    Sounds like the same reason I switched over to sumo, after I did my lower spine a few times in the past that put me out 6 months at a time. I didnt just want to give up (plus it wouldnt be me if I wasnt walking around with some kind of injury!), so thought I'd give sumo a try. Took some getting...

    Nice one! How you finding Sumo? I've not long switched to it as it seems a lot easier for me. I managed 180kg DL before fracturing ankle a few weeks ago. Although Im like 20kg heavier than you :D, so that's some impressive lifting!

    Yea, I'd do the bigger compounds first like Squats/RDLs and then go on to the Isolation based ones like BSS. Instead of say seated hammies, switch over to DB RDL (I've recently started doing these for my hammies and have found they hit really well as an assistance). So, day 1 could be Squat and...

    I love Bulgarian Split Squats. I try to do them on every leg session.. Then proceed to have doms for a few days after a good sesh. I do still do leg press (or hack squats) after them as a finisher, but for me, they're a great assistance alongside squats.

    Hah, thanks. I do remember the good ol days of friendly competition in here. I'm pretty sure im I won't be catching up anytime on squats and deadlifts just yet. Knowing my luck, ill push it and just injure myself again

    Definitely feeling the age creeping in lately, turning in to one of those 'weather is changing, can feel it in my joints'. Had a bit of a bad time with knee awhile ago and finally getting back in to training properly again.. Although its going well at the moment, I might attempt to see if I can...

    Yea, this what I currently do. Everyone does international chest day monday, so I start with legs as the machines are all free then decide on shoulders or chest the next day depending if all the gym bros are in :D This is probably the most consistent I've been to gym in quite awhile and really...

    Squat and deadlift form is coming along nicely. Managed 140kg on squats and 150kg on deads for a few singles. Havent tried bench yet (everyone here seems to love chest day and they're always taken), but OHP I got up to 75kg for singles, so thats not too shabby with a broken body like :D Forgot...

    Well, finally back after the gym and enjoying it again after being hit n miss last year. Found one near my that has a lot of equipment to play with :D Although back to working on my form for starters!

    Charity shops getting stupid with prices

    A lot of the time when stuff comes in, if the person donating is a 'gift aider', they can add 20% to the price and if the item looks valuable, they'll always check eBay for what items have sold for, that are the same. A lot of the time they're open to haggling, especially if the item has been...

    8 Pack Matching RAM?

    I just got some cheap corsair rgb vengeance pro too (same speed as yours) and now to decide on what to do with this 8Pack RAM. I did mix it up for giggles and it did boot with a lovely 96gb showing.. I'd like to see Cities use that much RAM now.. I'll give the Mrs a week before she's downloaded...

    8 Pack Matching RAM?

    2x16GB currently, same as yours. I wish I added more to the original build, but really didnt realise how much RAM these games like once you start adding mods/assets. So, im the same boat as to whether replace it all or mix it up.

    8 Pack Matching RAM?

    I'm glad you asked this as im in the exact same boat as you. I didn't know if to get the same RAM, replace or see if I can mix it up (Cities Skylines is the chrome of games, it really likes to eat RAM!)

    GIGABYTE M32U issue

    I've just started encountering this issue too. Started this week and looking at my power settings, that setting was already enabled. Atleast it isnt/wasn't just me and I'll keep seeing if I can fix mine.

    Pokemon Unite

    My nephew has just got me to play this after we'd been playing some Mobile Legends and Wild Rift. So, thought I'd see if anyone has started playing this yet. Games are pretty short which can sometimes be a good thing if you just want to jump in for a quick game or 2. Events dont seem too bad...

    Soldier of Fortune 2 - ClanBase - OSP

    wow, that is a blast from the past.. SOF2 was my very first FPS game and still talk about the good ol days on there, the art of strafe dancing/leaning. I used to play mostly on normal damage servers (COP/SAW) or when they brought out the 3rd person mod. Mainly went by SenZ or Deception. Never...
