| A difficult five YXXXX YXXXX XYXXX XGGGG A very similar start to yesterday, but not too much to go on. The fourth took a long time to work out but proved effective. | |||

| A very straightforward five YXXXX YXXXX XGXXX XGGGG If four hadn't been as good as it was I would have been in trouble | |||

| A rare and triumphant two XYYXG Took a little thought, so not overly quick, but the time investment was worth it :-) | |||

| I bought a "smart" light switch, but I couldn't figure out how to use it. I had to exchange it for a dimmer switch. | |||

| Congratulations Bod, 900 indeed. A rather tortured five for me XXXXY XXXXX XYXXX XYYGX The fact that the fourth attempt didn't end in "..GGG" rather shot my fox as I was fairly convinced that would be the correct ending. That prompted a serious re-think which in turn prompted much gasping as sighing. | |||

| A rather tortured five XXYXY XXXXY XXXXG YYYYG Also solved in seconds, sadly though in hundreds of them. On looking through my scribble I failed to do something rather obvious that probably would have made things much easier. Must try harder. As eighties pop group Bananarama once said "It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it" | |||

| I watched some of the paralympic bench pressing earlier, the 107kg plus class, some very strong boys as you would expect but some rather strange rules that you wouldn't and some very strict refereeing. The don't have a pause, and therefore no "press" command. They use large (as in thick) Olympic weightlifting style weights rather than the slimmer, metal, powerlifting weights. As a result of this, they have had to create a black, fifty kilo weight to accommodate the weight needed and (presumably) leave sufficient bar-end for the spotters to grab if needed. The referees red-lighted any press-out that was not perfect and the jury showed their utter contempt for the referee's opinion by overturning almost every decision they were asked to. Actually that may be a slight exaggeration but not much of one. The commentators were less than useless and explained nothing. Other than that, I quite enjoyed it. I have a great deal of sympathy for the referees, how they resisted punching the jury is praiseworthy and a mystery to me. My hat is off to them. | |||

| A quick and easy three YYXXX XXXYY Didn't need the third factfinder as a very obvious word presented itself, which is quite rare. | |||

| A slow, awkward and my four-hundredth four YXXXY XYXYX XYXXX Again, no greens until the answer | |||

| Friday, 6th September, start 15:00 Deadlift 40 x 3 40 x 3 40 x 3 50 x 2 60 x 1 70 x 1 80 x 1 90 x 1 100 x 1 110 x 1 120 x 1 130 x 1 Just a few singles tonight and was disappointed at where it ended. Could have gone on but the back developed a worrying but very mild ache, decided not to risk any more | |||

| Wednesday, 4th September, start 15:30 Squat, sleeves and boots 20 x 5 20 x 5 20 x 5 30 x 5 40 x 5 50 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 70 x 5 70 x 5 70 x 5 70 x 5 70 x 5 70 x 5 As I hit 100 kilos last week I throttled back this week and will press on again next week. The second set at 60 was done as the ever observant Jim noticed that I was a but rocky and rolly on the first. All was well from then on. Enjoyed this tonight. | |||
