Squats the Story MkII- Off topic thread

Molly

Heh, I guess that feeds into my next question, how much of an issue is 'buttwink'. I know some circles say it's the worst thing in the world and others say its' fine.

amazingemmet

If you're doing loaded squatting then buttwink should be avoided imo. The continium should be mobility, stability then load(ility)

Just a quick question on Wendlers 5/3/1 guys. Does the programme run for 3 weeks, then test and then deload or 3 weeks, deload and then test?

Just did a bit more googling. Site I was on originally wasn't very informative. On the right path now.

Anyone know where I could get Dan John & Pavel – Easy Strength? The book shop.co.uk don't have it.

If they intorduced those "squatty pottys*" that you see in Asia it would solve a whole load of hip mobility issues.

Even taking away all the office chairs would be a start.

Reminded me of the last time I had an office job ~10 years ago, when some of the behemoths that worked that started sweating from the strain of typing you'd swear something had curled up in the corner shat itself then died. I dread to think what it would be like if they were forced to stand all day

Dunno if you meant the low toilets, or these devices. You only need to raise your legs, could be 1 or 2 boxes you put your feet on.

amazingemmet

Yeah got to work that upper spiral facial line

I was referring to the toilets that are really low on the floor that you do not sit on.
The stands look interesting. I don't think I'll be installing them at home though.

Win the poker. Afford the supplements.

In terms of recovery I assume priority goes Time>Food>Sleep right?

the drifter

i think the correct formula is food + (sleep x time) + food = recovery

Simplifies to 2(food) + (sleep.time) = recovery

so food + (sleep.time) = recovery/2

so food and sleep.time only give you half recovery

Maths in lifting recovery. Baffling!

Ah I can take a fraction off my recover if food is more important than sleep. Grand.

Mr. Manager

Can someone give an answer to those who failed pass maths in the leaving cert...?

Random thought that came into my head in the gym


Have the olympics ever been held in a city that was pretty high above sea level?
If so, did weight lifting performance improve?

Mexico was the highest. No direct mention of lifting but it does say it affected most sports so I assume lifting is included

The high elevation of Mexico City, at 2,240 m (7,350 ft) above sea level, influenced many of the events, particularly in track and field. No Summer Olympic Games before or since have been held at high elevation. Although a performance reducer for endurance athletes, the thin air contributed to many record-setting jumps, leaps, vaults, and throws, as well as all of the men's track events of 400 meters and less. As a reminder of this fact, one of the promotional articles of these Olympics was a small metallic box labeled "Aire de México" (Air of Mexico), that was "Especial para batir récords" (Special for breaking records).

That's kind of what I was thinking. That the long distance events suffer due to thinner air, but the lifting, throwing, jumping events get a boost due to the barbells, shotput etc technically weighing less.

My fitness pal tells me my tbone steak is 1300 calories....bastards!

I'm assuming that's counting the fat on the steak, which I never eat (bar what renders and ends up as oil on the steak)

Don't go analysing what calories are in a steak! Just. Don't. For now, it's a ten minute stint in the sin bin.
