 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17863 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | I said: The plan is for more kettlebell squats today So far so good. Three down and one to go, each set takes just under thirty seconds, so one set, thirty seconds rest, second set followed by one minutes rest and then the third and final set. Three minutes the lot. | ||

Are you ever tempted to refer to your last set of squats as the goblet squats of fire? Maybe you should consider this when you start to feel the burn  You can't unthink it. | ||

These need to stay regardless of grip. I bought some chains for squats and pulls. Enjoy using them and have the unexpected benefit of encouraging you to sit in deeper. Need headphones though as they jangle like Jacob. | ||

You never wore them at Adders and you shouldn't wear them now. The chains probably make more sense than most of us at Adders ever did. I would however appreciate some chain details, length, weight, where you got them etc? Depth is where it's at now Andy, I came to realize this rather late in life but I'm trying, I'm trying real hard. | ||

All lifting falls under this umbrella. In fact the owner of the gym that I use has made headphones whilst training compulsory. He's also kept the place open for his members right through the cv crisis. Guys a f**king genius if you ask me.Headphones are the work of the devil. You never wore them at Adders and you shouldn't wear them now.

Really enjoy it and get to work a tad heavier without busting joints too much. Also, I now have several pairs of waterproof socks. Nothing to do with squats, but yeah, waterproof socks. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17863 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Thanks for the info Andy, I have always had a liking for chains, generally, as well as for lifting. I rather like the principle for lifting but never got around to trying it. Still dislike headphones and making them mandatory is an act of extreme wickedness it my view, other views are available I suppose, but not in this house. I have a pet chain at home, just the one, he's about six feet in length, chunky of link and of unknown weight. There's a lot to like about him. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17863 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | It is probably quite well known the racehorse names are limited to eighteen characters. It makes sense and eighteen is plenty. Eighteen characters however, as a racehorse name would be written as "eighteencharacters" as that way it is eighteen characters.  | ||

I sat on my OCD for 3 days but couldn't take any more, so I had to check the obvious lead that you left. https://www.skysports.com/racing/form-profiles/horse/237787/eightee... No idea what most of that means, but the word 'Winner' crops up a fair bit. If I had a racehorse I'd call it "eleven on the dial" I think. This is both 18 characters and available according to www.britishhorseracing.com I'll ponder this now more than I should. I almost wish that it wasn't available then I could move on. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17863 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | I always fancied a line from an old Hagar The Horrible cartoon - "A devil sat on my liver" which would have to be Adevilsatonmyliver because of the eighteen character restriction If I had a pub, I would call that "Hands of a strangler" | ||
