I am glad you enjoyed it.
I use Windows movie maker, same as Paul i never heard of it until Paul mentioned it
You got many contest to come yet
Shame you couldnt watch the video, on youtube i cant watch it from my mobile :S who knows why
I think my macros are a bit higher because of the cardio i have not choose but have to do but are great to start on
There is one gym in Taunton which is open every day of the year even Christmas Day
Thanks for stopping by
Thanks for stopping by
Especially with some suggestions
I totally agree, i know i get lower on my front squats than my normal squats which proves im just not getting low enough. Also viewing back on a squats my ankle come up on every rep... any suggestions
With curls and extensions i saw when looking back it was more of a swing motion. Slow it down and add a slight pause i will try.
Thanks___Growing Mentally and Physically ___

Agreed. I would also add to the parallel comment that depending on how you feel and your body structure, go as deep as you can with good form, stretch out a lot, and you'll be great. I've found that just to parallel feels better to me than any lower...in the past I've always over exaggerated my range of motion and this offseason I worked on sticking within a full but not over extended ROM. For me, i do not feel it in my lower body as much when i begin going beyond parallel...hope that helped some!

First workout after three days off and it was bad, squats are crap 50lbs over body weight is a bit of a joke, groin still is not right but i think i have figured out the problem of me struggling to go deeper and my heal coming up. My shoes!! took then off and felt so much more solid and better.
HIIT was hard again but felt great ten minutes after i did it

Happy with my bench press with no spotter (not wise i know) my arm is hurting tonight though. Mum wants me to go back to the doctors or hospital.
I had a long bike ride there in the wet, when i got to the gym i was dripping wet. Taking 3 layers off and still wet, but all good fun
Have a great day and night everyone
Happy new year!!!!
Take Care and enjoy yourselves
Tomorrow i am going to take squats very slow and begin from the start, weight right down and form spot on.
I would like to be in control with walking the weights out
The weights on my back
The depth
The squeeze
Hopefully this will make my squats stronger and my confidence better
So that my squat can leave my bench behind instead of my bench nearly overtaking my squat___Growing Mentally and Physically ___

I wish more people would start thinking about their squats like that. None of these half-reps, and borderline dangerous form. Good job right there. Sometimes it's hard to put the ego aside and stop worrying about the number of plates, and start worrying about the technique.
Good looking routine you got goin here. I like seeing this kind of dedication."The code of Bushido is harsh and relentless."

Thanks Curjo
Thanks for stopping by
This is soo true, many people think if they squat half or quater reps with lots of plates there strong but once you get them to do a proper squat the plates soon fall off
Thanks for commenting

New Year, time to retrain form
Here are some video clips from today, trying to check my form
Hope its not too long
Personal thoughts/comments
1. My right foot is abut a inch infront of my left (always had this)
2. When i do a squat to get lower it seems to be me lowering my back more than my leg (especially on low bar)
3. I walk out to far (have been told this before)
4. Flexibility or my body is struggling to get lower
5. I used to do high bar then switched to low bar but today doing both i think high bar the form was better
Please write any thoughts
