Actually feel these more in the quads and glutes than a regular HBDL, unfortunately the grip goes before the legs and back.

Been dying with the damn flu for the last 3 days, the usual, sore and fatigued and the loaf hasnt stopped banging ffs. Still, running water and all that…
Did some mobility work and light training today, was beginning to stiffen up. Made a sweet home gym purchase today, the plate loaded chest supported row machine in the last video i put up two posts ago. Getting for half the price the gym owner paid for it, delivered and all. Well happy with that.

Still absolutely dying with this flu, but got a liitle done in the gym today

On a separate note, as a member of the loyalist community here in Northern Ireland am deeply saddened by the loss of our queen, i was fortunate to have breifly met her when she met with children (from both sides of the community) whom where victims of the troubles. The end of a great era.

Long live the new king
