I didn't know that bit. I have researched and by all accounts there are 12,000 five letter words and she wheedled it down to 2,500 common ones which they use. And when I say all accounts I actually mean one, the one I read. It seemed reasonable | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17896 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Struggled today, got it in six and needed a pen and paper. The pressure was on for the last try but I managed to work out what the last four were and that left only one word that I knew of. Phew ! Sequence now thirty four | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17896 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 11th May, start 16:00 Squat, sleeves and boots on 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 5 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 110 x 5 120 x 5 125 x 5 Bit grim tonight, all was well up to the 110 when things felt heavier than they should. Did five sets at 120 last week but not a hope in hell of that tonight so I did 125 in the name of progress and called it a night. Not really sure why this happened, I need to ponder | ||

I knew the letter I didn't know the position of was unlikely to be last so that made it either second or third, so I picked a word that had the correct first letter and the other known letter as second plus three letters I hadn't used yet . This would establish the correct position of that letter and hopefully give a few more clues as well. Total fluke that it turned out to be the correct word | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17896 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday, 13th May, start 16:00 Deadlift, very raw 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 3 80 x 3 90 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 Used the weightlifter's Eleiko weights and loaded them in true weightlifter higgledy-piggedly style so I rarely had more than a rough idea of where I was up to or what I was lifting and it all worked out quite well. The 170 was a tad slippy in the hands but a bit of chalk sorted that with the 180. The first one of the 180s was very backy and with not enough leg - "s**te" was the term Jeff used but the final two were much better. Swings and roundabouts, what you lose on the squats you gain on the deadlift. Interesting conversations tonight and good news from afar where one of our chaps is on a squad. | ||
