Congratulations mate ! according to my dad being a grandfather is more enjoyable than being a dad as you get to hand the little buggers back"
Wednesday 24th.
Last session before my 2 week break.
Weighed in at 117.4 kilos (still obese).
Very busy at the club tonight, over 20 lifters again. Squatting with Kevin, benching with Stuart and Kevin.
Squat
5 x 70
5 x 110
5 x 130 box squats
5 x 150 box squats
5 x 160 box squats
4 x 170 box squats
2 x 180 box squats
1 x 190 box squat
3 x 210 stand up from 6" below normal rack height
1 x 230 stand up and hold from 6" below normal rack height
1 x 250 stand up and hold from 6" below normal rack height
Okay session nothing spectacular although the opening 110 full squats felt heavy. The box squats were all onto Kevin's "cut off chair" which is a bit lower than my normal box. The 4 x 170's was going to be 3 off but it felt good so I did 4.
Bench
3 x 10 x 35 close / wide / normal
10 x 60
5 x 90
5 x 100
2 x 110
1 x 110

3 x 100 close grip
5 x 90 close grip
2 x 10 x 80 close grip
Felt really weak on the bench tonight the middle 110's were supposed to be 3 x 3 x 110 but I couldnt get close.
Time for a holiday I think.

Greetings from sunny Barbados.

Found the resort's new "fitness room" today. No weights, just an excercise bike, a cross trainer and two running machines. Room populated by skinny americans in sweatshirts and legwarmers?????? It's 35 degrees outside!
The only lifting I am doing is the beer bottle to mouth routine.
Todays lunchtime session:
8 x 275ml Banks left hand.
8 x 275ml Banks right hand.
All you can drink beach party tonight so I am hoping for a PB.

Friday 2nd November.
Temperature topped 35 degrees all day.
Shoulders so burned I cannot even contemplate ever squatting again.
Got to be up early tomorrow for the Utd / Arsenal game. 8:30 AM kick off. Found a bar showing it live so rum with breakfast then.

Back to reality tonight. Weighed in at 118.9 kilos, not too bad after two weeks of food and alcohol abuse. A big crowd in tonight, over 20 lifters again, suddenly, with just 5 weeks to go before we are evicted we have become very popular.
Had a call from the council "sports / leisure and recreation group" today, they want to come and "have a look at us"? We've been in their premises for 14 years and they have just realised we are here. I won't complain too much just yet, they might just find us somewhere to move to, fingers crossed.
After 17 nights away from the gym. tonight was all about re-introducing myself to the bar. Kept the weights light and went for a bit of everything.
Front Squats
10 x 20
5 x 35
I do not like these, I cannot get the bar close enough to my chest.
Squats
5 x 70
4 x 90
3 x 110
2 x 130
1 x 150
Easy, all full squats right to the floor.
Bench
3 x 10 x 35 close / normal / wide
10 x 60
5 x 80
5 x 90
2 x 3 x 100
2 x 2 x 105
2 x 3 x 100
5 x 90 close grip
10 x 70 close grip
Nothing very difficult, except I was getting a sharp pain in my right wrist, nothing too serious I hope.
Cleans
10 x 25
5 x 50
2 x 1 x 70 failed both
1 x 60
Never tried these before but as Ed seems to be a fan I thought that I would give them a go. The 50's were easy but I could not get the 70's up, the bar was coming up to my chest but I was struggling to get my arms under it.
Deadlift
5 x 70
5 x 110
3 x 130
3 x 150
1 x 170
No problems.
I have now got the date for my next competition, it will be the BWLA East Midlands un-equipped on Feb 10th 2008. This will be my first competition as an M2 (50+), what's more I am looking to compete in the 110 kilo class, what are the chances of me losing 8.9 kilos in the next 14 weeks? According to my doctor I am clinically obese, so I am quite hopefull.
Alcohol free now for 3 days.
