Aaaarrrrggghh! Don't remind me; I HATE chemistry; PV=nRT used to haunt me! lol

air pressure acts in ALL directions, so unless there is a breeze blowing as you measure yourself then it can be ignored.

just goes to show you can't trust these engineers

Had an early morning gym sesh today, which included a set of 8 baby squats (not proper ones!), but at 140kg, my heaviest yet. I was probably down 2/3 of the way to parallel thighs, but was just pleased to be able to stand up with the weight !

12 x 140 kg proper parallel squats is one of my DD goals.

Shuts added a superset of machine bicep curls and tricep push downs to this routine, so that plus my clean & press makes at a kanckering workout now. I think he thought it was too easy for me as it was. I get no allowance for being old and creaky and having poor flexibility.

Thats serious weight on you're back... I got to 130kg without quite getting to parallel and you really feel it across you're back!

I did say I didnt know anything about the weather n that lark! I am used to using pressure as force/area of somthing physical (like the pressure I weight would impose) on the floor.

How flexible do you need to be you soft bugger?

You are only bending your knees - not wrapping your feet around your head or doing the splits!

If you are doing proper parallel squats, you need hamstring flexibility ;-)

Are you going to be providing video evidence Jimmie?

@ Shuts - I knew I could rely on you not to be impressed ! I'll get there, just you wait and see

@ Gubernatrix - I'm not sure if I would be able to hold a video cam and squat as well ;-).

I do have a plan to prove that I have reached my goals to your and his satisfaction !
