End the year at 127.15 kilos, which is 20 stone, zero pounds and 5 ounces or there abouts. I referred back to my previous end of year post for comparison purposes and I have lost 7 pounds. What I did find interesting was that I had to go back to around page 1361 to find that post, so this log is growing at the rate of around 3 pages per week which I find remarkable.

I also had to go back to October of 2022 before I could find a bench press that was remotely worthy of the name. The shoulder has plagued me for over a year, but I remain too stupid or too stubborn to give up (or both) and my weights have plummeted to schoolgirl levels on all lifts. To combat this and to retain at least a soupcon of respectability I have endeavoured to improve technique in the fervent hope that "master that and the weight will follow"

On the plus side, GoatBoy cares naught about this and continues to spread joy at the touch of his tongue. Well played him. He also received a welcome boost when an Adlington regular returned earlier this year and took him aside to thank him. He had given him some advice about ten years earlier, informing him that would probably be the best advice he would ever be given. That the lad was gentlemanly enough to confirm the truth of this really made his day.

A huge thank you to all who come in here and read this nonsense, and a second huge thank you to all those who contribute to it. It would not be the same without you. I shall raise a glass later and drink to your health. I hope you have a great year.

May you all get what you want and want what you get.

Openers were pretty useless this morning, my alternate set would have been similarly useless too. Almost as useless as I am. Horrible

Christmas day caused these to be forgotten last week so this was the first for a while and the shoulder screamed (albeit quietly) so I went no higher than this.

Just me and Bex the mad woman tonight, not a weightlifter to be seen, of the usual four, one was doing family things, one eating curry, one just seemingly not doing anything and the last doing something eminently sensible.

Went to Maccy D's for tea, it's not the best food in the world but one thing that you have to give them huge credit for is that at least they are phuckin' open !

Fourth was tactical, I could think of three and a very unlikely fourth. So I used two of the likely three and it worked very nicely

I feel marginally better after grumping that this is a significantly less common spelling in English.

Win rate is still 100% (actually 96.57%) and current streak is 196 so creeping ever closer to my best of 232

Took a little serious thought, but ultimately there really wasn't that many options
