Remember to keep feet together and pointing straight when doing the stiff legged deadlift.

Mini-cycle update
I just completed the '100 per cent' workout in my mini-cycle.
All target reps completed.
Now to push on.

New shoes
I was recently in need of new shoes in which to train.
Does it matter, I hear you ask, what footwear you choose to lift in?
Short answer: yes. A lot.
After reading an article on weightlifting shoes on ExRx, I was inspired to go for a pair of Chuck Taylors for my training. They appealed to my love of old-fashioned simplicity and my natural frugality.
Two workouts in they are proving comfortable, stable and supportive. Perfect.

A change
Following a period of mild illness and a short holiday, I have had some time to re-think my training.
I feel that going 'full-bore' all the time is too much for my recuperative abilities, no matter how careful I am with rest and recovery.
Whilst I was on holiday, I took the time to re-read some of Stuart McRobert's excellent writings and have come to the conclusion that now is the time to begin cycling training intensity.
