| Were the handles knurled? We had a 320k smooth handled frame carry in this years Welsh as the second part of the medley , think I dropped it and picked it back up 3 times with no damage and pretty sure nobody else tore callouses , obviously having smooth handles means you have to use slightly lighter weights but if it saves competitors tearing hands open it has to be better. | |||
| » Tendonitis.... (achilles tendon) (Go to post) | 31-12-2013 @ 16:54 | ||
According to my physio the best treatment for achilles and pattelar tendons is to overload them , due to the restricted blood flow compared with other tendons they dont respond well to just rest so need to be loaded up to around 80 percent of 1rm ,feels counter intuitive to be lifting heavy when theres so much pain but since doing this I only get pain when I train rather than when im doing day to day stuff like going up and down stairs or driving , also uses direct stimulation on my pattelar tendon which involves him pressing 2 fingers firmly into the tendon and moving back and forth till it goes numb , not very pleasant but does help , after each session of overloading I perform eccentric stretching and ice till numb ( 20-30 mins)  | |||

| Have you tried wearing your belt lower? Still shouldnt be rounding out like you do but at least it will offer some protection to your lower lumbar area whilst you work on your form. With regards to the rounding , do you do much in the way of direct core work? Im guessing not as you seem to be folding very easily , you dont seem to be tightening your core at all as you pull and just going with it rather than fighting to keep your back straight. | |||

PaulSavage said:When I said I probably won't get through I meant to England's, not to UK's, I'd give myself almost no chance of that and a slim chance of getting to England's. Slim chance because if the other 3 events are all good for me, that's 4 good events and I do have a couple cycles to do till then. However, if it's like previous years and you have to lift the deadlift and Viking press to score it may make no odds as deadlift is hard enough as worsed position for me and if the Viking press is 160kg as in the same as push pressing 160kg on a bar then I don't think I have any chance at all. I fully realise how high the standard is and what graft goes in. "almost no chance"  The only chance you have of going to Belfast is if Glenn Ross decides to carpet the power stairs and needs help lifting the roll from the van , your cool lifting one side yeah? - You seem to be placing a lot of faith in these cycles , all they will do is give an edge to an already sharp blade , they wont turn a butter knife into a chainsaw! | |||

Its still a bird with a head, 2 legs and 2 wings. The technique is still the same whether its turkey goose or even ostrich for that matter. Theres just no pleasing some folk Now we,re talking , ostrich would seperate the men from the boys , just had a check now and Rod Hull has the british record with an emu , be good to see someone on here taking that. | |||

| Paul , considering your profession I really do think you should be careful what you post on here regarding "supplement" use - the last thing you need at xmas is the rug squad knocking your door down | |||

WILLSAN said:In addition, don't cock the scoring up. If you do happen to cock it up, make up a completely implausible lie about it, act like nothing happened and ignore anyone who mentions it....no actually don't do that, that would be silly. This ^ also a good idea to anchor score sheets down with a messy tacky pot so they are not blown away by unseasonally high winds , gives you 2 perfectly reasonable reasons for not producing score sheets after comp  | |||
