| Cheers mate, new stance felt a bit more solid, felt slightly different but think it should be good and put less sideways stress through the knees. | |||

| Received my order yesterday. So far tried the chocolate and.morello cherry, apple cinnamon swirl and lemon cheesecake. I have to say these are without doubt the best tasting whey I have ever tried. I have tried about 6 brands over the past year from bulk suppliers to more expensive brands and these are the best by a mile. The flavours are well balanced and got reallt good depth, hard to believe they are protein shakes!! Keep up the good work, already.looking forward to trying more.flavours but need to get through this 6kg first. Got the choc.mint brownie for supper tonight | |||

General_ill said:Do you really give a f**k what we think ? If your happy claim it ? Some say if you have to ask then it ain't in Some say its a training lift and who cares Only you can decide. Cheers, I thought it was just in by the absolute skin of my teeth. I was interested to get some less-biased opinions I know I need to sort my hips and flexibility to get deeper | |||

| Thanks for all the tips and guidance, pretty new to lifting for strength - so all gratefully received to get keep things going upwards. So we have: Core work for stability Paused deep squats Face outwards and concentrate on lift. Need to keep up the stretching and rollering to losen my hips up and keep my knees and back in close to working order (they're both a bit rubbish) Still about a 6-2 split in favour of it being claimable.  | |||

LessThanLuke said: Looking at the mirror to gauge your depth while squatting is a horrible idea! Just fact outwards. Thanks mate, will do that in future | |||
