Things seem to be improving, last week I had to end these at 50 x 10 with a discomfort factor of 10, and this week I made it to 75 x 10 with a discomfort factor of 4.

Gently does it

This was much better than last week, the elbow held up well throughout so I celebrated with a couple of extra sets, just began to feel it on set five. Big improvement

The top set was easier than last week, noticeably so, hip fine, everything fine. Of course the real test is yet to come.
Next week it is the last Wednesday of the month so Physio day. I will probably deadlift for that one, but then again I may not. Whichever it is, things do seem to be looking up

I date I will never forget, seven years since the great man died.

As is my custom, tonight a glass will be charged, raised and I will drink to his memory, the toast will be -

"Alan Fairclough, steel true, blade straight", I was honoured to know him

He will always be remembered. I thought it was funny on Wednesday when we mentioned Alan and his anniversary coming up, and Mack opined that he was glad Alan wasn't around at this particular moment in time as he would have had a bollocking off him for the way he'd snatched. This from a man who never met Alan, suggests we are keeping him memory (and reputation) alive and well in the club Happy

Very true. I never realized that even though I heard him say it.

Had to arrange to have the locks changed at the gym because we got wind of someone offering anyone whose gym was shut to come to Adders and train with him.

Don't think so.

New locks fitted.

Do you have any exercise plans for home, e.g. press-ups?

Brilliant.
It would be so easy for small independent gyms to have ‘lock ins’. Doing the right thing is sometimes the hardest thing. Good skills Happy

No. I have made plans in the past and they never came to fruition. I am a lazy man, it is no coincidence that there isn't a bed in the gym

Unhappy

There would only ever be one winner in that contest

The 30th of this month marks 40 years since I gave up smoking.

The price of a packet of twenty Bensons back then was 63p and the budget put them to 67p. As a 30 a day man that would have put me at just over a pound per day.

Camel break back straw as they almost never say.

Interestingly I enquired the price of the same cigarettes on my last visit to tesco and they are £12.55, which is as near as dammit 63p EACH

Who-ever would have thought that ?

The Hell that is working from home begins today. Enforced by the company I have had to bring monitors, keyboard, headset, mouse and several folders of design changes home last night.

What you don't realize in an office environment but becomes very apparent in the small, cluttered hovel I call home is just how big this stuff is.

Pete just lost his kitchen.

This is going to be truly horrible

I'm very fortunate to have a study set aside for work (and music). Luxury!

It also makes it easier to separate work from life. I'm putting a suit on (minus the tie) each morning and getting into sweats when I finish, for the same reason.

That is an excellent idea. I shall stroke the beard, the suit is clearly out of the question but the principle is sound.

maybe I would just wear a tie and take it off when done ?
