I break the airlock by a sharp tap of the lid on the kitchen counter. Smaller lids aren’t a problem, but some are just too wide for my small hands to get a really good grip on and the application of. Teenage boy is required. The lids I really struggle with - travel mugs, which have been done up really tight when hot and then left in car overnight and got really cold. |

Deadlift PB this morning! Won't seem much to some of our super strong ladies but A) am old (as, like some small child, I keep telling you) and B) it's nicely over my body weight (currently 52 kilos or 8stone 2-3 in old money) I had 4 sets of 6 reps on my plan but I did: 50kg x 6 55kg x6 Then PB of 57.5 - just three but one of the nice athletes in there said 'Easy!' I went up again: 60kg x 3. Am proud. Didn't think I'd have energy for anything as I'd already done high jump and three hard reps outside. |

Thanks ladies! The body weight thing is important, just as much as age I reckon.

Great work! PT with Adam this morning. He is heading off to Oz soon and I'm sure he was trying to finish us off before goes! Today's finisher was just brutal. |
