Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

"including you two swimming lengths") to sing along with the chorus of 'Love is in the air'. That was an hour ago. Still grinning.

And now I’m grinning too :)

Skipping and burpees to warm up then Squats, cleans, strict overhead press and pull ups this evening for the proper strength but.

Followed it up with press ups and kettlebell swings.

No dining of Love is in the Air took place at any stage, and there was very limited grinning opportunity either.

Not done anything for 10 days due to illness. Feels really weird. Off to do 48 hours sleep deprivation up supporting ultra runners on WHW as replacement / punishment. Keep training hard peeps! :-) G

I did pick some things up and then put them down again on Tuesday. I'm going to do it again tonight.

I enjoyed this, from today's Times

The first time someone suggested I try weightlifting, I was appalled. In my mind this was the province of steroid-inflated bodybuilders. Bad enough for a man to look like that, but I considered it even worse for a woman: hipless bodies ripped to single-digit body fat, breast implants riding proudly on hypertrophied pecs. Not for me, thank you very much. My bag, back then, was running. I put in a minimum of 20 miles a week. I loved being outside, I loved being on my own and I loved the simplicity of lacing up and heading out. And then, like a lot of people who only run, I built up a small collection of injuries.

Deadlifts, cleans, bench, pull ups tonight. Followed it with an EMOM for 20 minutes: 3 lift complexes of deadlift, clean, hang clean, push press at 30kg. Fairly light to start with but 15 minutes in and I was feeling it!

Very hot in The Shed tonight (32C) but I still Got Stuff Done. Squats, Bench Press, Overhead Press and Pull Ups. Didn't do anything extra after that as it was just too damned hot!
