Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17869 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 29th January, start 16:15 Not many in tonight and it's cold and damp Deadlift, slippers and sleeves 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 80 x 3 100 x 3 110 x 3 120 x 3 130 x 3 140 x 3 150 x 3 160 x 3 170 x 3 180 x 3 All fairly smooth and the hip didn't "nip" like it did last time. Plus the back feels less fragile, so the stretches seem to be working Physio later, which involved some deeply unpleasant acupuncture and some worryingly loud clunks and bangs. I feel better for it though, he has added another stretch and recommends another week of hack squats, then deads the following week, and then the week after that back to some real squats. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17869 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday, 31st January, start 16:00 Quite quiet this week, very quiet compared to last week, still those that matter are here Tbar row 20 x 10 20 x 10 30 x 10 30 x 10 40 x 10 40 x 10 50 x 10 50 x 10 60 x 10 60 x 10 70 x 10 70 x 10 Pulldown to chest, narrow grip 55 x 10 55 x 10 60 x 10 60 x 10 65 x 10 65 x 10 70 x 10 70 x 10 I still don't like these. much harder than wide grip, but as always that only serves to indicate that I need to do more of them. Tesco on the way home, then a man will appear to measure my floor for I am having a new one. What with that and a new boiler I may be considered by some as borderline sensible. I do resent paying good money for necessary things, I shouldn't, but I do. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17869 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Most readers may know that I pretty much don't drink. If I go to a pub I have diet coke and when at home, I will probably have a drink about once a month or so. It will either be a glass of port or a Southern Comfort. Last summer I purchased a new bottle of port and a small bottle of Southern Comfort, the port is still over half full and the Southern Comfort has yet to be opened. Suffice it to say I drink very little. I just filled out an online drink aware questionnaires and it told me nothing that surprised me except this - 25% in the UK of men drink less than me. Really ? | ||

I never believed that there were people who drank less than me, but that percentage seems high. I recall my dentist asking the question "do you drink more than 21 units a week?" on his questionnaire than everyone has to fill out every time they visit. He assured me that out of 1,000 patients only 2 had answered yes. I have worked that one out though. Maybe this has the same underlying reason ? | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | "20.4% reported that they did not drink" https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocial... And over 40% did not drink in the week prior to being polled. Both seem very high to me, but I am very ready to accept that the bulk of my friends drink disproportionately much and often. (I don't.) | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17869 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Good point well made. I do tend to assume that people I know are representative of the general population which is a mistake. At work however, there are a few tosspots (in its original sense) and a few non drinkers. But most tend to drink of a weekend, not a great deal, and certainly not to excess, but it is regular. They will be below the 20 units mark, but it really doesn't take much to drink more than me. But I have been surprised before and doubtless will be again. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17869 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Monday, 3rd February, start 16:00 Bench, very raw, squat boots on 20 x 15 20 x 15 20 x 15 50 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 5 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 Tonight should have finished with 110 x 5 but it became apparent quite eary on that it wasn't going to happen tonight, so I lowered my sights and tried the most that I was confident of. This was it, hopefully back on track next week. Not many down tonight and it was rather chilly, roll on summer I say. | ||

There is an episode of Inspector Morse called, from memory, "Ghosts in the machine" where an Eton educated Lord Something or other is murdered by being pushed from a height, and an American fakes a suicide note. Morse rumbles it by the number of "ise's" in the note. An Englishman nobleman would always use "ize". He gets Lewis to make him write a statement with lots of "ise's" in it, which only serves to strengthen the case against him. An old dictionary told me that the opposite is correct and that an American would us "ize" and an Englishman "ise" My most recent dictionary treats them as equals and doesn't mention British or American English. PLus Rick agrees with the dictionary. I will trust Colin Dexter in this matter. And I will re-watch that episode first chance I get. | ||
