Booked in a remedial massage for Wednesday next week. Next week is a mini deload so figured it was a good week to get a massage. I still think its kinda weird to ask someone to massage your butt (glutes), it is also going to likely be extremely painful !! This may not be a fun day.

Less weird than offering

Is it more or less weird depending on who you are making this offer to and whether you have a qualification that is relevant. Kinda like ‘Trust me i’m physio’ ?!

Great physique man!
Thanks man. I don’t think I’ll be wining any shows anytime soon, but I guess I look ok for guy with some miles on him.

That’s a hench-looking 190; how tall are you?
Definitely setting a good example for the kids. That impression of how active and fit you are will last on them. If not now, later.

Had a quick look back at what I was lifting this time last year and oh boy what a difference. Last year 105 x 5 was a 10 RPE. On Thursday this week 107.5 x 8 was a 5 RPE.
Week to week it feels like the progress is slow but when you look back a little longer it is clear to see.

First day of summer and it is freezing and rainy !! End of hear karate family day is at the water park which isn’t exactly great. Water slides are deff less fun when it is 16c !!
In the plus side my daughter got a trophy for the second year running. She was sooo happy and deserves it for all her hard work. Happy days (even if I am freezing !!)
