I'm so sorry it took me so long to sort this, life happened. Anyways, the max feed of 7 days is now operational.

I will investigate, I didn't set it up with a time limit so it looks like the feed might need tweaking *looks under the bonnet and makes thoughtful noises*

I only started at 48, still seeing gains at 51 and about to do my first national comp next week. never say too old!

Yes we do. But fewer and fewer students are applying to do nursing because of the horror of working in the NHS and the chronic underfunding. We can't blame Cardiff for proposing to close a course they are unable to recruit to. Bring back the bursary!

The shock at Cardiff proposing to close Nursing at their Uni simply demonstrates how unaware the sector is of the sharp decline in nursing applications year on year. Yes we need nurses, but prospective students are not applying for nursing degrees... I wonder why that might be...

Me too heh heh! Got a 105 on Tuesday, but failed 107.5. Hopefully there for June 🫡

We aren't peaking squats, but I got a huge new rep PB yesterday, 95kgs x 3 💪🏻 my comp PB is 100kgs, and last comp I only managed 97.5kgs (September 24) so this really shows progress. Need to work on hip shift as I get tired but still 🤩 110kgs here. We. Come!! // Powerlifting

Prepping for the British bench is going well 💪🏻 this is set five of five 🫠 really been working on my arch and engaging my lats and it's starting to show 🤩 // powerlifting

Credit unknown but the sentiment is there.

Sorry for being ambiguous, I entered the comp yesterday but it's not for another 8 weeks!

I entered the British bench championships yesterday. Eight weeks to nail this and peak. 52.5kgs for the second time in my life (questionable pause I know 🤦🏻‍♀️) // powerlifting

I agree with that. Key is understanding what we are assessing and why we are choosing that method of assessment. Not just choosing an exam because you can't use AI in it.
