 Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Nice work Dave  Is there anything physically stopping you from re-building and going into opens again mate? Or is it mentally you don't want it anymore? You got a ton of talent mate, evident when I watched you compete at Worcester last year and I think you'll do well no matter what you chose. Ultimately I guess it comes down to what makes you happy. | ||

Ultimately I guess it comes down to what makes you happy. Physically? Only doubt really. It was a pretty rare injury, not a common surgery, and almost non existent in strength athletes. So there's no precedent for recovery. There's no reason I won't be able to get to the same strength, and more. That doesn't however mean I will be able to. Mentally I don't know if I want it enough to put myself through all that again, and it's difficult not to think about getting another, or the same, physical injury. I'm not getting any younger, and I want to be able to lift until I'm an old man. The pressure I would put on myself to become better than ever is a major factor in my thinking. Right now I guess I just need to put the work in for works sake and see where it gets me? | ||

Everything up on last week, generally pretty pleased as this was a 1400h session fuelled by only a small bowl of porridge at 0800h! (I hasten to add that this was due to being busy rather than deliberately eating like a baby hamster) | ||

 A member for 10 years and still no mouldy peanuts Member 1252, 4481 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 215485.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Do you do Bulgarian split squats with a bar or dumbbells? I have weak legs and thought these might help? | ||

the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | With a barbell Dan. This is to raise the centre of gravity to emphasise the unilateral aspect. With dumbbells I find you'll just sink into them with the DB's by your side and stabilising you, and largely negates the benefit gleaned from doing split stance work. | ||
