Thanks Alexandra, I spent a couple of summers in Regensburg. A long time ago. I guess more of the language must have stuck than I thought.

Thoroughly enjoying your blog Chris. I like the mix of themes.

You’re absolutely right about my blog (so your German must be pretty good actually;-)) It’s all about the linguistic differences between German and Dutch AND about the suprisingly many cultural differences between the Dutch and the Germans… I’m from the Netherlands myself but moved to Germany some thirteen years ago.

Mike

Great to hear from you, as always.

Actually, for my deadlift, I am working on something that Mike Robertson talked about a while back that he had trouble with himself – making sure the glutes work off the floor and stopping the hips shooting up. So I’m trying to make breaking the floor the hardest part of the lift. I have a tendency to put too much “back” into my deadlifts. However, once I get that sorted I will certainly try your suggestions out.

Thank you, Alexandra, for commenting. The famous 44-year old is certainly going around the web at the moment but I felt this week’s link post would be lacking without her! As far as the fox is concerned, you’ll see from my other links posts (and the About page) that I enjoy animals and nature programmes. Stay tuned for more of the same!

BTW, my German is a little rusty but is your blog about the linguistic differences between German and Dutch? Apologies if I do you a disservice!

A great compilation of interesting links! Being a nearly 43 year old woman myself I find the video of the 44-year old woman performing that many pull-ups particularly inspiring

The fox is wonderful!

Best
