Tuesday
In spite of a good day off and better sleep than the weekend I am feeling off today. It's not helped by the beginnings of what feels like a throat infection - run down / viral?? Still...

Big struggle today. Major lack of any pop at all due to sniffles (snotty nose etc). Apparently Loz is the same so I am thinking a bug at the expo may be responsible.

Coaching new guy, Mike Smith, and giving ear ache to others.
2HP
Mucho disappointed with this. So much so that...
Middle finger chins.
I weigh around 115-kilos at the mo (don't ask - it's annoying and I'm eating more or less the same as before) so thought and checked that I could do a middle finger chin. Played around with it yesterday and even did it casual with leg raises to show off. I also had the middle finger double over hand deadlift number that Nick McKinless did recently so decided to see if I could better it. I could... Video of chin to follow.
Middle finger double over hand deadlifts
worked to 100-kilos loaded (scaled at 98.80kg). Video to follow.
