To introduce a little balance from the last post, puppies getting whats coming to them.



No new training videos as of yet, energy levels have been a bit down due to getting fuck all sleep (my own fault). If you are interested you can check out my training log on the site veganfitness.net (Hayden's Training Log) Any time I do some training, it will end up being posted on the site, pretty boring, but it makes it easier to track my progress.

HELLOOOO!!!
it rained like a muther-fucker at my work the other day, the draines were clearly not pulling their weight at this point, a lot of the stores along the strip actually had some flooding. Our store is a little higher than others so we were ok. Pretty exciting stuff huh? Every time a car drove past waves of water would spill over the step towards a number of startled yet excited shopkeepers sweeping it back visciously to the depths of whence it came. see below...

This is a shot of my freshly smashed mirror, on my recently acquired automobile... Also recently steered this vessel over a screw which penetrated the inner tube, requiring my wicked tyre removing skills to come into force. Working on a car on the side of a busy road made me feel more like a man... is this sad? So Quinne (the car) has had a pretty eventful time under my care, hopefully this is where the excitement ends for now and the years of happy companionship begin


I have a significant collection of interesting and funny photos that I have accumulated during the long boring hours at work... I felt that others might enjoy their hilarity... CAN YOU DEAL WITH THE HILARITY???? expect to see one with each post from here on. the poor kitten underneath reminds me of my housemates awesome companion Chester, one of the coolest cats i've ever had the pleasure of meeting.


Another video of me doing some technique work at the gym. This is a snatch to overhead squats for reps, the weight is light (40kg) but keeping balance is quite difficult while using correct technique. We have been working on these for a couple of months, and they are starting to feel pretty good...

Been a while since blogging, but I have a good excuse, just moved into an awesome new house with a group of mates, back to my old stomping grounds in Wyndham Vale. Takes the same time to get to work but its a bit of a hike to the gym now.... I don't mind though because its a great gym, and it is the only place on this side of the city (that I know of) that offers olympic weightlifting training. Also just got a new car!!! my old car (Ruthy - 96 Corolla) was getting tired with a mixture of accumulating kilometres and abuse. She started to make a ticking noise, I took her into a mechanic a little while ago for a diagnosis to which I was informed the motor would probable sieze in a matter of months. Within 2 hours of picking up my shiny new VW, some berk (which I looked up, is Cockney slang for Berkshire Hunt...... or Cunt) sideswiped my driverside mirror and smashed it! Thats enough whinging though, time for some pics! In no particular order...

Jade came around to my old house in Newport to help with the move, this is her, seemingly giving the finger to my bed because it got jammed on the way down the stairs, funny shit.


Josh and Maki chillin' at new place

The awesome feast that Jade and Maki prepared on the night I moved in, vegetable shepherds pie, roasted vegies, and mixed salad. NOM NOM!!!



This is the outside view of the Docklands Cottonmills where the gym I go to (Apollo) is located


Here is a video of me doing some Hang Power Cleans, we were working on my timing and technique. Tried to turn the video the right way up, but couldn't work it out sorry. The bar is 60kg, nothing too exciting just yet...
