forgot something VERY important from todays session:

vertical jumps up t 115cm - PB!!!

[baldy]

when you say 132.kg log is that actually equal to your 130kg log pb or is it 135kg that you think is 132.5kg but would be a new pb?

[knackers]

forgot something VERY important from todays session:

vertical jumps up t 115cm - PB!!!

Your like a bloody coiled spring you are !

Awesome work.

[Goob]

goob, any heavier and i would end up with 0 points

What's wrong with 0? Looks like a nice round number to me

[JP]

unfortunately i have an extensive experience in getting 0 points from events

hope none in the net comp, but couple of the events do scare me...
