I actually thought this video didn't work!

122.5kg x 20 - this was as grind from the first rep to be honest... I never had the bar in a comfortable position so it was just ugly from the get-go.

Wednesday September 16

1) Weightvest Walk
Pleasantly surprised to find out the walk I usually do with the dog that I thought was about 3.4/3.5 miles is actually 3.9!
Did that today with 10kg added in 58:07

2) Ball Striking
Moseyed on down the pitch with football in hand and practiced some kicking...
Six spots on the pitch, six shots from each spot... 31/36 - I would consider this the minimum acceptable return. Ideal conditions, relatively straight-forward efforts, so I'd be looking to improve on that next time out.

He's right. You should try it from the ground next time.

It's a travesty that so few seem to be willing/able to kick off the ground so was just curious. I just find it bemusing that teams rely on keepers to hit placed balls

The game is all about running around and handpassing sideways these days, unfortunately. Not many Maurice Fitzgeralds or Ciaran McDonalds left...

This is gonna sound really stupid, but what difference does straps make?

It just aids your grip. Like here, my grip failed before my 'strength' failed if you like. If I was wearing my lifting straps (which were conveniently located downstairs in my locker!) I think I definitely could have repped this 12 times...

Well that is really why I haven't used the straps at all lately... but then again, what the f*ck do I need a strong grip for??

... apart from probably eventually strangling Alf!

Opening jam jars?

Ah no, I'm just coming from the point of view that I find they hinder me but if you're good with them, then that's what matters. Holding onto the bar after the last rep of your top set for a while (20-30s) might get a bit of grip work in though

Just realised, the most stupid part of the question was the question.
"What difference does straps make". In a thread with Alf and WhipIt. Jesus Christ. I used to be kinda clever.

Did you wonder if he'd blocked most of the reps when you were going over to pick up the phone?

Nice squatting!
