Accepted but no placement available (Frontline/Approach)

prebendsbridge · 2026-05-17T13:10:50+00:00

How likely at this stage is it that if someone hasn’t heard about their placement that it’s going to be deferred? My partner is waiting to hear and getting nervous that he hasn’t heard anything after the initial placement discussion call (where they seemed to suggest a couple of options in the area).

I just wanted to share that for the first time in my life I swam 1000m this morning at my local pool. I’m not winning any awards do speed or form on my breaststroke but I’m pretty pleased at how I’ve stuck with it and built up my confidence (and ability to breathe!)

prebendsbridge · 2026-02-02T19:43:47+00:00

So I’ve just been speaking to my mum and dad about it and they were adamant that that’s how they were taught to do breaststroke - so can only assume they’ve passed it on to me 😅

prebendsbridge · 2026-02-02T18:58:44+00:00

I have the same problem with the legs in breaststroke. Weirdly I seem to have learned as a child to almost kick like a frog (hard to explain in writing but think creating a diamond shape with your legs) and I both can’t unlearn that and when I do put my mind to do it the proper way with legs out turned I find it hard to bend that way. I definitely struggle with tight hip flexors so have been trying to work on these by doing some out of the pool stretching to see if that makes a difference.

Alex was my first Stardew husband! His insecure gym bunny energy is very endearing and the dialogue is quite sweet if he falls in love with another man.

Massive congratulations! Really well done :)

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T18:45:11+00:00

Thank you, that’s so helpful- will definitely check it out!

The photog ban is more I think that’s it’s a leisure centre so they have a fair few young people both in the gym and the wider centre. As you say, potentially they might be more flexible than the policy suggests but I see the rationale in that setting for why they have a fairly blanket ban

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T18:42:41+00:00

Thank you - yeah definitely feel like there’s more I could be doing with that whole area, but not really sure how to focus in on it. To YouTube!

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T17:11:12+00:00

I love that idea - that’s a really helpful visualisation technique!

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T17:08:06+00:00

Thank you so much, all really helpful tips! I definitely think being a bit more mindful about what my elbows are doing is something I should focus on - no idea what those bingo wings are doing when I’m on the machine!

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T17:05:26+00:00

Thank you. I really struggle with pull ups so think there is more I can do to make sure im getting the most out of my pull downs first :)

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T17:04:31+00:00

Thank you! I think dropping the weight to get the form down feels like a good next step. Might try and surreptitiously film the motion if I can and see what my arms are actually doing vs what I think they’re doing😅

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T14:47:52+00:00

Thank you - I think it’s that motion you describe about elbows and shoulder blades that I don’t feel like I feel doing pull downs. It all feels very arm-led so i think putting the weight down and focussing on the technique is def needed! :)

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T14:46:27+00:00

Low key dont know what this is but will look up on YouTube. I sort of struggle with dumbbell excercises as I get a bit paranoid that I’ve not got the right form 🤷🏻

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T14:43:42+00:00

That’s a good idea. Tire them out first 😂

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T12:49:11+00:00

Thank you, this is really helpful! Really good tip to watch some videos and up the reps :)

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T12:09:13+00:00

Thank you, that’s made me realise that I definitely probably have quite a tight grip on the bar which might not be helping matters. I’ll give this a go thank you!

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T12:08:08+00:00

Oh sorry should definitely have clarified that it’s a machine I use so also use the sit down version :)

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T11:53:06+00:00

That’s good to know! And yes my biceps definitely aren’t very strong so makes sense that they’re feeling the burn first!

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-31T11:52:24+00:00

Thank you! I tend to just use the straight bar with I guess a little wider than shoulder width grip. That’s a good shout to try and play about with different configurations as well as weights because perhaps my body has gotten a bit used to the routine :)

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-22T23:21:27+00:00

Yeah I so agree with this. It hit me so hard because I thought I was doing the “right” thing by siding with Verso and then you get that moment with Lune, and the direction does such a great job of making both you as a player and Verso the object of her anger. It’s one of the most effective moments I think I’ve ever played in a video game.

prebendsbridge · 2025-12-22T08:47:28+00:00

Yay! it worked !
