 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17897 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | An inspired and rather bold four XXGXX GXXXX XXXXY If I move the "Y" of the third attempt to be the second letter a very obvious (at least to me) option presents itself. If wrong, I have wasted an attempt and have little time left but confidence was high, and as it turns out, justified | ||

That's a bold statement. But Wordle does lend itself to giving us strongly held convictions with really nothing much to base them on. I do it all the time :-) | ||

 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3233 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | Fatpete said:Due to the fact that it has been cold, in fact very cold, for the past week it came as no surprise that the foot pump was called into use yesterday, 1.5 pounds added all round and the feeling of a job well done. Reminds me of one cold winter day back in 2017. I got two rear tyres changed at ATS Euromaster in Morley, Leeds and the fools pumped them up to double the recommended pressure. For several miles, I couldn't work out why the car rear end felt like it was dancing on ice. Eventually I checked the onboard gauge and noticed the insane readings and deflated them at a garage (the tyre pressure warning only comes on if too low, the manufacturer clearly don't expect anyone to be so stupid to try inflating a tyre rated at 35psi to 70+ psi) the moral: don't get your tyres changed at ATS Morley unless you're into 'drifting'. | ||

Sadly these types of stories are not rare. I have had new cars delivered with incorrect pressures and cars returned from services with reduced pressures. Trust no-one and have a trusted gauge. That's all you can do really. | ||

 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22059 posts | A quick 3. The flood of green on the third attempt surprised me. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17897 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | A rather fraught five XXYXY XXXXX YYXXX GYYYX This took a little time as the letter it ended with was the last one I considered :-( | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17897 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 24th January, start 15:00 Squat, sleeves and boots 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 30 x 3 40 x 3 50 x 3 60 x 3 70 x 3 80 x 3 90 x 3 100 x 3 110 x 3 120 x 3 130 x 3 130 x 3 130 x 3 No progress on last week's efforts which is sad. Not a going day today and really not sure why | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17897 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | A swift and confident five XXXXX XYXXX YXXXX XGGGG The first three factfinders didn't find much but did rule out a lot. The fourth came to me quite quickly and left only two options, one of which was already eliminated. A good result from a poor start | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17897 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | A rather panicked six XYXXX XYXXX XXXXX XGGYX GGGXX Usual three factfinders had a rather bad day and didn't find many positives, an inspired fourth disappointed but convinced me of the first letter, I had high hopes for the unusual fifth and again was disappointed, happily I could think of only one last attempt that did not include any known wrong letters ad more happily still, it was correct. Phew! | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17897 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday, 26th January, start 13:00 Early start today as all the other regulars are either missing or early as well due to other commitments. Having no desire to train alone I too trained early to avoid this Barbell bent row 20 x 10 30 x 10 40 x 10 50 x 10 60 x 10 70 x 10 Deadlift 30 x 3 40 x 3 50 x 3 60 x 3 70 x 3 80 x 3 90 x 3 100 x 3 110 x 3 120 x 3 130 x 3 All done and dusted by three, away early and unusually busy traffic was the only drawback | ||
