Simo - The Red Shoe Diaries (Part 1)

Thanks!

Good news - I’m not strong all. That still seems like a weird set-up; I might try it on something lighter if I’m having trouble getting under the bar.
If I can’t get feeling ok on this, I’ll probably just do front squats until I’m back at the regular gym with the SSB.

Front squats would also solve that dilemma.

To give you an idea, this is how I did it for good mornings.

This is really clever. I’ll definitely try this for GM because I hate the straight bar

That is clever. Thank you for the picture - makes it a little more “real” in my head

You guys are over thinking this; just cut squats from the program.

But then my arse will shrink !!

Nope, you’re doing bulgarians. Those things will force you to buy new pants.

Sounds accurate :joy:

Mate, if your arse gets any bigger, you’d need a NASA satellite to photograph the damn thing.

I mean this in a complimentary fashion, naturally.

Are you just doing sets of 9 these days just to annoy me and @dagill2?

Yes definitely

Took the pup ‘Joey’ for a walk this morning and he found a tiny teddy bear. Picked it up, carried it home and played with it all day. Nothing cuter than a puppy with a tiny teddy bear !!

There’s a joke to be made here about how some sad little girl is now missing her sweet little bear and crying her little face off, but I won’t mention it.
