Strain

The Australian Powerlifting Championships are on in Brisbane at the moment. These two guys were on the warm-up platform lifting twice their own body weight.

On another topic, in the classifieds today I noticed a 30D for sale. It said it was an unwanted gift. I have two questions:

1. Who the hell buys a $2500 gift for someone without knowing damn well that's what they want?
2. Why the hell don't I know anyone who would buy me a 30D?

Oh, and happy birthday Pete!

• And the weight is all in their expressions :)
  I specially like the one on the left...excellent!! (I think is hoping for "god" to give a hand :D)
  I stared for this picture for a while, before reading your explanation, trying to guess what they were doing...I don't even tell waht crossed my mind :)
  Fantastic portraits!

• I like these expressions. They are determined. I don't want you to buy me a 30D,, how about a 5D?

• These are great, Heath. They look like they practiced "the look" in front of a mirror :) I'll answer your rhetorical questions. 1. Someone with more money than sense. 2. I don't know :)
