I’ll have to give it a try!

Stevus55

Never tried it, i have it mentally filed in the woo type category but that’s based on no real thought or research

Had a deep tissue massage on Saturday, it was horrible

I generally feel like I’m fairly loose and limber but she found enormous knots in my neck and pecs.

Going back in a couple weeks for her to have a go at my lower body which will be delightful I’m sure.

I think so but don’t feel like digging it out

I only do them with 60 as well. Purely just to groove the hinge movement, rather than actually get strong at them. I've found that emphasising the arse back part of the movement helps reduce any strain on the lower back. Centre of mass stays through your feet, rather than hanging out in front somew...

I’m a big wimp so doubt it’s due to pain tolerance etc but I find it pretty comfortable these days. Built up a bit of a callus which helps.

Edit - if I get my thumb in the wrong spot it does feel like it’s going to explode, so maybe worth playing around with thumb placement and angle

Hook grip!!

Starting a new (training) cycle today, adding in banded dread lifts with the band out in front. Intended to force me to lean back a bit and stop pitching forward as soon as I lift the weight. Very curious to see how I get on with them.

Benched 130kg at the weekend :thumbup: Just came within an arse hair of getting pinned under 60kg while doing close grip volume work :thumbdown: Nice. Well jealous. :thumbup: Can you not do the roll of shame and sit up and dump the bar in front of you with 60kg? I've managed it with 90 in the I can...

Texans have no idea what to do with Kelce

Slowed down to get a blocker in front, Texans players had the angle.

I don’t know about this. Thought Saleh was the guy to go with for sure. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28469819/sources-browns-plan-hire-vikings-oc-kevin-stefanski-head-coach There were rumours Saleh was up for the Jags job. Instead we’re running it back with all the same people and expecting ...

Texans are having a dream 1st quarter

Went for a 130kg bench this morning and got mildly crushed. Equalled my old 127kg pr with a much smoother rep though.

Into a deload next week and then focusing on cardio and fat loss for a month or two.

I’ve never tried smelling salts but I’ve never been more insulted than when a power lifter at my gym was clearing his stuff out of a rack I was about to use, he picks up a used smelling salt sachet off the floor and says ‘oh you probably don’t even know what this is...’

I was deeply insulted.

Failed a 192kg deadlift last night, really need to work on getting further behind the bar. Thinking I’ll need to take a few months to completely reconstruct my set-up etc. Squatted 175kg earlier this week, so life could be worse :proud: Don’t overthink it. Already there :( I get into great position...

I will be trying to go the other way in the new year. I’m around 92kgs these days but a good couple of those kgs could do with being jettisoned.

Stevus55

Yeah mine was right in the SI joint, at least looking at diagrams online. Felt like there was bone grinding on bone and then shooting sciatic type pain down alternating legs from time to time. When my wife would be helping me off the floor sometimes I’d be halfway up and get a shot of pain where I’d...

Been there, it’s nasty x( This isn’t getting any better. Can barely put my socks on🤮 When mine was bad I was sleeping on the floor and having to get my wife to help me stand up, then standing still making tiny movements for 30 mins while it warmed up and stopped hurting. Didn’t respond to any sort ...

Nick Foles has 3 turnovers in the first 3 drives

That’s the south coast

I find deadlifts to be the mentally toughest lifts. I think it’s because it’s so easy to fail them with no consequences. The thought of being pinned under a heavy squat/bench is unpleasant enough that it adds some desperate motivation.

I experienced a very small one in Korea a few years back. It was about 5-10 seconds of low frequency rumbling and the kind of minor vibrations you get when a heavy truck drives past your house. It was creepy and I definitely wouldn't want to be stuck in a big one.

My training has been quite boring lately, highlight of this week was 8 paused deadlift triples

Still, I’ve been stuffing my face and I think some PR’s are on the horizon.

I have a friend who was so excited about the Browns being better than the Jags this year

The mighty AFC South is the only division with no teams with a losing record so far

Stevus55

7-3 now

Why

Stevus55

The Jaguars game right now is a classic. Jags have 240 yards of offence vs 20 yards for the Bengals. Score is...3-0

Stevus55

Meanwhile in Carolina... Panthers last 13 games: Cam Newton at QB: 0-9 Kyle Allen at QB: 4-0 Terry Bradshaw made a good point on the FOX NFL Sunday show: Rivera was in the hot seat before this string of victories, so in the interests of self-preservation he will likely stick with what's working.

It’s a shame that things turned out like this with Ramsey and the Jags. I hope Goff gets hurt and Ramsey spends another year on a losing team QB-ed by Blake Bortles.

In my old job the company put everybody on a 4 day week, 10hrs a day during the busy season to avoid burnout and to keep overtime costs down. Having a day off midweek is great and working slightly longer hrs on the other days is hardly noticeable.
