Chucks/plimsoles or failing that bare feet for squatting. Flat feet? get yourself a firm sponge ball (or a tennis ball), then stand on it under your heel - slowly roll the ball under your foot [you'll feel a scrunchy release as you do this] until it reaches your toes, at this point with your...

Hioh Colby Be wise mate! Do not follow advice such as "I always use a belt" that is just a load of c.... it drives me mad that some people give such rotten advice. QED

SOTDM did a cycle last year (age 11) during the summer hols & loved it. We based it on squats/inc bench/seated row and front press... weights weren't massive but form was tight! He's been askin' to do it again this year - this time with some WPI/casein (pre/post WO) One often overlooked...

If I was in your shoes - use a couple of weeks in SD and visit the ol' bone doctor; it sounds like you could do with some good DTM/myotherapy to release mis-aligned tissue and straighten out your back. Then keep up this new suppleness with Yamuna type body rolling. Now, if you could get seen by...

One important proviso - make sure there's someone around that knows you're on it; then if you over do it, they'll be able to dial 999/911 for you... or at least force feed you a Mars bar

Mmm, that's my arse spanked, then... What's this preparing crap? - pink spandex & lipstick and as regards post training stuff? [/I]Son you need to get a life[I]

Enough already, you lazy git - I think you'll find that most people on this board also "work" and also have homes to run & families to keep. If you can't find the time and energy to do three 45min workouts - then there's no wonder your friends are gaining (regardless of which...

Sure if it's truly "flu" rest up - you'd be bed ridden anyway... If it's only a severe cold work thru' it - one proviso though; take plenty of rest between sets, otherwise you'll start puffing & panting which'll bring on the coughing 'cos you're working more aerobically. Working...

MOTHER is that you?; logging on as Xcalibur again...   You're just lazy, do some more research before you drag down the perceived collective IQ of the HST board. Questions like this are just ...bollocks! I can't even be bothered to take the piss

McDee Have a look at this :Vacuums Personally I find a I get a better "draw" by bending over at the waist, expelling the air & pulling in the stomach whilst straightening up It's oldschool - but it also helps the mind-muscle connection... Regards TDM

I'm currently doing a straight non-stop get all the reps for the first working set, then as I only do the big 4, I'll get in some lower rep sets within a 15 min time frame say 1x10 1x6 1x4 & 1x2 (this keeps the workout to around 1hr) using the same weight. Seeing as though I've got the...

I'm currently using the one day version at the end of this post (pilched from T-Mag) & can honestly say it's the only one that's ever worked; and not a crunch in sight!! Two+Two Day Program Monday/Thursday — Linear and Compression Work Hanging Leg Raises (trunk flexion, lower RA), 3 x 6...

I found this at Trulyhuge.com whilst looking for something to do with an old tub of crappy-sandlike-nondisolving; Reflex CreaPure creatine... Above all it looks like it could be tweaked to suit individual tastes/ingredients How To Make "Cheap" Creatine Chews Those little Creatine...

Here's a radical idea - why not just do it; then report back your findings?

House maids knee. Sit on the floor, legs out straight - then try to pull your knee into the floor; that'll sort it out... (3x8 with a 2-3 second squeeze) Also try squatting with a slightly wider stance, this'll bring your vastus medialis into play - and avoid letting your knees...

Yeah, you got me ***super light*** 184 on the squats excl. the bar... in the tens with +24kg of chains

No-one ever heard of a weight lifting belt??? Mmm aren't they what "Pro's" use to hold their guts-in... Belts are out - core trainin's in. And not wanting to state the obvious - unless you live in Boscastle - your highstreet will sell bags thru' Argos/Index/JJB et al. Are you sure...

...i don't think that even a CHAV would wear a belt in the gym;- unless Burberry brought one out! (or Carlsberg - then it would probably be the best belt in the world)

After some googlin' I went straight over to Amazon - found a discounted book & voila... "free" DTM's One word of warning though; a rollin' session prior to working out - means target muscles will rec the full impact of whichever exercises you use... One of the best rolling...

If I'd not just made myself a combat handle (a la sorinex styly) for FCT's; 3 bits of tube & some square section... Why not look around for a set of old bicycle handlebars; steel tubing so as to allow the welding on of either a ring or hook - this'll allow you to evaluate "T" bar...
