It then emerges that whilst everyone else has been saying goodbye to dying relatives via iPads because you can't go to hospital etc, the Government's chief advisor (Dominic Cummings - who railed against unelected fat cat bureaucrats yet is unelected and has a family estate in the north of England...…) has travelled to and from his parents in Durham (540 mile round trip) as well as going on day trips whilst there.
In direct contradiction of the lockdown. Which he helped setup and publicise.
He denied he ever did it. Then had to admit he did when the police said they stopped him. But denied the police stopped him. Then had to admit they did stop him. Then said it was the only solution for childcare as he and his wife had COVID - but it coincided with his mum's birthday and the restrictions said DO NOT LEAVE HOME IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS. Then said it was to deliver shopping (because there's no other way that can be accomplished). Then said he went on a daytrip whilst in Durham (where he denied being) to 'test his eyesight for the long drive home'.
Boris Johnson has then thrown the country under the bus and backed this clown because his propaganda is the reason Boris is in power.
You couldn't make this shit up.
Fortunately, this has distracted from the fact the government have introduced quarantine for visitors just in the nick of time TWO MONTHS after Australia did it, the fact our contact tracking app doesn't work, that we bought a load of protective equipment from Turkey that isn't actually protective against anything etc etc
Apart from that, the weather is quite good.

Missed Saturday
Tonight
snatch with straps - doubles
30 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 55 / 60 / 62.5 / 65 / 67.5
70 for 3 singles
60 for 3
65 for 3 (just)
No hook cleans - I should say I haven't used chalk since I moved house
60 / 70 / 80 / 85 / 90
No hook clean deadlifts
100 / 110 / 120 / 130 / 140 / 150 / 160 almost. Grip was going after the above work so still happy with this.
Ran out of time otherwise I would've added straps and repped it out.

Yep, the bullshit is piled high and deep! The falsifying of death numbers and faulty testing has long since had me question the entirety of the situation. We've got tens of thousands of doctors across the US protesting hospitals, the CDC, etc claiming it's a false crisis. Nothing more than the common flu and is mild.
Evidently, they test the lung tissue that is genetically inherent in pretty much all humans and claim that is how they find the virus. Soooooooooo technically we all have it? Anyways like you said, rubbish. We have leftist politicians everywhere trying to pretend they're dictators and proceed with draconian policies and rules. They've pretty much guaranteed Trump for 2020 with this incident.
Definitely nothing more than a global government power grab, this whole situation! It's so apparent I can't understand how people can still believe anything governments tell them anymore.
At least the weather is good there =) the heat index has been over 100 degrees here in HTown since mid May. Going to be a long summer!
23/6
New plan. The youngest is going into his new bed so sleep is limited. I should be still able to lift of an evening but need to be quick. So I'm going to pick a lift and MAX it repeatedly over a few days, then switch lift and repeat. Try to lift 7 days a week....
Hang snatch x 2
30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 - missed second / 70 - missed second / 70 - ugly second but got it.
And done. Tomorrow, add 72.5kg and repeat. If I can't hit the max, add weight and do an accessory version. Then change lift.
Current goals
1000 pushups in one hour
Row 1k in under 4 minutes and break the indoor 500m record
Keep pushing my Olympic lifts

25/6
Hang snatch doubles
35 / 45 / 55 / 65 / 70 (missed this on Tuesday, crushed it today) / 75 for 3 singles - its super hot here and things went a little fuzzy so I didn't attempt the second reps!
65 for 5 (to make up for this)

Some of these were done for doubles if it didn't feel good. In retrospect, I should've done less set and trusted my ability to hit some of these weights. Wasted energy.
67.5k x 3 / 3
28/6
On to another exercise.
Paused clean doubles and one jerk - no hook grip
30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 85 - missed jerk, 85 - only one clean, 85 - double clean, 85 double clean
Jerks were not great mostly due to lightheadedness.... However, this was a good start to a new movement that I haven't done before.
