 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17898 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Monday, 7th February, start 17:10 A tale to make you sad, to make you weep, to sob like a child in a chimney. At it was 260 x 3 last week, it 280 for one this Squat, old suit, straps up, naked knees, all kilos 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 5 140 x 5 wraps on 180 x 3 220 x 1 240 x 1 260 x 1 280 x F Oh my god an "F" on squat day. And a spectacular fail at that. I came from a clear blue sky, I picked it up and walked it out well, down and dig and just as I was about to rise, I folded like a cheap deckchair. On the left hand side just above the glute - it just went. The spotters were in like Flynn to save any unpleasantness and as Fat Pete returned to vertical it didn't hurt. I could feel where it had gone but it wasn't painful. We awayed to a public house for nosebag and foolishness with our french friend and I type this some three hours later and it still doesn't hurt. I can still feel the spot, but it is pain free. What tomorrow brings only time will tell but so far so good. I don't know what the hell happened here, whether it is just one of those things and can be dismissed as such, or whether it is more sinister and should be worried and fretted about. Whatever it is. I don't like it. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17898 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | 7 o'clock-ish in the am. Just a very minor ache to show for last nights troubles. This is not good but it is a whole lot better than it could have been | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17898 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday 9th February, start 17:00 Just a bit of fun today, some rest and relaxation with some raw benches today, but first Taxi Mark is shirted up and attempting to beat his pb of 205. He did a 210 that would have passed anywhere and shortly after a 215 that would have failed for want of a pause, but he got it up and down so I'll allow that for a training lift. He's a good bencher is Mark, and good lad that he is, he's setting targets for me to aim at. Bench, raw, all weights in kilos 20 x 20 20 x 20 20 x 20 all paused from here 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 5 110 x 5 120 x 5 130 x 5 135 x 1 140 x 1 120 x 5 And that will do it. The fives were a bit of a shock to the system, but they always are after weeks of singles. The back is fine, and the weightlifters are having a run out this weekend. All's well with the world. Off to the home of the tubular bandage to let GoatBoy off the leash with and attractive blonde. All's well with that world too. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17898 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Friday 11th February, start 15:45 Quite a bit of stretching on the back before I start tonight. This is quite rare for me but it seemed to work well. Back feels good too. Deadlift, raw, all weights in kilos 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 5 140 x 5 180 x 3 suit on, adopting the "Bill and Ben" style with feet closer together 220 x 1 230 x 1 240 x 1 250 x 1 220 x 1 220 x 1 The closer feet worked well as it would appear that I can't get too low to start, which means I can get my legs into it. Grip is fine and back felt good all the way tonight. These were all really rather good but I stopped at 250 as I didn't want to overtax the back after Monday. Bench, raw, again kilos 60 x 5 100 x 5 now to three blocks and paused 130 x 3 140 x 3 150 x 3 to chest now and one inch wider than legal maximum grip. Touch and go now 100 x 5 120 x 5 Alan seemed delighted with this, so the big old brain is turning once more. I don't know where this will lead and I don't much care. If Alan says it's necessary then it is. It's good to have a coach you would follow to Hell if he asked you. After Monday I was quite despondent and privately I was having thoughts that I didn't want to be having. I doubt if I will be having them any more. The future is looking a lot brighter than it did four days ago. | ||

 Old Age Presser Member 75, 7743 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | I'm intrigued by the wider grip and guessing it will help off the chest power (as it's the reverse of close grip). I'll watch developments with interest. And good to see you so positive. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17898 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Sunday 13th February, start 1300 Standing military press, all kilos 20 x 10 20 x 10 30 x 5 40 x 5 50 x 5 50 x 5 50 x 5 50 x 5 50 x 5 Left upper arm a bit stiff and creaky today, even Joe the Terrible commented on it, it seemed to have freed off by the end so obviously nothing much. Raining today, either quite hard, hard or very hard. White Bear afterwards for burger and chips and to talk nonsense, today the topic was deadlift suits. I never expected to be talking about that today. Got the hell out early doors as we have top get past the reebok before three. They kick off at four and things get troublesome about an hour or so before. Arrived home with the trip meter on 213.5, the significance of this is that I couldn't make my mind up as to which takeaway to go to tonight, so even last number on the trip meter would have been chinese, odd, indian. Decision made tandoori chicken it is then. Also my smoothie maker died this morning, luckily it was than twelve months old and I still had the receipt, tesco's didn't quibble, they exchanged it for a slightly different one, which is good. Considering it is used only once or twice a day for thirty or forty seconds a time, I would have expected it to last longer than me, after all I do other things too. It doesn't | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17898 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Monday, 14th February, start 1710 Regular readers will remember that last week I was unceremoniously folded in half like a penknife by 280 kgs. Tonight I have a score to settle. It started badly at 6 30 in the am when I left the house this morning to find that some drunken oaf had pushed most of the coping stones off the top of the wall into my back yard. It didn't wake me but it did break most of them and I could have done without it. Never buy a house at he end of a row, Since dinner I have had the squits, such fun, still solid but the frequency is out of hand. Immodium has been taken, so here's hoping. Also some dopey clunt has fallen/chucked himself off a motorway bridge and caused such fun with the traffic. Squat, old suit, no belt, naked knees, all kilos, straps up from the word go 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 5 140 x 5 wraps on 180 x 3 220 x 1 240 x 1 260 x 1 280 x 1 Hooray ! Fat Pete levels the score, considering all of the above and what this did to me last week, I am chuffed with this. Depth was fine, a bit slow on the way up but I was concentrating very hard, which is not normally a good thing. But lets not get picky. If a 280 squat had an arse and I had a plate - well you can work it out. Happy days readers, vey happy days. A plethora of weightlifters tonight, Little A is amongst us which is always a pleasure, Handsome Jeff and ze frenchman, who is a breath of fresh air. He is quite mad, but one of the most likeable fellows I have ever met. Alan is in his element having a new weightlifter to improve and to beast. He was on top form as well tonight. Add Handsome Fred, DrRick and respectable Ian into the mix and this was s fun night. End 18:30 and off to see a man about some coping stones :-( | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17898 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 16th February, start 16:55 Mr. Felix is amongst us tonight looking even more huge than usual, he deadlifted 380 and then announced that he wouldn't be going heavy tonight. You have to admire that outlook. Bench, raw, all kilos 20 x 20 20 x 20 20 x 20 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 5 110 x 5 120 x 5 130 x 5 140 x 4 (dagnabbit !!!) 120 x 5 And that was that, a sandwich and some persiflage with Handsome Jeff, Jake and Respectable Ian and then off to oldham, as previously girl number one and girl number two are awol, it now transpires that girl number three is on holiday so girl number four has to step up to the plate and a very good job she made of it too. The point is gentle reader, I do have a plan "D", this is the first time it has ever been required, but it was there when needed. | ||
