Fellow @amputees we’ve just been called out as being chubby! Come on gang let’s change the statistics. Metabolic syndrome sucks, you don’t want that. @Blesma
If you haven't already heard, the first findings on cardiovascular risk in the ADVANCE cohort have been published. For a quick overview of the findings, you can watch this brief 4-minute video: youtu.be/T9jAlFkbVaY #ArmedForces #research #cardiovascular #health #Veterans

And it was at that point that he knew he was done for. She had already wrapped him around her finger. With a full nappy, eyelid folding odour and covered in dinner, she pulled it off. 👏👏👏

Blesma Member Luke Sinnott was serving in Afghanistan in 2010, when he detonated an IED. The blast claimed both his legs, severely damaged his left arm, and broke multiple bones. Now, @SinnottLuke has won his first medal at a major event for GBR! 🎖️ Congratulations Luke 🙌

In 2010, Luke Sinnott was serving in Afghanistan when he stepped on an IED and lost both of his legs from the explosion. He's now won his first major championship medal in the long jump for Great Britain 👏 📸 @SinnottLuke

First medal at a major event for GBR! First of many I hope. Still got some work to do on the new setup but it’s coming. I can feel it! Thank you team. 👉 @RogerRoch @DorsetOrtho @OssurCorp @HelpforHeroes @Blesma @BritAthletics @NHSuk

Jump, fly, Jump. Not a bad 48 hours. Thank goodness I got to ‘fly’ in a plane between the competitions because things didn’t go the way I wanted in the jumping. Don’t worry I’ve got a plan. Thank you 👉 @BritAthletics @fly2pole @OssurCorp @DorsetOrtho @RogerRoch @LeeValleyAC

“I think as far as the journey goes, when you first hit that international selection, when you first get the nod saying you've made the team, that that is unbelievable. I don't think I’ll ever top that experience, even if I do go to Tokyo." ✍ @SinnottLuke | #PersonalBest

"When I got into athletics I definitely felt I was in the right place - I definitely thought ‘I know this isn't going to be an easy journey but I know I'm in the right place and I'm doing something that I'm looking forward to every single day’.” ✍ @SinnottLuke | #PersonalBest

“You never step out of that door thinking ‘This is the day I’m going to get hurt’. But on that day I had a spidey-sense tingling, about five minutes before I got blown up." ✍ @SinnottLuke | #PersonalBest

Right or wrong, the tourniquet does a lovely job of tightening my prosthetic leg. Haven’t worn one of these since I got the bad news and lost the original. Top tip; If the blood flow stops, back off. If you are bleeding, keep twisting. #adapt #overcome #twisty

Big weekend plans! Carpeting the loft. Getting into tight spots by removing legs. Top tip if you’ve got removable legs. 6 tiles short. #bugger

Just when a WOD couldn’t get any worse, add a 10kg vest. It’s like being inside a big sweaty armpit the whole time. Ahhh good times. Cheers @WODSOX @Tokyo2020
