Post Edited: 10.08.2020 @ 20:11 PM by Fatpete Monday, 10th August, Start 1600The radio informed me that the M62 is closed in both directions and that the A57 is suffering just where I would normally be driving along it. So one tiny, tiny advantage of working from home is that I don't have to plough through all that s**t and can go around it. So ninety odd days of working from home and at last - a very slight advantage Bench, very raw 20 x 10 20 x 10 20 x 10 40 x 5 50 x 5 60 x 5 67 x 5 72 x 5 77 x 5 77 x 5 77 x 5 77 x 5 77 x 5 All good, nothing to cause any concern Tricep pushdown, very strict 40 x 10 50 x 10 60 x 10 65 x 10 70 x 10 75 x 10 75 x 10 75 x 10 Very, very warm tonight, 26 degrees here and there are reports of 36 in London, not too bad then and there is talk of thunder in the small hours. Quite sweaty tonight but nothing I can't handle. Fat folk don't like it too hot. | |||

Rick said: If I were you, I would consider training squat, bench, deadlift, bench - but still at three sessions per week. This would spread the whole thing out a bit, and give you more time on the bench, both of which I view as positives. If you are uncomfortable training bench 1.5 times a week, you could make the second one a general upper body assistance session. That was pretty much what I was thinking, I used to alternate deadlift and squat so each got done once a fortnight, that I now think may have been too long, so I was considering what you say. I may do general upper body in place of every fourth bench session | |||

| On my way to the chippy for dinner early this afternoon, as it was exceedingly warm I noticed that a local hairdresser had placed a large, plastic bowl filled with water outside her shop. It was labelled "dog bar". Never seen that before | |||

| Friday, 7th August, start 16:00 Deadlift, no belt, no sleeves, pumps on 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 Hands held up much better tonight, just starting to sting a bit on the last set. The legs may not be aching as much but the back ws just starting to feel it on the last set. A decision of some description may be required by the end of next week. Very warm tonight but excellent persiflage. All this and sore hands. It's good to be back, deadlifts and sweaty foolishness. Such fun. | |||

Wigan said:You were very much on form tonight, I blame Aaron And rightly so. I thank you for the look of amusement on your face throughout. The legs are still aching but nowhere near as bad as last week, so I may delay the thought of training them every ten days for a week and see how it goes | |||

| Wednesday, 5th August, start 16:00 Bench, very raw 20 x 10 20 x 10 20 x 10 40 x 5 50 x 5 60 x 5 65 x 5 70 x 5 75 x 5 75 x 5 75 x 5 75 x 5 75 x 5 Now this was much more sensible tonight, did all of these all by myself and never panicked once. I almost felt quite sensible. Now I just have to work out what to do next time. Some old friends came to visit tonight, quite independently of each other. Young Aaron being one, he hasn't changed and it was good to see him. Whether it was down to him being there or not I could not say but I have a rather fine rant tonight, about all sorts really but mainly about phone apps. Really enjoyed it. Might have another Friday ? | |||

| Monday, 3rd August, start 16:00 Squat, very raw, sleeves and boots on 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 40 x 5 50 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 5 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 110 x 5 110 x 5 110 x 5 The upper back held up very well tonight but the uppers arms ached from holding the bar, both sides just below the delts. As it is the same both sides it causes no concerns and will rectify itself. I will consider the return of the belt for next time. | |||

| Just noticed that "Brawl in Cell Block 99" is on in the early hours of tomorrow morning on Channel 4. I watched that some time back on the good Doctor's recommendation and enjoyed it. I'll record that for future viewing | |||

billynomates said: Top movie. Around the same time I watched it in the cinema, The Shape of Water was also out, which is also very good. Recently I watched Ex Machina on netflix which was also very good. What are your favourite films of all time Pete? That's a big question. Pulp fiction was watched by me on video and seemed to be about ten minutes long, the clock told me that it had actually been two and a half hours or whatever, so I watched it again and appeared to know most of the script. It would appear that I had not so much watched it as absorbed it, that has to mark it out as special. Layer Cake I enjoyed immensely and watch that quite often, same for Day of the Jackal (the original with Edward Fox) that has been watched several times. The Gentleman, by Guy Ritchie I enjoyed very much and will watch again. Rock n Rolla, History of Violence, Heat, Casino and No Country for Old Men also rate highly. | |||

| No problem with the hands this morning, the traps and lats ache a little, but the legs are still groaning. Just watched "Three billboards outside Ebbing Missouri" and enjoyed it, the bit were the mother compares the church to LA gangs to a priest in her kitchen was priceless, skipped back a couple of times to re-watch that bit. "You might be upstairs reading your bible and smoking your pipe but like those cripps and those bloods - you are culpable" Love it. Chippy for dinner, then more of doing less. | |||
