Do you even lift bro?

Rupe,i have been completely T-total for nearly 13 months now.Not a single drop! I've survived 40th Birthday Celebrations.....Arbshow and APF....Xmas and New Year....i have no intention of ever drinking again.

That combined with 14 months at the Gym has made me feel at the same fitness level as when i was 19 years old and Rowing for Durham.Difference is i was drinking and smoking then.......I feel damn good these days.The greatest overall feeling is that my brain power seems to be far greater.It's all working like never before.Feel quite powerful inside and out.

Change the angle of the camera next time Paul. There's been some unwelcome editing of the poster behind you!

Any better?...[emoji23][emoji23] Me and Arnie don't care.We're Freaks![emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Anyhoo,thanks for the encouragement folks.Just done my first Sets on the Squat rack...and love it.

Awesome! Nice flat back, and if I were to constructively critique (hard to tell from that angle) I would say your knees are perhaps just a touch too far forward over your toes, and it looks like your knees could do with being pushed out slightly to the sides. I'd suggest trying a slightly wider stance, as it would possibly fix both those things. 
 
It takes years to learn to squat properly and your form as a beginner is excellent [emoji3]

Shall correct that......."Good form is everything!" As i will now always say...[emoji6][emoji16][emoji16]

Well done. Total abstinence is a possible future plan, let's see how this year pans out. If I can do the things I want and enjoy a drink here a data there then allspice well. I don't go on massive drinking sprees or anything but a beer or 2 or 3 or 6 is so frequent that 2 days off a week is not always managed. Stopped smoking 10 years ago though. Not doing dry January as such but not had a drink this year yet. Not got an occasion to want to until 10th Feb so will see what happens then!!

Rubbish spell checking!!

There is no way I’m totally abstaining till the doctor tells me to.

 

I love a drink in the evening, sometimes I overdo it a little, but after 35 years of it I think I’m quite proficient.
