And off home armed with a foam roller to give my quads a good hammering. Foam Roller comes courtesy of kind DrRick, via Pete. It appears i am the third custodian of the roller and the first to take it out of the wrapper Grin

Did a good session on the roller and how it hurt!!

Almost forgot to record the Chuckle Brothers routine kindly provided by Pete and Joe on my last rep of my 5x5 bench press effort. Nearly brought a premature end to my sorry time on this mortal coil. Grin

I still don't know what the f**k they were discussing but neither one of them seemed to know either. Fekkin powerlifters!!

I dont really like these, but Alan wants me to give them a go so I will. My reservation is that they are hard on my knees. So much so that subconsiously my body stops me hitting proper positionsin a bid to protect the knees. made a bit of progress as they went on, but the knees were aching on the way home so still not convinced they are a good idea.

Snatch Pull - stood on 2 inch block
110 x3,x3,x3
Bit pushed for time

Front Squat
60 x5
80 x5

Slowly slowly a bit up on last week, surprising how much i've lost having the lay-off with the trick knee, but hey..

Cheers mate. To be honest since I got the foam roller I think there has been some improvment in the knee, so fingers crossed I'm on the path to fitness.

Just need to start eating again and get some energy back..
