@Bovidae already in trouble?! Ffs.

@Snowy I love that you wear the skin of your online persona so graciously. Ah, has anyone seen @MN5 or @Rancid-Schnitzel lately?

@Chris-B he ain't trapping animals these days

Short bench session tonight. Running late from work etc etc. Plus church was in session for international chest day so every flat, incline, or decline bench was taken.
Y and Ts, KB holds. Did a bit of stretching of the chest, especially hitting the lower pec connection to the front of the shoulder. Suspect that's behind a bit of soreness I get after a heavier bench workout.
Flat bench. Warm up sets of 6 at 60kg, 60kg, 80kg. Then 100kg for 10. 120kg for a pretty easy 3. Then 130kg for a single. That moved nicely. Then another 100kg for 10 to finish.

Whoops, missed 2-3 updates. Had a really good leg workout last week. Tried this new hip thruster type machine after front squats, leg extensions and hammy curls. Stayed light on the weight as we had no idea what the training effect would be. Glad we did as the result was booty DOMS. Will continue to use that as an accessory for fronts. Considering moving to low bar squats to see if that helps me avoid the groin/hip niggle.

Also had a really good arms session on Friday. Smashed ourselves with all manner of supersets and drop sets. Nobody called us clever but holy shit the pump was mean af.

Chest tonight - kept things really light last week so will be aiming for higher volume around the hundy. Keen to see where my 1RM is sitting before the end of the year - but need a solid month of lifting before that I reckon.

I think we are back on the creatine as of tonight too. Hell yeah!

@canefan aside from a certain someone TOP also put some interesting stuff out policy-wise. Even if either party tanks I'm liking how their very existence is adding a bit of flavour to conversations. More nuance and detail is good.

@hydro11 whomever is providing info about the nature of her death.

@hydro11 it'll come down to the coroner 's ruling on the nature of her death and the contributing factors. If she happened to die from an unknown or unforeseeable side effect of their sexual activity then that's quite different to a finding of far too much force being used (and/or for too long a period) that could only result in death. The latter would likely be positioned as murder, whereas the former - or the grey areas in between, could be manslaughter or ??

Echo the focus on their encounter and what lead to her tragic death, not his actions afterwards. It's super hard to divorce them from one another, but the trial is about the nature of her death, not how odd and abhorrent his behaviour afterwards appears to people.

@taniwharugby says the man still on the Fern!

@canefan I guess it'll depend on whether they can say he auto-piloted or had an episode of some kind after her death. But that list of actions makes that a looooong bow to draw.
