Hello everyone, welcome to the flats and shanks pod. I'm flats the guy who comes first in the flats and shanks name. I only come first because it's got a nicer ring to it or it's alphabetical or something.

I've always wondered if shanks are a bit threatened by that. Anyway, who are you?

Sorry, mate, smashing down the espresso.

God, you wait until 20 minutes time, mate. Wow, I'll kick off. I'm Franklin. Pleasure to be here. Thanks for the invite.

No, you're the first time caller. I mean, technically you invited me, but I've just I've had, oh God, what is it? It's 10.04 in the morning.

And four. You've had three. I've had three espresso already. Yeah, the two easy. The kids, the kids after leave for school at like five past eight and it was seven, 40 when my older daughter came into the room.

Daddy, where are my school shoes? Like, what time is it thinking it's like three in the morning? Oh my God, out of bed. Comatose for you. Oh, gone fella. Yeah, yeah, draw a bit night old before you went to bed.

No, I did take anything. No, no, no, Puritans really good, but it's not really it's not really sneezing season for me. So it's not sneeze, it's not the sneeze and to be jolly. So no, I just I just had a good, a good sleep, because I read until quite late.

Yeah, that's probably it. But I also, you're having three espresso. You've had four. Sorry, but three, three, three. Okay, three. Yeah, you're double the size of a lot of people.

Maybe not double, but quite a bit extra. So surely your body can take that bit more caffeine than say someone who's eight kilos. Maybe. Yeah, and if it, and if it can't and the old ticker gives up, well, there's no pod next week. I mean, the world.

I know, I thought you're going to say if it can't, then you'd be straight onto the toilet, flushing it out. No, my body likes it. Yeah, might as well. It seems to like it. Well, I've trained this morning. So I have to have a couple had one want to work up. Just.

What we've been doing. What do you mean? What sets and reps? Was it chest day?

It was Tuesday. So chest day was yesterday for you. Well, I'd have a, I'd have a coffee when I woke up right just to get everything flow and you know, and get them a towel.

I get that I had one just before I worked out. Now quite one today did a big row yesterday. Life's about pulling and today it was just Judy,

a bench, close grip, 100 kg reps of 10, super set with arms. Okay. And a bit of shoulders, bit of back. Okay. My, my abs have really hurt from,

should you ever remember doing roll out? You know, you got the little wheel with two hand. I really like those. Yeah. Well, I bought one. I think from Asda of all places. Of course she did lock down. Was it? Yeah, another lock down purchase,

like sushi roll making kit. Never use it again. Pathetic. Pathetic. You're right mate.

I also bought one of these massage tools. You see all over like Instagram and Facebook. You know, the little, it's got a ball at the end. The gun ones. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I've never used it. Of course you haven't. No. Yeah. So I forgot where I was now.

You did bench. Yeah. So I did roll out roll out, but I can't get roll out. I can't get low. I really, when I get low, because the cause gone gone, mate, gone. You see, I've got, I've got a big old core on me. Yeah.

I can go low. It's just, it's my shoulders that stop me. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can't even throw it dark. Make, you know, so you can't be bad. I've had that magnet, magnet therapy on my elbows.

Shit flights. I don't, I don't, I don't, that magnet therapy on my, um, electromagnetic current therapy, whatever it is on my elbows thinking, well, why not? Why not just try it? It's free. Go for it.
