I guess the larger numbers are lbs. :). Isn’t it 1 kg = 2.2 lbs?

On a slightly different tack, how long does it take you to crank out a workout like this?

BTW, I’ve been using sage lately after a few experiments with feedreaders. Nice browser-based solution for keeping up to date. Coupled with del.icio.us bookmarking probably an effective way to stay on top and archive the good stuff.

Near enough. 1kg = 2.2046 lb :)

A workout like this takes around 15-20 mins (guess only - I rarely time them). Same setup for each exercise, and only 4 plates involved - nice and simple.

I’ve gone back to using Sage myself; the only thing that frustrates me is that it doesn’t indicate the feeds which have had updates since the last site visit. It’s still much faster than loading each site individually (or as tabs), but not as fast as it could be.

I’m yet to spend any length of time with del.icio.us, though it looks like a good way to store info. I take it you’re using it a bit?

Yes, I am using del.icio.us. It has a nice firefox plug-un. It’s possible to use it to create a sort of attention stream.

Sage does indicate feeds that have new posts if you refresh all. I think it compares the pubDate of items with when you last checked the feed.

From the exercises link at right :

‘Dimel deadlift

This exercise was employed to great effect by powerlifter Matt Dimel (hence the name), who used it to help move his squat from a respectable 820lb to a massive 1010lb in just two years.

This lift is similar to the main part of a Romanian deadlift. Using a narrow stance, medium overhand grip (at the rings) and a comparitively light weight (30-40% of your deadlift 1RM), stand up with an arched back. Squat down with the glutes pushed back, not letting the knees travel forward. Lower the bar quickly to just below the knees; then return explosively to an upright stance. The entire movement should be fast, and is usually done with reasonably high reps (20 or so).’

I suspect you’ll like them. Good warmup for the hips and lower back.
