Cheers mate, not sure what I’ve got myself into tbh, the guy I’m doing it is a ex marine so he probably push the pace quite hard but looking forward to it like a challenge | ||

Yeah ok deadlifts I’m half way through ed coans program and for squats I’m doing this kinda power building program, numbers are slowly building up, I think when my bench program is done I’ll drop that back to twice a week and up the squats and deadlift concentrate on those for a while, how’s your training going? Not too bad, squats have gone a bit crap kind of lost my technique couldnt get depth tight hips , so lots of stretching plus tried some heeled shoes for squats that totally screwed it up,I'm not a great squatter anyway,deadlift is ok might be a pb in the wings, bench wise had to ease back a little like strain in my armpit? But it's eased off now, trying to get tighter the new shoes are helping with not raising off the bench, so all is pretty average lol could be worse .........could be marching over the beacons.hope you have a blast.  | ||

I think you should watch the chris duffin vid on mobility on youtube he does it with mark bell and silent mike, really good exercises for warming up the hips for squats and deadlifts which might help you out. I think the only blast ill have will be out of my flair gun for mountain rescue to come save me lol | ||
