ROM means range of motion.

DISCLAIMER

Please don't take anything I say seriously as i don't take myself seriously. I'm just having a laugh, enjoying myself and getting as strong as I can on the way.

All articles are written tongue-in-cheek and are not meant to offend anyone. They are from the point of view of someone who has worked in a gym and therefore come off quite as quite a rant.

Competitions

THE COMPETITIONS!

I have or am in the process of signing up for these. All goes well and i'll have a decent competition line up for my first strongman season. I have medical final exams at the beginning of May (3rd and 4th) and then practicals in early June (13th, 14th and 15th) so hopefully i'll manage it all. Also start work in August so hopefully the season will be more or less wrapping up though i do know the British Natural Strongman finals are in August so that may have to be hastily organized leave to try and get the weekend off (assuming i qualify!!)
