bro do you even deadlift?

Thanks for the video coach! Such a great way to see how my form is. This is 95kg/209lb and I went on to do 5 reps at 100kg/220lb.

no joke

Australian seasons as experienced by a Canadian in Queensland:

1. A bit of sweat (Sept-Oct)

2. Sweating buckets (Nov-Apr)

3. Light glow (May)

4. Canadian summer (Jun-Aug)

holiday fail

So I’m an idiot. Actually, my day planner is an idiot. I totally thought that today was a public holiday but turns out that it was moved for this year to October I think. Apparently the day planner people failed to reflect this in their 2013 diaries. Maybe that’s why they were on sale :S

Regardless, the weekend was great. We had a BBQ on Saturday night and had some friends over to dine on some meat. I think there were some potatoes and sides as well but they don’t matter. We met up again Sunday morning in Surfers Paradise at a place called Pancakes in Paradise (see what they did there) and whatever your little pancake fantasies were made of, they probably served it. I chose two buttermilk pancakes topped with cream (whipped cream for my canucks), ice cream, strawberries and powdered sugar (icing sugar). I probably could have licked my plate. I’m bulking.

and now for an important update

I hate hand stand push-ups.
