Off topic I know, but damn, what a process. So glad to be a man.

She might not bench or squat much, but I was pretty impressed with her strength today!

Squat PR this morning YEWWWWWW

PR as in a PB? Awesome job :D

Thanks guys, and a hat tip to the women in your lives who have had kids, not an easy process.

Back on topic. Can't saying having my feet strapped so tight has really made much of a difference to my back, and I haven't been doing any gym work since Friday and I wouldn't be inclined to say it's improving through not using it (not using it heavily through gym).

I'll get a start on the oblique work and see if that helps. Anyone have any personal favs improving oblique strength?

Cable woodchops (as I'm sure Birds will agree) are amazing for obliques. I can't find you a demo video right now since I'm at work and uboob is blocked :(

you must of totally missed my point last page about the squats/deads and weak core.....

Edited by jangles

Not at all, I know a strong core is needed and that doing the motion helps.

But if I'm having issues at only 50kg squat and SLDL hen I've either got some sort of imbalance due to my leg or poor core strength from being laid up.

Want to fix it so I can squat MOAR.

The fix to a weak core is to squat more.

to be able to squat more you need to squat more.

any further questions?

also, try overhead squats.. even light (which is all you'll be able to do at first) will smash this "core" you keep referring to.

I know you like reading so..

for those in the TL;DR group.

Squat!

    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
    • Ran into this bloke trying to give Oscar some advice pre-race today.
    • Yeah I've personally seen the RB26 pull 30 degrees of ignition timing out of the base timing map if the ECU detects a cold start, it nearly starts misfiring because of it around 2000 rpm and it feels like the engine has no power. I'm just surprised that modern OEM control strategies are actually trading off efficiency for in-cylinder emissions. I would expect something like aggressive EGR dilution + tumble generation valve use to improve EGR tolerance to reduce in-cylinder NOx + HC from crevice volume while also reducing throttling loss vs pulling out some timing if not knock-limited.
