Had quite a good workout today, came off a night shift and only had a few hours sleep due to the street parties going on …some wedding going on apparently !!, so anyway got up after a few hours zzzz time.
Did an upper body split–just learning to do a split routine.
Lats 61kg 5x5 + endurance set
Bench 40kg 5x5 + endurance set
Sitting cable row 60kg 5x5
Ohp 25 kg 5x5 (very weak ohp)
Pec flye 10kg 3x10
Then treadmill run
1.5 miles in 10.33 (new pb)
Mmm and dont employ and alcoholic drug user as a fast car driver eh !!
I think we need some subtitles for the brit humor.

the strange direction of some comments from Brits are based on the following facts (not my opinion)
Diana and Charles had separated but had not divorced
When Charles is King he is also he head of the Church of England
The Church of England does not allow divorce
The Monarch therefore cannot be a divorcee
The church does not allow divorcees to remarry
Charles wanted to marry Camilla
all of the above is a very messy potential situation
however, none of it is a problem in reality as Diana dies in a car crash.
Charles is now not a divorcee, he is a widower, and can now be both King and head of the church
He can marry Camilla
car crashes in underpass after being chased by paperazzi
The driver of the car wasnt wearing a seatbelt- he died
Diana wasnt wearing a seabelt - died.
Diana’s boyfriend Dodi wasnt wearing a seatbelt - died
Only the bodyguard was wearing a seatbelt. He survived.

I had made those posts above in the Get a Life forum (first visit there, I swear) and Bulldog copied and pasted it in here for the benefit of the oldies, I think.
For one brief moment, we thought the Secret Royal Conspiracy had reached across the Atlantic and had hacked into T-Nation to prevent The Truth from becoming known. Good to know our fears were groundless.
Wait a minute. . . . how do we know you’re the real BlueBrasil? How do we know this is the real T-Nation? IT’S A PLOT!!
Forgive me, we’re going through some loony tunes over here in the States. The prez just had to release his birth certificate because people won’t believe he’s an American citizen. The conspiracy theories are mind-boggling.

maybe I’m not the real Bluebrasil, or maybe I am…
this isnt the real T-Nation, mainly due to the fact that its not an actual nation, is it?
who is the elected leader?
what is the currency?
where is the written constitution?
what land does it cover?
ok, there are probably good answers to those questions, so maybe it is a real nation.
do we get to invade someone now? (someone who has large oil reserves preferably)

I decided over the long weekend that I really need to take the advice of others here and actually try to get stronger in addition to doing clean and snatch.
so my hope is that I’ll be able to stick at it long enough to see benefits in strength itself and a carryover to the clean/snatch
sadly this means doing the things I really dont like, such as back squatting and even bench pressing
I’ll be doing a bit more of this sort of stuff, rotated with a bit less olympic stuff, and will just see how it goes. It might just turn into a long meander of rotating exercises with no progress, I will need to see
latest session
Back squat
20kg x5
40x5
50x5
60x5,5,5 all as far down as I could go, which is below parallel
bench press
20x5
40x5
50x5,5,5 all done with a shoulder width grip and a pause at the chest, both to save the shoulders
deadlift
60x5
75x5
its a gentle starting point for the bench and the deads, and moderate for the squats, but I want to keep the other two lifts in line with the squats rather than race away with them - no point in doing that when its the squats I want to improve most

Careful Joe, a peasant found lusting after a Royal’s arse could get time in the stocks or even the Tower!
BB,you ever seen any of the manhood stones in Scotland? Inver,Dinnie or the Blue Stones?? One day I hope to make a trip to lift a few of those and drink a lot of scotch.

absolutely, I carry a couple of manhood stones around with me at all times. I dont give them names though.
but those big bits of stone used as tests of strength? nope, never seen them in real life.
Good luck with giving them a try, And remember, the more Whisky you drink, the lighter the stone will look.
Is there a plan to come to a particular part of Scotland or is it more likely to be a general tourist trip?
ah, well, its been a while. Lots of reading of everyone elses threads, not much lifting, a sore swollen knee, lots of denial, then a visit to the doctors re said swollen knee, then a trip to hospital for x-rays, then a wait to be the top of the NHS queue, then…
…knee surgery : (
it was supposed to be “key hole” surgery but it must have been a bloody big key they used, judging by the size of the wounds.
however, hopefully the removal of half a dozen bits of loose cartilage will result in a pain free knee in due course. But in the mean time its still no lifting for me. Leg extensions may well form part of the rehab though, if that counts.
everyone else seems to be doing well in their lifts, keep up the good work.
