I started doing some leg stretches a few weeks ago after I noticed my form deteriorating on the final few reps of my barbell squats. I figured it was a lack of hamstring/ankle flexibility. Anyway I started stretching and i'm really enjoying it, stretching feels great! I was about 2 inches off touching my toes before, now I can almost palm the floor. I can just about get my head between my knees in a sitting down position too (not sure what it's called).
Form has improved, I can go lower on the squats, which is always better. Core strength still could do with improving.
I'm also trying to learn the splits (sideways ones) and for some extra motivation i've put up a £20 bet that says I can do it by January 10th with a girl I know. It's pretty painful so far ... I'm gonna lose da cash aren't I .. How long does it normally take to do? Male, 1m84, 78kg. Long legs.

So he gave you a completely different account number the 1st time, what was this over the phone? Do you have a written record of the details - are the two bank sort codes the same?
The odds of transferring money into a strangers bank account due to a typo must be tiny. Idk about Germany, but here in the UK numbers are 8 digits and sort codes are 6 digits. If the 2nd account number he gave you was completely different, it's not a clerical error. Either a) He made a typo - in which case the payment would surely bounce or b) He gave you someone else's acct number & sort code or c) He has the money in his possession and is refusing to send goods.
You have a written record of both details A and details B, and you have a record of making a payment to details A. Scam or no scam, going by what you've said, I can't see how he is not 100% at fault.

Another solution is kee klamp:
http://keesystems.com/fittings/kee-klamp.htmlMight run a bit pricey, again. Depending on which fittings you use and the size. There is a load calculator somewhere online for this stuff so you may not need the diameter to be as large as scaffold tube...
Cheers, I'll look in to it when i'm asking around. I wondered what that fixing was called, after I saw this pic
Such a gorgeous set-up! If I had that I'd be set.

Hi guys. I'm up in north west London, NW9. There are quite a few building sites around here, I had a wander in to one on friday and had a quick chat with one of the tradesmen on site. I told him what I needed, showed him a drawn up a sketch of the squat cage - he said he would give me the poles for free if there wasn't a CCTV camera pointed directly to where he was, haha! I will try again and be a bit more discreet this time.
I've just been looking at prices online. By my reckoning I need 18 couplers to fix to the frame. scaffoldingsupplies.co.uk does them for about £2.50 each. So i'm looking at £50 for the couplers alone, that's not including carriage. You're right I didn't think it'd be that expensive ..
I looked around for a ready made cage and the absolute cheapest I can find is £180 on ebay. A lot of the bid auctions are flippin' miles away and collection only, and they rarely come up on Gumtree.
If I can get the everything I need for under £100, I think it might be worth going the DIY route. It's also a bit more customisable as I don't have that much space, I can angle grind the scaffolding to the size what I need (2.1x1x1 would be ideal). I've been using squat stands for the last 18 months but I want something a bit sturdier.

My abs are visible but they aren't popping out or anything. I'm around 78kg, if I was 75 then they'd be a lot more prominent.
As for the weight loss, i'm heading in the other direction. Eating some more protein and back on the squats and deadlifts routine, usually every 5 days or so. Also i've been doing weighted pullups (just a 20kg barbell weight added to a bike chain around the hips), which are I find are a really good exercise. I can just about do 10 chins b4 failure. Trying to do at 80 a day. I don't do any ab-specific exercise, they get worked during deadlifts quite a lot I find. I haven't set any goals or targets, just generally trying to do a bit a day.
