What follows is as a result of the theft of my laptop, digital camera and mobile phone. Value... maybe GBP60.00 all in but probably a lot less. The sheer inconvienence was what was annoying more than anything.
Using the new Bulkpowders supplements throughout. The BA still gives a tingling sensation but less so than before and, as is the way, you 'know' it's working (see extra reps this Saturday). The DAA MAY be having an effect. The protein is as I am slowly, I think, adding weight.

Wednesday
Late start as I had 2 viewings. One had been previously and asked what I wanted. I recall him (his wife in fact) offering a few pounds over the suggested website price but I suggested a more realistic, in my opinion, figure. The second two offered way UNDER. Nice chatting etc guys but more needed etc.
Penny Pinch

L/H: +11.25-kilos x 4 x 1 and 2 reps
R/H: +11.25-kilos and 2 clips x 3 x 1 reps and 3 reps.
NB: Beta-alanine is supposed to boost extra reps.
2HP
Decided to max out for the day and topped out at +82.5-kilos (105.2 total) for 1 rep. There may have been more but decided not to push the skin and my luck.

ThursdayFirst time, so it seems, in ages to have house to myself. In fact it's been just 2 weeks as one of the 'always dry so always drinking' tenants has been on his hols. A big fan of Special Brew.... Went to Gymnation for first time in ages for a change and spent the usual five mins shaking hands with old faces.  R/ThunderHad a problem using some of the all metal discs as some are over weight so switched to the rubber covered and did ok as can be seen. B/H: +60-kilos x 8 reps @, +75-kilos x 1 rep, +90-kilos x 1 rep L/H: +115-kilos x F, dropped to +112.5-kilos x 3 x 1 reps, upped to +113.75-kilos x 2 x 1 reps, finished on +115-kilos x 1 rep R/H: +121.25-kilos x F, dropped to +115-kilos x 1 rep, +120-kilos x 3 x 1 reps, +121.25-kilos x 2 x 1 reps, +122.5-kilos x 1 rep, +123.75-kilos x F then a rep. Ended on +125-kilos x 1 rep. Not bad considering I'd also left both my lever and support belt behind at the yard!
