Thanks for posting Captain!

I do need to take some more vids. I will do so next week at the latest for sure.

Have recently ditched the sneakers and gone socks/barefoot for DL’s & Squats, so getting used to that still. Mobility is not too bad, although the hips could always be better.

Was contemplating a simple cardboard box or similar to squat to for depth. But looking to also introduce more single leg squat work too going forward.

(No kids distractions yet - but its mighty cold here atm still, frost on the windscreen this morning).

Might give the board a go though. Plenty of timber offcuts in the shed. Long live the shed gym!

Im loving weighted dips at the moment myself. I was a little concerned it would be too much for the shoulders, but my shoulder haven’t felt better.

How do you find the triple threat core workout? I am thinking about trying it. Also how do you find the shoulder shocker? that is something else I wouldn’t mind trying for a while?

Hope you have some chicken soup? Nothing better to help with a flu.
