I was delighted to discover that our holiday cottage has a wooden beam sticking out of the wall at just the right height for me to use for pull ups. I'd already established that the door frames wouldn't take my weight.

That's ideal, Vrap. I had my first solo play on barbells this morning - no-one using it when I got to the gym. It took me ages to get the bench in position for the bench press. I did bench press and deadlifts. I'll add squats next time. |

Perfect Vrap, mind your head on the curtain rail though.

The curtain rail wouldn't be anywhere near my head even if my pull ups were a lot better than they actually are.

I've stopped doing bench presses for now as my tennis elbow is back a bit and I can't seem to bench press without having my wrist in extension, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Will substitute with a floor press. This was an interesting short listen this morning: bbc.co.uk - the many benefits of lifting weights. |

Try not to pull the house down, V’rap. Good job you’re light
