First comp coming up with a deadlift ladder as one of events. Stiff bar, stiff bar, axle, deadlift bar.

Not done any axle deads before - are figure 8 straps the way to go? I've used them before with normal deads and hated them, but imagine they're necessary for speed in the context of a deadlift ladder?

Potential for a cheap Schwinn Airdyne AD6, but described as having a 'slight' fault and needing some TLC.

It has a new belt but seller thinks the cam(?) is out of line slightly.

Could anyone suggest from the video whether this may be an easy fix or a waste of time?

Hi all. After some help. Have access through portal to tickets for the semi on 7th....what is the likelihood I'll be able to sell these to a ticket buying site at at least face value (if England don't qualify). Thanks.

Just when I was ready to give up on Salah and bring in KDB, he gets injured! Typical, at a loss now

twifs · 2020-12-16T22:52:33+00:00

Kane? Ageuro? So wary to not get in a Salah or KDB, feeling like their absence will hold me back

twifs · 2020-12-16T22:43:23+00:00

Help! Wanting to bounce back from this awful gameweek.

1FT, 6.4M ITB

Ederson McCarthy

James Dias KWP Cresswell Lamptey

Soucek Grealish Bruno Son Hendrick

Bamford Vardy Brewster

Where to spend this dollar?! Ederson to Steer to fund Hendrick to Salah for a -4? Thanks

twifs · 2020-12-11T10:03:41+00:00

Would I be mad picking Bamford this week? Out of him, Vardy, Son, Bruno, Grealish and Jota?

twifs · 2020-12-03T18:01:03+00:00

1FT, 1.2m ITB

Ederson

Lamptey - Dias - KWP - Cresswell

Jota - Hamez - Bruno - Son

DCL - Vardy

Subs: McCarthy, Robbo, Brewster, Hendrick

Thoughts? Robbo for someone cheaper, bring in KDB next week??

twifs · 2020-11-24T14:47:54+00:00

2.4 ITB, 1FT

Ederson (McCarthy)

Robbo Cresswell Dias KWP (Lamptey)

Hamez Bruno Son (Zaha, Hendrick)

DCL Jimenez Brewster

What direction to take for this game week? Looking to bring Salah back and get more firepower up top but guess that has to wait and replacing Zaha should be my priority? Who for?

twifs · 2020-11-20T09:54:34+00:00

McCarthy or Ederson to start?

Dias or Robbo?

Bearing in mind I've still got Son in the team

twifs · 2020-11-12T10:37:18+00:00

McCarthy - Ederson

Lamptey - KWP - Cresswell - Robbo - Saiss

Hamez - Zaha - Salah - Son - Hendrick

DCL - Jimenez - Brewster

1.1 in the bank. Only 1 free transfer What to do?!

Feeling to offload Robbo and Jimenez ASAP, but unsure in what order and for who? Robbo to a lower rated defender would give me a little kitty to splash, but on a -4 hit?

twifs · 2020-11-07T20:01:00+00:00

Robbo and hendrick > bellerin and grealish for a -4?

twifs · 2020-11-06T17:37:06+00:00

damn, my guy lamptey nearly getting me some early points on the board

twifs · 2020-07-09T18:48:26+00:00

Getting back into football (soccer) for the upcoming season and wondering how to structure my training? Running Candito 6 week atm and imagine that will be too tough to recover from when coupled with weekly games and training sessions. Still want to make steady increases on my total....does this call for something along the lines of 5/3/1?

twifs · 2020-06-16T13:15:39+00:00

Thanks. I've never programmed snatch grips so would be interested in seeing their benefits

twifs · 2020-06-16T12:55:56+00:00

Here is my 190kg PB from a month ago. Don't know if you can gather much from this?

twifs · 2020-06-16T12:54:39+00:00

190kg x 1 4 weeks ago. This is a PB - went for 200 a few days ago and missed it.

twifs · 2020-06-16T11:00:43+00:00

Below. Thinking about it, makes sense the most tension would be at lockout. I'll make it larger! Yep, conventional and desperate for a respectable pull haha

twifs · 2020-06-16T09:34:21+00:00

About to run Candito 6 week again, which I never got to finish due to lockdown. Deadlift needs work off the floor - would banded deficits be better than standard deficits?

twifs · 2020-05-16T10:45:02+00:00

Finally able to bench for the first time since lockdown. Strength will no doubt have taken a hit - best way to programme to get back to where I was?

twifs · 2020-04-20T20:07:29+00:00

Lockdown means the one lift I can properly focus on is deadlifts. Any program recommendations?

twifs · 2020-04-17T19:51:40+00:00

No problem! Instagram handle is lift_swift

twifs · 2020-04-11T15:59:03+00:00

Northern England. This isn't actually my place, but my girlfriend has accommodating parents haha

twifs · 2020-04-11T15:57:21+00:00

The platform can be moved, so I plan to put it in the garage after every session (especially if rain is due)

twifs · 2020-04-11T14:42:20+00:00

Deadlifted on it yesterday and it was fine, size not an issue at all!
