Thursday
Late for me / lots of coffee
Two Hands Pinch
Changed the set up. I normally use the usual kit plus a pair of 15-kilo 1-inch bore discs and add weight (10's, 5's and so on). When I wanna go past 100-kilos total load I have to use the bigger 20-kilo discs plus additional weights. So it sits up higher, doesn't lean over so much and just the sheer physics and how it feels differs. So I only went to:
92.7-kilos x 2 x 1, 3 x 2 and 1 x 3 reps.

Then an hours wait until Dai Lew arrived so I could have a crack at a Fat Grip's challenge
to 90-kilos (1 off camera, 1 fail, 1 on camera) on video and then 100-kilos x 1 rep. I then did 180-kilos with a hook grip on a standard bar - no fat grip added. That was a back strainer.

Monday
So, while out walking yesterday we stopped for a chat with a smallholder. Walking on some very small paths with silly drops meant I'd tensed up and my back went into spasm. So rest then a LOT of stretching and careful warming up followed by a much slower pace = a decent workout.
