Pix, how about a couple of PT sessions to make sure you're using equipment correctly and effectively?

What an excellent suggestion Meg.

And/or next time you go up to Dino land get El Bee and V-rap to do a weights session with you!

I'm not sure how to put this nicely without it seeming a bit pointed but I'm going to try:

Mr. Kodo - it's exactly the sensitivity demonstrated in your last post that allows me (as thread boss, hem hem) to tell you you're always welcome. I'm not sure what it is, but you and SPR manage to be helpful, supportive and FAIR without ever sounding patronising or me-me-me-ish.

So kudos to you!

I did Pistol squats last week for the first time and my legs were screaming the next day. They are hard!

I don't think I can! Bulgarian split are hard enough for me!

ASIDE: nothing left my legs screaming quite like 40 single leg Relevés on Sunday though!

I agree, Sharkie, I think HK and SPR have been utterly respectful of the fact that they are in a female space when posting on this thread, and I appreciate their contributions.

I was pondering that as a Christmas present Meg!

What are the thoughts on those doorway pull up bars?

I'm starting to get into a bit of a routine of twice a week which is a good start

I had to do a modified version, Sharkie :) They were followed by Bulgarian split squats. I've just about got the hang of those and no longer wobble.

I had a doorway pull up bar, EP. When Mr GM took it down, after it had been up for a year, the paint came off the doorframe. I wasn't popular :)
