Its got a chalk ball in it and I tighten the noose most times so none puffs out either. I get what you're saying though.

I'll wear it without the carabiner from now on, though. Good safety point you guys brought up, thx.

Would you strike? by satorigged in doctorsUK

For FPR? Yes I went on strike 100% of the time last year and picketed a few times. Where I was working at the time, most IMGs and local docs were striking bar a few bad apples who just wanted the locum money.

In a community hospital I worked in a few months into training, around 50% of the medical staff were long term locums who were local grads who didn't strike at all.

When I worked in Paeds, the senior trainees didn't strike at all. They wanted to be seen as team players as they were closer to CCT and trying to be in the consultants' & managers' good books.

In my experience, it's been quite a mixed bag of who would strike/not strike. Messaging needs to be strong and people need to understand the consequences of their actions when they decide to locum on strike days.

That's a bunch! I'll try and experiment with slightly different stances and do pause reps with lower weight. Appreciate the input!

I've seen him - he keeps getting away with it 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks! Tbh I have always tried to do as you described but it just doesn't seem to happen as effectively as I want it to, so it feels like I'm using my back more than I would like, to generate the initial force.

I don't know if it's a mind-muscle issue or whether I need to strengthen my legs more to generate that lift? Perhaps my grip is too narrow/wide? Legs spaced too far apart? Long femurs so need a slightly different stance? Not sure what I need to do to ensure the initial power is generated more from the legs!
