I found balance harder than the actual move, reps were low and will stay that way until I become comfortable.
As for form, I think it's pretty good but might get my girlfriend to record me over the weekend so I can view it myself
I just found this, very funny and true
Down the road, in a gym far away
A young man was heard to say
"No matter what I do, my legs won't grow!"
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, leg presses too
Trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he'd do!
From the corner of the gym where the big guys train
Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
Where the big iron rides high, and threatens lives
Where the noise is made with big forty-fives
A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees
A very big man with legs like trees
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
Chalked his hands and monstrous back
Said, "Boy, stop lying and don't say you've forgotten!
Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN'!"

haha thats awesome
I don’t have much to post for training today, I’ve been getting some back pains in the past few days, probably from terrible posture at work so I put the deads on hold and did some leg curls instead but I found squatting OK
Smith Machine Squats (at the gym with no squat rack)
5 x 220
5x 308
5x 374
4x 418
6x 374
10x308
10x308
I’m pretty pleased with my squatting progress, especially as I’m still losing weight, my legs are looking far more impressive while I squat at least They still look skinny but at least now you can pick out the different muscles as I lift, I love vanity

Rich I posted a video for ya on my blog. Once it is processed you can view it.
I’m getting an old beer keg tonight so once I’ve worked out how to fill it with sand or water I’ll post up some more pictures of my training
Anyway, I think I made a bit of a breakthrough today, I started with squats 1x5 @ 198 to warm up and then 5x10@ 264 to stay with the high rep theme I’ve been running with my squats but trying a new rep range.
The breakthrough can with doing some single leg curls; I started by doing a couple of sets using both legs and then once they felt shattered I switched to single leg to finish them off. This is when I made the discovery; when my legs are fresh I have a pretty good strength balance between the two, and for single leg squats my legs are always identical in all areas but it seems that when my legs are tired my left leg is far, far stronger than my right. It’s so much stronger that I could probably manage about 30% extra load on the left hand side
I’m wondering now if that’s the reason my deadlifting progress stalled in such a huge way but my squatting is still improving at a good rate
From now on I’m adding single leg deads and curls at the end of every leg day to try and address the balance and doing 10 reps on the left and 12 on the right to try and get that right leg up to speed

Did you get the keg? I should be securing two 35lb kettlebells this week. A guy at work randomly started talking about exercise. He said someone on his delivery had given him 2 kbs for Christmas about 2 years ago but hasnt used them. I said I'd buy them.
Typical though that he said he wants to lose weight so he is concentrating on upper body because he bikes and walks at work.

Running slow in here arent we lads?
Typhon, you busy lately or something mate, your not posting much.
Just about to go to MMA
Just a lot of other **** to deal with; close to losing my job again I think, but also close to becoming a Director of a new company so my nerves are on edge a little
Also, the forum kinda sucks lately so not enjoying posting here so much right now
Yea the forum is boring lately.
And well i hope you become a director man! That would be good.
Here she is, the landlord gave me an old fashioned one with corks so it would be easy to fill. It already seems pretty heavy though, I'll have to get it weighed
