Morning all, a unsurprising 4.9 three days in a row!! Normally when I am stressed my BS readings are in the sky, but this time they are not going above 7, just goes to show that you never know what diabetes does, it just does as it wants some days. Take care everyone.

I have been extremely lucky after 23yrs I have only had one really severe hypo where I didn't know what was happening and came round with the onsite medics around me (I worked in a prison at the time) still don't know to this day what happened or how I got there. Nowadays I have most of my hypos...

Morning all a truly spectacular 4.9 again, wonders will not cease. and no hypo after training again. Take care everyone.

Morning all, bench last night 120kg 6x2 was extremely hard but managed, still have a slight pull in my left pec so called it quits after that. One more session planned then am off for 4 wks post cataract surgery. Then the work really begins as it will be 8wks to my competition. Take care everyone.

A good weekends training for me, squats on Saturday consisted of 120kg 5x3 with no knee issues then followed up with Deadlifts 180x2. I also did a deadlift workshop on Monday, where 7 of us deadlifted and I went up to 220kg for a single and narrowly missed 240kg so my strength is building nicely...

Morning all, hope you all enjoyed the last bank holiday of the year, a spectacular 4.9 which is nice. Enjoy your day everyone. Take care

Morning all a 6.1 today and no hypo after training, wonders will never cease. Take care everyone.

Well last nights attempt at squats shows you how difficult preparing for a competition and managing injuries can be. I have had knee issues since knee surgery around 8yrs ago, and it decided that last night it was going to give way with 120kg on my back (was not a good feeling I can tell you) so...

Morning all 6 today. nice and cool this morning but sunny. Take care everyone.

Bench last night, with a complication I have hurt my left pec, it feels like a small pull in the muscle/tendon. It was my own fault as my programme called for 110kg 6x3, but I actually did was 120kg 6x4, and I wondered why it felt so heavy!! So after the tightness in my chest I decided to call...

Bench last night , it was going so well until I decided to hurt my left pec, hopefully it will settle down and won't cause me an issue. Mind it was my own fault as I was supposed to do 110kg 6x3, but I actually did 120kg 6x4! Talk about a senior moment, ah well at least I did it, and I wondered...

Morning all, thank you for your thoughts about Betty, the bulldog, it was the hardest thing I've had to do. A 8.2 this morning so I will see which way it wants to go today as I was in the high 20's most of the day yesterday, stress is a wonderful thing (no it's not I feel like I'm falling apart)...

A belated good morning every one, 9.8 today I have had a very stressful weekend, as I had to say goodbye to one of my dogs on Friday, Princess Betty, and then have to be up through the night to treat my other dog who has Aspirational pneumonia, so to say I have neglected my diabetes is true and...

I have high blood pressure that is controlled with medication, I have not noticed any side effects from them and they keep my pressure in the "normal" range. My last reading was 120/72, they do say to not prescribe medication on one/two readings but a series of them to confirm that it is indeed...

Good morning all a very disappointing 10.8, but am a bit stressed at the moment so it's understandable. No hypo after training again so happy about that at least. Take care everyone.

bench last night 100kg 6x4 felt ok, finished off with biceps D/B curls with35kg 2x15 then hammer curls 35kg 2x15 and then home. Take care everyone.

I'm competing in the 125kg weight class in Masters 2 (45-49yrs old) and my qualifying total is 380kg across all three lifts (squat, Bench press and Deadlift) I have achieved it in training, but doing it out on the platform is an other matter altogether. But I will do it though.

Well that's it! I have joined a drug tested Powerlifting union and have signed up for a qualifying completion in November, to hopefully get into the British and European championships next year. Training is going really well and have already achieved my qualifying total. I have to take four...

She has ever since the time I was doing a truck pull and she shouted the immortal words "you are not going for a walk with a wagon .......NOW MOVE" ever since she is my best and biggest critic, always says "get the work in" can't fault her especially as I will be on the platform after all my...
