    I came up with an idea to make my own antacid tablets. I got baking soda -sodium bicarbonate, and made it into a paste and spread it into a tray for making mini ice cubes. I then left it to dry out for a few days. Now I turned it over and out pop little hard cubes of baking soda which can be popped like pills. I now get ~1400 tablets for the price of 24!

    Might be useful for glucose, electrolytes or creatine or other supps, not sure how creatine is OK to wet and then dry out, glucose should be fine.

    I meant to send it to you.
    It seems to have been taken down.

    It was incredible.
    Literally everything you can do wrong this dude was doing.
    Back arched like a railway bridge, starting the EPIC hitch before the bar even got to the knee.

    And best of all a spotter was there counting off his reps....

    It was probably more functional that way :)

    Do any of ye know how to scale Crossfits Cindy workout? I don't want to do pull ups and I remember reading somewhere you can scale it to do rows instead of pull ups.

    Might give that a go - the setup in my gym is terrible for inverted rows though, do you do them on the bench or a smith?
    Cheers G86 :)

    I usually use the smith machine. Just set it to waist(ish) height.

    Smith machine or rings will do the job, the rings make them a bit harder.

    Gym has a new setup - smith machine is jammed up against some other cable machine, so you can't really put your feet on a bench when doing them, will try to work something out.
    Do you stick to the 5:10:15 format with the rows?
    I just got up to get a drink and my legs are killing me already from Monday - not looking forward to this :/

    Yeah I use the same reps. You could just do them with your feet on the ground. Do you have rings, no? Other option is to do them off a bar in the power rack if no-ones using it.

    The rings also allow a greater ROM, you can pull yourself up past where a bar would be. I am currently doing rows with ropes, greater ROM and trains grip too. A couple of large towels or bedsheets over a chinup bar can act like ropes.
