Yes. Damned giraffe-spec legs! .

My legs are lagging quite badly, I think it is because I generally avoid training legs.

Question is....who uses a plank of wood under their heels?

n00bs.

I guess it is okay to learn, but it isn't that hard to balance your feet flat on the ground.

I used it when I first started and I didn't have the flexibility in my legs. It helped with getting abit more depth in my squat. But flexibility eventually increased.

If they dont have a Mantaray at your gym just buy one, its relatively cheap

Tampons are cheaper, save your money

PB's are 220kg x 3, 200x5 and 160x20. Rock bottom depth.

Anyone raggin on wood/plates under heels... why do olympic lifters wear shoes with a chunk of wood slotted in the heel if its 'for n00bs'?

Since when do they squat at the Olympics? Silly n00b. We're talking about squats here. Not clean and jerk or snatch.

.

[NickR33]

they do a front squat in the clean and jerk and an overhead squat in the snatch

Yeah Nick is a typical Fat power lifter.

All he ever does is squat Bench and deadlift.

There are some pics of this fatty around somewhere.

I wonder how often he does DB squats?

Blah blah blah do it my way and only my way blah blah blah.

[NickR33]

man I tried to go as low as possible squatting last night and holy shit I'm sore today... maxed out at 140kg instead of usual 160kg and felt like I had a much harder workout... I'm going to work on getting deeper now instead of upping the weight

[GHOSTrun]

So how low was that Nick?

[TTT]

blah blah blah do the birds program way and after years of doing so people will still never know you've stepped in to a gym blah blah blah

I can't believe that YOU are giving people advice and distributing programs that you put together..
