Pikey

Normally when I’ve gone way beyond I get bright lights in my eyes and feel dizzy, I've never gone deaf but expect it just the brain complaining in another way. I have been known to throw up, at one time this was a regular occurrence –
As a kid just starting out I’d read a book and articles by the Barbarian twins John and David Paul, I think, …They advocated some rather extreme principals to training…being young and impressionable I though that sounded like the thing to do.

I used to have a terrible habit of holding my breath through the positive phase of heavy squats which burst capillaries in my face and Lord knows where else and I’ve passed out a couple of times too, thankfully in a power rack while squatting or with good spotters.

I’m a lot older and a little wiser now, I train hard but realise when enough is enough - last thing I need is another injury, one Pec looking like the dog’s chewed it is quite enough for me…
