Whoa - missed this one altogether - sorry for the late reply That happens when the data packets one's message is comprised of get routed via the Andromeda Galaxy - bit of a delay. Ja man, don't worry about it - after re-reading it, my post came off sounding like someone'd shoved a hot poker up my ****, lol! Ja -bellotoller be touchy 'bout his ab-wheel doings - and my single-leg squats are even more of a holy grosse emmerde for anyone who squints at 'em too long, lol. Any claims by me or anyone on behalf of meself that I'n press more'n a stone are to be considered dodgy at best but don't go be dissin the lunges and wheel stuff Nahh, seriously - I was a bit wound up about something else that had me really spooked, though I didn't quite realise it at the time. Funny how fear, denial, stress can mix together in odd proportions - finding oneself touchy when asked where the tin of biscuits is. Anyroad - all that. Uhmmm...no. Not the back; at least not exclusively - Its the quads (big time) - especially on the pull back - and to a lesser degree the forearms. I see what you mean - lol - yeah, as far as physical stress is felt, the quads take the lions share and then the forearms/wrist area, then the rest is equally, "shared" you might say, by the upper abs, shoulders/neck (wouldna thought that) and muscles of the back. Honestly, I've never felt more'n minimal tension in the abdominals proper and really don't feel anything at'tall with respects to the lower abs - hence my response about not getting anything from it. I don't know enough about anatomy/physiology to know if that's completely off the wall or not with respects to what I should be experiencing, some glitch in the neurotransmitters that's having the effect of skewing my perception of what's taking place ( though I really don't think that's the case ) or what. No, the stresses are definately spread over quite a number of different disparate muscles/muscle groups - not just the abdominals - as even the most rudimentary glance at the mechanics of it would suggest. Ha, FWIW - after 6 -8 weeks or whatever its been - there's that. Log looks fit as a fiddle, BTW
belltoller, thanks for the post. I got to read it today and it lightened up my mood. Also, no worries. You didn't come off as rude in the first place. So, I have neglected my log for the past few weeks, mostly because my training has been pretty erratic. I have been training 1-2 times a week, light stuff and pretty low volume. I have been doing mostly squats and bench press and I haven't increased the weight in either exercise for ages. Squats 80kgs 1x8, 2x6 Last Saturday's log Overhead Press 40kgs 1x10,2x8 For some reason my shoulder strength hasn't declined in the past 3 months that I've been messing around.

Arms and back seemed to do the work, but at least my shoulders didn't hurt.
