The place was full of weightlifters tonight, just like the old days and no bad thing too. The deadlifts are improving by the week, the suit is a touch less restrictive that it was and my lifts improve as this happens. I still can't hand-on-heart say I enjoy lifting in a suit, but it does seem that this time the game is worth the candle. Many thanks to Young Jake who stayed with me to the bitter end. Hands took a bit of a pasting tonight, but all seems well enough. Bonus visit to Oldham tonight, young Steph, lord she's a talented woman. Told you the weekend had started well.

A top session there Pete and a very pleasant write a up as always.
I do feel a little disappointed that I have no clue who 'young Steph' is though or indeed what her talents are

Are you having a giraffe Macca ? Do you really not know ? It's not a secret, I just have the sneaky suspicion that I am having my leg pulled.

Get her to do a little bit of work for you. You'll never look back

Never mind pulling your leg Pete - I'm not even twiddling your tinkler!
I'd google 'Young Steph' but I now fear what I might discover.....

That's not the way forward - you have mail
A fine, although not very relaxing day was had. Got roped into loading again, which I don't mind as I do get a ringside seat and saw some very good and some quite unusual lifting. Always worth watching though.
oddest thing of the day was as DrRick and I were chatting, a fellow in lifting gear ambled over and began
"you chaps look as though you know what you're doing" This is rare, not all together true, but kind of him. "May I ask how these things work?"
It turned out that he have never entered a comp before and had only the vaguest of ideas of what actually happened.
We explained to him the gist of things and he went on to lift very well indeed, three passed lift and not a red light in sight. Well done that man I say
