<p>I've also been doing a fair bit of 'proper' stretching over the last 3-4 weeks, which is probably the biggest thing I've neglected. I think much of my calf trouble is from tight hamstrings specially... I'm learning to watch rugby games while spending most of it in some form f stretch/yoga pose/whatever on the floor :)</p>

<p>Too much desk work is a postural time-bomb without it...</p>

<p>Agree 100%. </p>

<p>In fact I've just convinced my firm to buy me a standing desk.</p> -

<p>Our HO just moved to a new office for circa 100 people and they all got electronic standing desks. I was impressed with this</p> -
<p>the other option is to have a Swiss Ball as your chair at your desk.</p>

<p>Just to add another 'random question' to this thread </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was just cutting some boards for my son to take to the gym because apparently the plates they have are too thin to get the bar to a 'regulation height' for deadlifting. I didn't realise he took it so seriously and asked him how much he lifts. Is 260kg a decent effort for someone about 92kg?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He just says it's ok but it sounds a fair bit to me.</p> -
<p>That is bloody good Crucial, I'd be well pleased with that lift at 107kg!</p>

<p>Thanks. I was just curious.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Found a NZ powerlifting site and it looks like competition tops for that weight and age is about 290. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know he only does it as his own targets and isn't trying for comps though.</p> -
<p>I think there's be fuck all ( if any ) pro rugby players of 92kg pulling that sort of weight, hell of a fucken effort. I have done 230kg at 102kg and will be 39 next month so for a young fella that age that is an absolutely exceptional lift although the elite of the elite little 60-70kg powerlifters with arms and legs like milk bottles could do that.</p>
