The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
I didn't know this thread existed until today. I been on the pink thread. 😀 I watched an insta reel about deadlifts this morning. She said "instead of just gripping the bar, imagine you are trying to break it in two" Interesting. I did try thinking that this morning; I think it helped push my shoulders back instead of rounding them. She said about pushing the floor away instead of pulling up, and don't reach down, stick your bum out and the weight will go down.
Anyway, I managed 3 reps of 60kg this morning, after my planned 6 x 45, 6 x 55, 6 x 55. Quite happy with that; nearly my bodyweight.
Doing it in front of a mirror helps. My PT suggested I film myself, but I am quite allergic to taking selfies at the best of times. Filming myself feels beyond decadent and self-absorbed.
Did my usual 1 hr 10 in gym. Prob 20 mins plus of that is stretches and foam roller. But rest is core, dumbells and machine or barbell stuff. Same old for last 35 years really! G
And being slightly more serious the Physio who treated my achilles issues reckons that the root of both the achilles and sciatica issues are that I don't use my glutes enough when I run, so I compensate with a calf push, which then inflames the achilles over time. Most of the rehab I'm doing is glute work.
