Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



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?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Tennis elbow is to an extent being caused by laziness. Like doing front crawl with floppy arms (I do that too).

Your ‘weak glutes’ para was a good one. We’ll have to have a posture-off next time we see each other :)

There's a lady on the interwebs who has a trademark of crushing watermelons with her thighs. Maybe we could try to crush walnuts with our buttocks? I'm sure Fetch would do a badge for that.

Looks like the thought of getting walnut shell in your bum killed the thread almost to death. Well it's resurection time!

I'm getting back to doing some strength stuff since getting over covid. I've been doing some abs, press ups, pull ups, squats (unweighted and with a small kettlebell more for posture than the added weight).

Today I've done my first back squat session where I was doing 5s and jus exploring what I could manage. I got up to 58.5kg for 5, which I was please with but I might pay for tomorrow!

Whjat have the rest of you reprobates been up to?

I’ve been playing so much tennis over the last fortnight I’ve done almost nothing else. Not ideal.

A modestly weighted circuit this morning at the gym, ten hours after last night's run. Chose several alternative exercises/routines for variety. Left the legs until last!
