If texted you to tell you weigh in's gone back an hour, but in case you see this and not that - let's meet at nine!

Wise move, no text as yet but I did see this before seven.

Nine it is

A jolly day out yesterday, arrived a shade after ten, finished around two, sunny and almost warm weather, traffic free motoring there and back, the good Doctor for company and around 80 mpg for the whole day. An afternoon snooze for a couple of hours was unavoidable and did me a world of good. Now we have a four day week ahead. Hoorah for me !

I had planned that after 180 I would go up in five kilo jumps to 200, but from getting out of bed this morning I was feeling it in my lower back and things have been a bit ginger all day. There was a large element of suck it and see tonight and it did not go anywhere near as well as I would have liked. The most probable cause is the 130 mile drive and the several hours sat in a not overly comfortable chair yesterday, doubtless it will wear off and all will be well in the near future. The really sad part is that, if I am correct, all this has come about simply by sitting. Sigh !Unhappy Unhappy Unhappy Unhappy Unhappy Unhappy Unhappy

On the plus side, the knees were much happier

Back seems much less creaky today which is good news, Physio tomorrow so another chance to pick the great man's brain, these damned knees have improved considerably but aren't right yet. Death by is waiting but can't really be attempted just yet, I would have thought that I would have restarted that by now but I haven't. I haven't forgotten, it's just on my to do list. One of life's great ironies, the more time you need, the less time you have. Bah !

Hard but better than last week, all would have passed in a competition

Close grip bench

I didn't think I would get eight with the last set, first five were easy, six hard, seven harder and eight was very hard indeed. But it was there, happy with this tonight.
I seem to be able to get my feet slightly farther back which helps rather more than one would expect

I complained to the physio about the knees and gave details so the profiles of my feet were checked, most powerlifters leave a footprint reminiscent of a breeze block but my left is flatter than my right. I had a similar problem many years back and I still have the insoles that cured it then, so in they and hopes are slightly higher than they were previously. I do enjoy and appreciate an explanation

I see &#128512 but when quoting it, it appears as a small, hollow, square box.
