In the presence of Weightlifters I am deeply critical of front squats. However as there are none listening right now I can say, for the record, that they are an excellent assistance exercise and I would not try to talk anyone out of doing them.
There is one caveat to that and I would insist that they should be done properly with the bar fully racked in the clean position. None of this "arms folded" nonsense.
It is because (see inflexibility in previous post) I cannot do this in the proper racked position and would have to resort to "arms folded" that I avoid them.
If I could, I would as far as front squats are concerned


We are always listening!! I shall report back!

In the words of Mack, perhaps you should go home and think about what you have done!! Happy

So far so good with these, every week the last set seems hard and there is no more left, but every week we raise things a little and history repeats itself. No complaints about that.
Very quiet tonight, just me, ju-jitsu guy, Handsome Jeff and Mack, DrRick arrived as I was leaving and that was pretty much that. The weather forecast is for slightly warmer weather for a while. I have no objection to that.

Bodyweight as of ten minutes ago, 137 kilos, that's over three hundred pounds again. Oh dear.

That’s your bodyweight plus a days food and drink Pete. 3kg lighter when empty first thing in the morning.

Good point well made. The actual weight doesn't concern me as much as any change in weight, but yeah, 134 in the morning would be fine as that is pretty much bang on 21 stone.

I do generally weigh myself in an evening though as that is usually when I remember, mornings are for breakfast, not for standing on things.

Wednesday, 22nd January, start 16:30

Quiet again tonight, the physio said to not squat this week but to hack squat, just go as low as you can but stop when your hip nips. So I will. I have no idea what the actual frame weighs so all weights quoted are weights loaded on the frame

Hack squat
20 x 5
30 x 5
40 x 5
50 x 5
60 x 5
70 x 5
80 x 5
90 x 5
100 x 5
110 x 5
120 x 5
130 x 5
140 x 5
The good news is that I could go as low as I could get and remain nip free. Moving my feet around the platform caused an ache or two but only minor, the fact that the movement itself was pain free is encouraging and suggestive that the stretches, although horrible, are working.

Legs ache now and it will get worse as the day goes on, perversely I am quite looking forward to it.

I have been enjoying my own hack squat leg doms. I count the carriage as 20 (or a bar) in my log, so my top set is still 20 behind your tentative injury set, too.

That rings a bell, and even if it didn't it seems very reasonable

Yesterday evening I watched a few moments of "Richard Osman's house of games".

In one of the games the four contestants team up into two pairs and have to answer a question, the answer to which in this particular game, is always a number, then the take the average of the two answers and the nearest average to the real answer takes the point.

Yesterday's question - How far is it, as the crow flies, is it from York, in Yorkshire, to New York in America.

The real answer is 3,364, the guesses were 4,000, 5,000, 3,300 and 300,000. Yep that's right, one of them thought that it was 60,000 miles farther away than the moon.

I work on the theory that the closer you park to the shop doors the more likely you are to get your car t**tted by some moron and the farther from the doors you are the less likely this is as the very dim are also very lazy and dislike walking what they consider to be too far.
I generally have only two bags of shopping and therefore have two options -
Option the first
Place bags in trolley and push trolley to car, remove bags and push trolley back to the little covered trolley park (which is about half way between the shop doors and the car).
Then walk back to the car.
Option the second
Place bags in trolley, push trolley to little covered trolley park, remove bags and carry the rest of the way to the car.
Under normal conditions I consider option the second to be the preferred option, but under certain conditions, such as buying something very heavy or awkward, I can and would revert to option the first.


Thanks for clarifying. It makes sense when you put it like that.

Did they know how far away the moon is? (My guess would be not if they have no idea how far away New York is.)
