Where have I been

I have recieved many emails asking where have I been and I thank you all.
Well, I have'nt been anywhere really I have just been busy training 5 days a week for a chance to join the first real Australian Dragon Boat team "The Auroras" and hopefully get an oportunity to represent Australia at the Word Championships at Tampa Florida in August 2011. I will post my current GYM sessions elsewhere in this Blog site so you can see what I think is the essential strength program to make it to the Aussie Elite squad. I f you want to follow my strength program the important thing to remember is to increase the weights every 6 - 8 weeks working at 75 - 80% of your 1 RM.
