| A pleasure to see you again today Tom, shame I didn't get to see many of your lifts, but that's life. 802 is good, very good | |||

| Summary - all in all - a disappointment, 715 is a poor total cut it which way you will. The day was long, with almost three hours driving, the return journey done almost entirely in fog, met some old friends and had a hoot as always. But I am not happy with that total. That is not good enough by a long chalk | |||

| Deadlift, the warm - up weights were those horrible twelve sided things, that doesn't matter for squat and bench, but you can't roll them so you have to stand exactly in the right place. First attempt - 260 - pass, very nice Second attempt - 270 - fail. Got it up alright, but as I went to brace the shoulders the virgin skin where the seg used to be, gave way. I could feel my shoulders move. likewise my elbows and hands but the bar wasn't. So the hand was moving around the bar as the skin opened. Only a small cut, but it wasn't there a minute ago Third attempt - 270 - there was no way I could grab the bar and lift without doing more damage to the hand, so a token thrutch was all they got and I walked off in a none too happy mood. The more damage done, the longer it takes to put right. Bah ! Bluddy hands | |||

| Bench. The shirt has been boiled and sugared within an inch of it's life, it's tight and hacking through the triceps like Blashford - Snell in a jungle. Attempt one - 170 - pass. Bit hesitant on the descent (Blashford-Snell and that damned machette) took me a little by surprise, and never felt the touch, but to lockout in one movement Attempt two - 175 - pass - nice, smooth to chest and again straight to lockout in one movement, easier than the first Attempt three - 180 - fail - as the 175 initially but just drifted off line near the top. My fault entirely. The shirt will be retired now, burried with full military honours. She was a good 'un in her day, but she's past it now | |||

| Squat. First attempt - 270 and was quite good. Passed two to one, not bad, felt for it a bit, but it passed Second attempt - 280 - fail, stood up with it ok, but didn't dig, got to the dig position and then didn't, just stood. They were right to fail it and no-one to blame only me. Third attempt - 280 - pass - three whites, very nice, smooth and dug as per the instructions. Best one of the three | |||

| Sunday, 5th December, the North West powerlifting championship at Colne. It s a forty mile trip to Colne but I have to pick up Aaron (who doesn't drive) and that adds seventeen miles and half an hour to the journey. Up early for breakfasts and out at eight, pick Aaron up at eight thirty and arrive at nine thirty. It's cold and Joe the terrible has taken the squat racks from Adders to Colne so we now have a racks in option in the warm up room. 26 lifters, so two flights, one of twelve and fourteen in the other, lifting back to back. They start at eleven fifteen, we started at twelve twentyish and so forth. Tom Martin is in the first group so I will get to see almost none of his lifts, which is a shame. Phil the Behemoth is with us, which is a pleasure and so is Turner, which is not quite so. | |||

| I wouldn't imagine there will be a problem getting to the venue, it's the car park I worry about. Getting there isn't the issue in this weather, it's stopping when you do get there | |||

| Wednesday 1st December, start 17:00 Cold, very cold, and snowing, Adders thermometer is at +2 Not many in tonight, but I have braved the cold and sleet and snow because in a last act of desparation I had the old shirt boiled in sugar of twenty of your earth minutes on Sunday, today we try it on. DrRick has also braved the elements to assist, he also has murderers' gloves. I pause here to look at that apostrophe, I'll leave it where I is as they are not the gloves of one specific murder, but of murderers in general. Someone kind will tell me. I digress Bench, raw, all kilograms 20 x 20 20 x 20 20 x 20 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 3 110 x 2 120 x 2 130 x 1 DrRick + murderers's gloves = Fat Pete + boiled shirt 150 x 2 one to three blocks and one to two 160 x 1 to one block 170 x 1 to chest This didn't actually touch the chest, but it wasn't far off, just a smidge away and it flew up, no pressing at all which off the hands is encouraging. We leave it there as we desire neither to tire the shirt nor me. The shirt is tight, horribly or splendidly so, depending on how you view these things. It hasn't got long left, but it will do for Sunday, then it will probably be buried with full military honours. Many, many thanks to DrRick and Handsome Jeff, without whom all this would not have been possible. Normally I would be off to the home of the tubular bandage tonight, but girls numbers one and two are awol due to the weather (it is always worse in Oldham than the surrounding area) but there is a lithe, supple and very spritey young lass, who is always worth a visit, and she's made it in. Luckily I have my sensible head on, a ten mile drive home or a fifty mile round trip to Oldham, and while the time spent there would be a delight, I may not be able to find my car when I came out. Common sense prevails, I wipe a tear from my eye, and with a shrug of the shoulders, make a courtesy call to tell them I will not make it this evening, and head home. | |||
