    @Rossin: Seeing as you will have time on your hands and if you had the cash, you could pick yourself up a foam roller and some resistance bands and book a session or two with a PT to work out a mobility/flexibility routine that you could do. This I think would have a positive effect on your training and help with prehab/rehab.

    Just an idea

    Have a look at this E-book on myofascial release for some ideas on the use of a foam roller. And as I said try to get a mobility/flexibility routine sorted which will complement your other training.

    Ben Dunne Jervis opened a good forty minutes late this morning, apparently someone slept it out!

    The guy who did show up wasn't due to start til 12, he did apologise personally to a lot of people though. Fair play to him.

    Quater squats with way too much weight while wearing trainers and a weightlifting belt is the new fitness craze I see.

    I wouldnt recommend no runners for squatting if they were flat footed.

    I could understand it if we are talking about running shoes with the big shock absorbing heels but I squat in an old pair of vans and I never felt any issues with instability.Maybe Im not squatting enough for it to be an issue yet:D

    Yeah, any vans I had were quite flat and more like converse allstars than running shoes.

    I like training in vans, nice and flat and light. I remember seing an old vid of Dorian Yates training in big leather boots, even did cardio in them, that's bad-ass, lol :D

    Skate shoes usually compress more than Chucks.
    If you need to double check this run your hand around the inside sole of an old pair of chucks and an old pair of Skate shoes.

    The Vans usually have a big imprint of your toes, ball and heel.
    The Chucks won't.

    They're talking about slip on vans, not skate shoes.

    Where is going Paleo on a scale of 1 to Sodomy?

    EDIT: this may require its own thread.

    It depends on whether you just cut out carbs or tell people you're going paleo, brah.

    It's not that bad. I found cutting out dairy to be the hardest part as i had basically been drinking 2 litres of milk every day for the past 3 or 4 years. It helps if you really like sweet potatoes and brocolli :)
