All this hanging around and bodyweight loss would give you a good chance on Ninja Warrior, fancy it?

funny you should say that. have done various bits of climbing on a school trips over the years and always enjoyed it. did a bit a couple of months ago and made me think id like to find somewhere local to do it. covid has shut the closest options but there is an interesting looking place in cambridge.

but yeah, always loved ninja warrior.

wraps on:

20 repper fatigue overcame my fear of the squat. heaviest since ham tear. used wraps and probably will do for the foreseeable. tentatively planning for a double bodyweight squat after my max dl attempt as that is what fuct my s**t up last time - a would be symbolic victory.

I think I'd be OK with my bum leaving the bench. We're not powerlifters. I keep thinking that I'd like to give bench a bit of a go, but I find that when I actually do it it immediately loses its appeal.

Harsh self critic, do you bench with the axle just to differentiate from powerlifters?

I try to be strict with myself when it comes to the parameters of a good lift. if I wasnt doing it when the weight was light, I shouldnt be when its heavy.

no, pressing with an oly bar makes my shoulders scream.

despite that I have been considering doing a little run 4 week run after xmas on an oly bar/standard grip and just swallow the pain to see what I can do.

although realistically next seasons comps will probably start getting announced soon and my attention will be drawn away.

695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq		You are thin and super strong. I am the same but old and stronger than the average old foggie!
I was looking at a stink bug? A dog,cat? If we could communicate with a beetle what would he say? Too many deadlifts one skull!

495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq		the beetle just wants to be left in his pile of dung.

Two monks who lived together in a monastery for many years; they were great friends. Then they died within a few months of one another. One of them got reborn in the heaven realms, the other monk got reborn as a beetle in a dung pile. The one up in the heaven realms was having a wonderful time, enjoying all the heavenly pleasures. But he started thinking about his friend, "I wonder where my old mate has gone?" So he scanned all of the heaven realms, but could not find a trace of his friend. Then he scanned the realm of human beings, but he could not see any trace of his friend there, so he looked in the realm of animals and then of insects. Finally he found him, reborn as a beetle in a dung pile... Wow! He thought: "I am going to help my friend. I am going to go down there to that dung pile and take him up to the heavenly realm so he too can enjoy the heavenly pleasures and bliss of living in these wonderful realms."
So he went down to the dung pile and called his mate. And the little beetle wriggled out and said: "Who are you?", "I am your friend. We used to be monks together in a past life, and I have come up to take you to the heaven realms where life is wonderful and blissful." But the beetle said: "Go away, get lost!" "But I am your friend, and I live in the heaven realms," and he described the heaven realms to him. But the beetle said: "No thank you, I am quite happy here in my dung pile. Please go away." Then the heavenly being thought: "Well if I could only just grab hold of him and take him up to the heaven realms, he could see for himself." So he grabbed hold of the beetle and started tugging at him; and the harder he tugged, the harder that beetle clung to his pile of dung.
