Sounds like you've got a bad case of being a woman.

I hear they make surgery for that now.

What'chu talkin' about Willis? Is bad ankle mobility a girly thing? Is it all those high heels I wear to work?

Well I could throw out some BS about the whole Q-angle/wide hips stuff, and the anecdote that it seems all women I've seen have had issues one way or another hitting full squat depth.

But the important matter here is that I have beer, and I'm ok with that.

Thanks for the link Paul. Every little bit helps.

So, had an exhausting workout today with the local lifters. Lots of snatches at 27.5kg to work on technique. Apparently I have way too much tension in my upper body and getting me to relax my arms has proven almost impossible. However, there's hope because out of the gazillian snatches I did, 3 were just right. For the rest, I was able to complete the lift, but basically I was using too much arm and not dropping fast enough. Frustrating.

Then came C&Js and those were fine. No problems with my upper body relaxing on these, jerks were good too. I did a bunch at 35 kgs. Ripped three calluses open. My hands are a mess and I had to tape them in the end. Finished off the workout with some 50kg front squats.

There may be a meet next month. I need to confirm the date and make sure it meshes with my schedule...but if all goes well, I'm all in.
