HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Just got back from a few days break up at Lake Eildon where Andrew's parents have a holiday home with a barge/party boat, speed boat and some jet ski's. I can see now why Leah and Andrew head up there so often thru summer.

New Years eve the weather was spectacular and hot! But shortly after midnight the heavens opened. A massive storm came thru, I've never seen such a spectacular lightning show as this. The next day it was calm but no where near as hot. Still we were able to go out on the boat and have a lazy day on the lake. Again in the evening a fierce storm came thru this time with gale force winds and huge hail stones half the size of a golf ball.

The next morning the real damage was evident. A large tree at the edge of the lake had fallen - right onto the speed boat :-(
Now onto 2010.... First up I'm taking a couple of weeks break from training to let a few niggles settle down and finally give my body a chance to recover properly. I completed the sheiko #29 which I started almost immediately after the last comp (hence the need for a break) and made a modest improvement in my raw squat, no change in the bench and I didn't test my deadlift. I must say the program really trashed my lower back which is 1.why I didnt do a 1rm test and 2. why I need to recover.
I'm considering sheiko'ing it up to the first 3-lift comp which will be the Melbourne Championships in April. I have the next two weeks to mull over my tactics for this year.
On a fun note, I found a pair of Aussie flag knickers! They're by Davenport so I bought 2 pair, one which I'm keeping to wear under my lifting gear at World Masters in September. How cool are they!
