Weekend of volunteer work for my boss (didnt know he was going to be my boss)

Took initiative and helped design a position for me in the company.

Took a risk and quit a job and life I didnt want.

I have now given 100% and pledged my loyalty to the business...


@carnage: top effort mate...good dedication!

Was it a grinder?

glad it all went well then...

[WillNotBreak]

Dammit only 72.5kg tonight.
Too embarrassed to even post vid in thread.

That's not bad man. I did 70kg x 4 belted the session before the 80kg.

Beauty of been broken mate; i suspect ill never have a big dead or squat again (not that I ever had one ). Gives me motivation to work everything else that much harder. Your dead is magnificent though!

That and I love shoulders now

Funny how most people thought I was crazy for volunteering so much of my time...yet now they're the ones asking me for jobs

@carnage; nothing wrong with 72.5...a lot more than most average joes

@WNB: smash what you can bro..good stuff!

I like to have good numbers but it's all relative...my focus this year is on football and a good looking rig..

So as long as I can stay injury free and play well then I will be happy
