.
My scale says BF around 12,5% but Iām not trusting the damn thing.
160 is damn low 150s youāll be very lean very very lean man.
Keep it up brother saturday is just around the corner. Youāre so close, now itās all up to the judges.
Deadlift PRs and weight loss! Good work Mort.
Still killing it Viking style I see. Great progress mate with the PR and fat loss. Thatās a neat car. Havenāt seen one of them in a long time. Looks in great condition.

Squats were very hard and not pretty. Damn. Iāll have to lower the weight at some point. Stupid ego.
Power cleans felt decent today, still a nice reverse curl but better.
This was hard, the programs starts to dig in to me, 2 more weeks, then peak
Thanks Rizla, Iām pretty happy with it, in about a month Iāll see if it has paid off.
And the Mazda is in great condition, except the rubber tubing along the windows, it leaks waterā¦ and itās been raining ever since I bought the car.
Good to see you back, hope youāll keep up the spirit and positive vibes.
