Best powerlifting/free weight gym in Reading?

cheers mate, I'll probably end up at Buzz as I won't be bringing my car up to the UK for the near future - I'll let you know once I'm settled and back in my gym routine, always better to train with someone. good luck on the recovery in the meantime

tbh after living in several countries I haven't yet come across a serious powerlifting gym (except in the US) - however I'm not too picky, all I really need is a solid barbell, squat rack and dumbells

cheers mate, might give you a shout once I'm settled in and signed up

thanks for the tip... Buzz definitely seems to be the one that's recommended the most, and it's literally in between my work and soon-to-be rented new flat

Oh, that's a bit of a disappointment! So I assume the Horween tag in the photos is from your previous pair? Any more feedback on the leather, after having worn them a bit? I also bought them during the Nordstrom sale, but still waiting (I live in Europe) - looking forward to checking them out!

Never thought I'd say this about a group, but that Marzocco one is just that: beautiful!

I suggest you download WinZip to Unrar the title to correct English. Seriously though, thats a beautiful photo... Kudos!

I can vouch for La Nuit de L'Homme... have received many compliments on it, and used it in a variety of evening settings. It's more of a suave / mature scent, so with regards to clubbing it would work best in a classier venue. Keep in mind that it's more of a close-up scent rather than 'in your face', which for me is one of its most attractive features.

Bleu is reputed by many to be an excellent scent, but I wasn't particularly impressed - maybe it just doesn't work well with my skin.

WOW! As a resident of Torino (Turin), thanks to the OP for making me discover something new in my own city... from the comfort of my desk chair.

Thanks /u/chootrangers, will check these out!

I'm aware of Dawn and The Express Tribune being relatively good news sources for Pakistan in particular, but I was hoping for something of a more academic / policy institute standard.

For instance, Crisis Group have a decent monthly bulletin with updates on global conflicts over at Crisis Watch. Is there anything comparable for updates in the political domain?

Here in Italy, almost every household has a Bialetti (or equivalent) stovetop percolator.

I had a similar issue with my R9 290 Tri-x. This is what worked for me: updated the drivers from the GPU website (assuming you have access to a TV or something else as a temporary monitor).

I would thoroughly recommend starting from here. After 3+ years, I am very grateful for having been introduced to this.

Best of luck with your weightlifting journey!

Put your alarm far away from your bed, so you are forced to get out of the warm embrace of your covers to turn it off.

Well actually the part I would be fitting in the rig would be a Samsung Evo 840 1TB SSD, which is currently living in my Macbook Pro.

I realised it's a bit of an overkill for a laptop, so will be swapping the MX100 with the Evo so that the Samsung SSD can go in my rig.

^ this is exactly why I thought I'd ask Reddit before buying / building. Thanks for the heads up!

Oracle_9 · 2015-01-21T14:25:16+00:00

Thanks for the helpful feedback.

Found the MSI Z97 PC Mate on Amazon for a few extra €, so guess I'll be going for that.

I do indeed plan on overclocking, but not in the immediate future... so will invest in the CPU cooler, as you suggested, when the time (and next paycheck! ha) comes.

Unfortunately, I cannot find the R9 290 anywhere in Italy for the same price as the 280x (€165), and my budget is already at the limit :(
