Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Monday, 26th July, start 1600 Arrived after a grim day at work to find only two present and several hundredweight of mats in front of the squat stands. lacking the energy or inclination to shift them I used the padded weightlifter racks which are really only for racks out use but have to be placed rather too close together to be used as racks in Squat, sleeves and boots on 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 60 x 5 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 All deep and really rather lovely, the back and the foot seemed to enjoy it, the neck maybe not, but I did feel much better for doing it. Ju-jitsu guy came and went and then I was alone for a while but then Turner, Glynne and Handsome Jeff rolled in. This was a long way from being a bad night. I may just compliment myself on a good call. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Don't despair about thinning hair. I have seen this advertisement a couple of times now. It's very dramatic and makes it sound very serious. I wonder if it really is ? | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 28th July, start 16:00 Much cooler today, several short but heavy downpours during the day, but once at the club it felt strangely much warmer than I expected Bench, very raw 20 x 5 20 x 5 30 x 5 40 x 5 50 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 3 75 x 3 80 x 3 The shoulder is much improved but maintaining an IPF legal bench position is giving my hips grief. The stretches are working but slowly Low seated rows No 17 x 10 No 18 x 10 No 19 x 10 No 20 x 10 No 21 x 10 The neck dislikes these. No point being silly. It ends here. Physio tomorrow | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday, 30th July, start 16:00 Arrived to find a workman drilling, cutting and screwing things. Meanwhile in another room discoveries were being made about a recent addition. Tbar row, these are in pounds 50 x 10 72 x 10 100 x 10 122 x 10 144 x 10 166 x 10 188 x 10 188 x 10 166 x 10 144 x 10 Matters were complicated tonight as things have been moved around, suffice it to say 188 pounds roughly equals 85 kilos. So hurrah | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | They don't make twelve inch rulers any longer. It took a few seconds but Lord did I laugh at that | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Tyre pressures checked, all bob on. Then drove to Adders to assist one of our female members, followed by dinner at the Poachers. Squats tomorrow, not sure what to do there | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Monday, 2nd August, start 16:00 Quite warm and the place is quite empty, just Brooke, Angus and me. Squat, sleeves and boots on, no belt 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 60 x 5 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 110 x 5 120 x 5 130 x 5 140 x 5 140 x 5 140 x 5 We have had a platform built inside the racks, wood in the middle to stand on and rubber on the outsides for deadlifts. The wood is excellent to stand on and provides a very firm footing, but I had to raise the racks by one hole so I am now on six rather than five. I carry a tape at all times and use it at comps to settle the rack height for certain and avoid all doubt. Traditionally by bar height was fifty six inches, with the platform it is now fifty five, the only other option would have been fifty seven and I am a great believer in lower is better than higher. It made no appreciable difference, I seriously doubt that I will ever compete again, but I couldn't have lived with not knowing. Fifty five inches, you read it here first | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 4th August, start 16:00 Bench, very raw 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 30 x 5 40 x 5 50 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 3 75 x 3 80 x 3 No improvement in terms of weight but there was with the ease with which it was done. Still piss poor but we are getting there. Socially quite a busy night | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17817 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday, 6th August, start 16:00 Arrived just before some seriously heavy rain tonight, it lasted only for ten minutes or so and as it all stayed outside the club and, as far as I could see, no trace got inside, I was rather cheered. Bent rows 20 x 10 30 x 10 40 x 10 50 x 10 60 x 10 70 x 10 75 x 10 80 x 10 80 x 10 80 x 10 Lifted these at the opposite end of the gym from the windows and it was still light enough to lift by. Mack has always claimed that his end of the gym is much darker than mine, hence the necessity of the lights. I can now confirm that this is a pork pie. The new pulldown machine is a lovely thing with a complicated pulley system, this makes a huge difference to the effective feel of the weights and these gentle reader, feel heavy, very heavy. If anyone does the full stack on this thing I will be seriously impressed. That is to say, no-one will. Certainly not me | ||
