I haven't had much time for weightlifting lately, big crunch time with PhD, so I've come back to music for down time and stress relief.
I needed some direction with this, so I started a course with @pickupmusic .
Loving their pathways. This track is called Canvas, from the @plini course "How to write a melodic prog solo".
Lots of work to be done but happy with how this is going

Two years ago, on this magical day, I got to marry the love of my life.
Somehow, we had sun and no midgies in Scotland in May!
Here's to many more years of love and laughter, @irnbru and not so sly hip flask @bennevisdist whisky.

Enjoying this block, I like EMOMs for shutting my brain off and drilling good technique.

Very happy to have some weight on the bar.
Been about 10 weeks since my back went and put me out. It was the worst it's ever been and quite scary tbh but we did the right things.
Now we continue to rush slowly
60kg top down snatch
70kg Clean, clean and jerk

Incredibly enamoured with this gorgeous piece of art from the wonderful @bklynbeee at @fable.tattoo earlier in the week.
From start to finish, Brooklyn was wonderful and designed and executed exactly what I was looking for. A great day in the hot seat with 80s jams on the go, even if I was a total baby about the pain towards the end. Can't recommend them and Fable enough!
My lil' sugar glider is healing so well 💓

Mr Big Friday and... Mr Little Thursday?

Joking aside, Benedict is the best coach and friend anyone could ask for.
I'm not the best at sharing appreciation, but this lovely snap was a fitting catalyst.
Benedict is always there when you need advice or to vent and chat, gives the best encouragement, and doesn't blow smoke up your cooch.
We've been working together about 18 months now, and I've never had so many compliments about my technique as I have done recently.
I have some of my best days when I try and lift the way he does and with the cues and drills that we use to improve my lifts. Forever grateful to you big man, you're an inspiration to all of us, for so many reasons
