 Sugdens crazy old person. Member 4936, 7288 posts SQ 270, BP 155, DL 270695.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Since my one hand has swollen from past injury waking up I been playing chess online and defeating the computer. Do you play chess. The point is I’m good at many things but not great at any. F lifting and F to everything I’m not a champ at. Being good at many things is better than being the best at one! You know I don’t believe that for a second! What I’m saying so what the bench isn’t that great. You never pumped crap in your system either. So be it! | ||

Do you play chess. I don't Billy. I have probably only ever had a couple of games in my life. There was a chess club at school but only certain classes were allowed to join, the thicko class were very much discouraged. I used to train with a friend who played and was rather good, back in the 80s he played postal chess, and once told me "I've got him Pete, I've got him, it's checkmate for sure in two, he can only resign". The letter duly arrived, he opened it and read. He raised a saddened face and simply said the one word "Bugger" "He hasn't resigned, I take it" I said "No" my mate replied "He's moved his King, I didn't see that coming" I then heard the gentle noise of one of my illusions being shattered. Chess is not for me. | ||

You never pumped crap in your system either. So be it! Wise words Billy. You are of course absolutely correct. Admitting to yourself that you are crap at something is a bitter pill to swallow, but it is a pill that has to be swallowed and is ultimately well worth swallowing. My benching will become more enjoyable from here on in, may not much heavier, but more enjoyable for sure | ||

I realize now that I underestimated just how bad I am at this and set the bar too high. Still I know know what I have to do Interesting you say that because I actually started it on exactly the same weights as you did, realized the bar was set too high and then lowered the whole thing by 20 whole Kilos. | ||

I guess it's never get to comfort able or become fixated by it's magic. I'm happy our friendship is not a game nor a contest. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17871 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 12th June, start 16:15 Deadlift, no belt, no sleeves, slippers 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 3 120 x 3 140 x 3 160 x 5 170 x 4 180 x 3 190 x 2 200 x 1 160 x 5 All very smooth and pleasant enough. Knees happy and hands happy. The battery has gone in the clock, so it has stopped in approximately 7:45 position. I noticed it pretty much straight away, and I have a battery to hand so come Friday all should be back to normal. Usually I keep an eye on the clock to keep a rough check on time between sets, of course there was no point tonight, but did that stop me ? Not in the slightest, if I looked at it once I looked at it twenty times. | ||

You are to be commended that you noticed and had the good sense to change it. Sometimes the blindingly obvious is a difficult thing to see. Well played Sir | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17871 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday, 14th June, start 16:15 Whilst locking the door this morning I managed to hurt my wrist, how something so simple can transpire to be so awkward is beyond me, but we are where we are Tbar row 20 x 10 30 x 10 40 x 10 50 x 10 60 x 10 70 x 10 80 x 10 80 x 10 70 x 10 70 x 10 60 x 10 60 x 10 No problem with the wrist Pulldowns however did cause problems so none of those tonight. Rod Stewart is at the Reebok tonight so traffic could have been horrendous, and it was bad but I just managed to keep away from it all, though it did get too close for comfort a couple of time. Home at the usual time. Wrist is easier than it was this morning, so here's hoping for some improvement tomorrow | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17871 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Yesterday at work we somehow got onto the song "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly" as is generally the case with these things we remembered the verses about the fly, spider, bird, cat and dog, then things got a little hazy. I have just googled this and would you believe that there is a goat, a minister and a chuffin' rhinoceros in there. Of course we all remembered the horse that killed her. But the goat was largely forgotten and the rhinoceros I'm sure I never heard of before. And a Minister ? What the chuff is that all about, fair enough it rhymes with "sinister" but he should be shown the door in my view. Eating animals is one thing, but members of the clergy is quite another kettle of fish. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17871 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | The wrist has improved a little. I have also noticed that ITV are showing all the races from Royal Ascot next week, so well played them. Tuesday through to Friday have no interest as I am working but all six races on Saturday, including the Queen Alexandra, which is, at two and three quarter miles, I believe the longest flat race run in Britain. Well let's just say I am tempted, very tempted. | ||
| Fatpete | | And for comparison this is the world's longest horse race | 15-06-2019 @ 20:40 |
Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17871 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | The Mongol Derby is an equestrian endurance race. The race extends 1000 km through the Mongolian Steppe and is known as the world's longest horse race. The course recreates the horse messenger system developed by Ghengis Khan in 1224. In the 2016 race, there will be 21 men and 23 women playing the role of the messengers, and representing 13 countries. The exact course changes every year, and is kept secret until shortly before the race begins. The terrain will invariably include mountain passes, green open valleys, wooded hills, river crossings, wetland and floodplains, sandy semi-arid dunes, rolling hills, dry riverbeds and of course open steppe. The entry fee for 2020 is £11,375, and provides the rider access to 25-27 Mongolian horses, a support team, pre-race training, and access to the support stations along the way. Riders must change horses every 40 km at the support stations. Along the way are vet checks to monitor the condition of the horses, and the vets may impose time penalties if the riders push their horses too hard along the trail. To gain entry as a competitor, each rider must demonstrate that their riding skills are strong enough to endure the harsh terrain of the race. The horses themselves are semi-wild, and may not cooperate with the rider, adding one more level of difficulty to the race. Riders will spend thirteen to fourteen hours a day in the saddle, and the race lasts ten days. To complete the race is an accomplishment in and of itself, as only half the racers usually finish the race in any given year.[1] | ||
