In other news, I have entered/been talked into competing in my first PL comp, the Anglian PL champs on May 9th.

Great news! Very soon, time for a crazy cycle to get you up to full strength.

Fantastic! You wouldn't have been talked into it if you didn't have a damn good chance of doing well, and you know it Looking forward to seeing how your training and the competition goes!

[Talyn]

Thank you everyone. I'll do my best.

Mate, no singlet in the world would make me look fetching.

Then some random power cleans outside with a few of the others. The chavs across the street thought my form was good, apparently. Nice to know.

Shaved my head over the weekend. Feel nice and aerodynamic now, plus I draw all kinds of stares from passerbys. Also look at least 50% more mean, which is sure to transform into strength gains.

The build up for this comp was never going to be optimal, especially with me heading across the pond later this week. Hoping to go in on Wednesday and do some paused bench. Next week the plan is singles building up to meet weight so I will get some practice in.

20 days is plenty to grow a good beard to go with the shaved head (and decent tan).
