I sort of (read: totally) kneed her in the face and then rolled around the floor. Cramps suck. Can't wait to be back in my place & gym in the netherlands btw, though I made some good progress this week aswell. Haha I'm imagining this much worse than it problaby actually happened  | ||

His adductors are really inflexible so his knees travel forward instead of outwards, this prolly isnt the main problem tho. He can do squats just fine if he can hold onto a rack or a door or something. Not really sure what to do. I have him stretching every day pretty thoroughly. I've always found squats slightly easier with weight, I'm not quite sure why but to stop myself falling backwards in a bodyweight squat I have to either lean my body really far forwards like I'm doing a good morning, or move my knees forward bringing my centre of mass back over my feet. It might be something similar with him , and when holding a squat rack he won't fall over so can do it fine. A bodyweight squat will only be the same as a normal squat surely if your centre of mass is always through where the bar rests. For different body shapes etc their centre of mass may be in different places. This seems right to me especially considering people put fat on their stomach but not on their back so much, I doubt additional bum fat would cancel that out completely. That's all kind of hypothetical though. I don't know. Maybe I'm just inflexible somehow. | ||

Clock said 22:36 when I crossed but I was in the back of the mob when the race started so I think I could shave 30 seconds off. Was hoping for < 21 but considering the circumstances I wore my ESPORTS shirt with pride. Edit: looks like official time was 22:40 23rd place  | ||

Where does one draw the line for power cleans turning into full cleans? I've pretty much always considered it a power clean as long as I don't come to a complete stop and full depth. | ||

But no, I just wanted a pocket for my phone so I could hear music while training. That worked out wonderfully. The workout also did not get better afterwards, stupid day. Recently I'm just wearing these awful looking loose stretchy pants. I don't like them, but every pair of non-stretchy pants I've worn to squats have been torn so far, so I've just given up on it. | ||

Whenever I wear tights I'm too focussed hitting on myself to actually squat. Never thought I'd actually consider my legs my most attractive bodypart. Simple loose sweats should work fine for actual working out, though. It's what I use. | ||

I definitely preferred just wearing my rowing unisuit but it's a bit of a faux pas I guess. | ||
