Morning all a even 6.1 today, had really high readings all weekend into the very high 30's with zero explanation, no changes to eating patterns (even ate less than normal) lots of walking and exercise everything that normally keeps me low, I put it down to a glitch in my thingy-me-bob, my doodah...

Morning all a truly spectacular 5, happy days long may it continue, which we all know won't! there will be a glitch at some point. on a separate note has anyone read on the BBC sports website about the Welsh rugby player Tyler Morgan, who after his type 1 diagnosis who is the new national squad...

A belated good morning to you all a nice 5.1 today so back on an even keel after the other day. Take care everyone.

Bench press last night and was astonished at how easy it felt, 95kg 5x5, then my coach tweaked a couple of things I had gotten complacent at and my word!! I did three singles and the 95kg felt like fresh air!! Hopefully I can keep the momentum going for the rest of the week. Take care everyone.

I have had the 640g for just over three years and I find it to be good pump, very easy to use and set up, and to be honest I haven't really read up on the 670g but I would recommend the 640g to anyone. I would resist it if they tried to place me back on to MDI. Happy to answer any questions if I...

I just have to finish something when it starts, especially in training, my wife thinks I'm single minded around my training, as in if I say I'm going to do something then it has to be done!! wish I could be like that in other things!!

I wouldn't go that far, stubborn yes that's it stubborn!

Morning all, a 8.2 this morning but after last nights shenanigans I will take it all day long! My BS's last night were not reading on my machine they were so high!! 33.3 is a extremely high reading but that is all my machine was showing and said warning readings are higher, follow medical...

Morning all a horrible session last night, Deadlifts (might as well have been deadlifts of death, it was that bad) 175kg 5x3 and they were truly horrible, truly, truly horrible. But I managed to complete it, the rest of the week better be good. Take care everyone.

morning all a nice 5.1 this morning and after the last six weeks of post eye surgery recovery and its BS's up and downs, I will take a bit of stability any day!!! Take care everyone.

Morning all squats yesterday, shoulder pain is still there but getting under the bar a lot quicker now. A nice 125kg 3x3 (second time in the hundreds in over 5yrs!!) competition is only six weeks away so only five training weeks left, hopefully I will be ready in time!! Take care everyone.

Morning everyone, finally got the all clear to begin training again, so last night was deadlift 165kg for 5x3 nice and easy too. First one back and loved it, seven weeks to my competition so nose to the grindstone and all that, the road to 470kg total begins. Take care everyone

Hi @IronLioness I have been diabetic for 23yrs and weight trained in one form or another, from bodybuilding to strongman and finally going into Powerlifting. All these with the knowledge and backing of my consultants as in their words " it's one of the best forms of exercise" so I'm not going to...

I normally leave it on, but for some reason I stopped it. Can only put it down to being a bit daft after all of the rummaging in my eye last week

Morning all, a shocking 17.2!! In part my fault as I had a shower and stopped my pump and obviously forgot to start it again. Time to play catch the numbers today Take care everyone

I wear knee sleeves and will transition to knee wraps when I start back after my eye surgery, as knee wraps can destabilise the knee if used incorrectly, so sleeves to help build the muscles around it. The knee will never be right, until I get a replacement, but in my head I'm too young for that

Thanks, the healing is going well and I'm planning my return to the gym and comp prep already, can't wait

Morning all I had my eye surgery on Friday morning and my BS was 4.1! The surgery was meant to last 20 minutes, mine had to last 45 minutes, lot's of injections and more rummaging than planned it all went well. So the healing begins, best of all though my readings are all in single figures. 6.1...
