ok, so er, is there any disadvantage to doing wall squats and is there anything I can do about my knees?
any possibility in showing us a pic or vid of you doing squats? I'd like to see what you mean when you say you're doing it wrong.
I've never done wall squats but can imagine the huge pressure on the knees.

Sorry, at the moment I have no medium with which to take a video/ picture.
I just checked in the mirror, and my back is sort of hunched, but if I keep it straight, it hurts my lower back slightly and I can't get down as low.

If you had salmonella you wouldn't be posting in this thread, i've had it and it's unlike any illness i've ever experienced.
Key to cooking eggs is slow and steady. I tend to cook them for ages really slowly in shed loads of butter. Incredibly unhealthy but i treat fried eggs as a treat, usually having one when i'm hung over.

Sorry if its taking the thread off course slightly, is it you need to build your lower back up a bit I guess? Can you get away with a set or 2 of squats?

It was mild salmonella, in some people's situations such as yours, it can get more serious.
It may not have been salmonella, but the reasons I think it is:
.I had diarrhoea
.Fever
.Lots of stomach cramps
Not only that, but I noticed symptoms 2 days after eating the cursed egg, and it cleared up in a week.
Make of it what you will, but I reckon it was mild salmonella.

I can do 2x10 wall squats before my knees, when doing normal squats, my back hurts after 2 or 3 reps.
I had a quick go at wall squats and they put shed loads of pressure on my knees too! I dont like them, for me, I'll stay away from them!
As for your back I'm not really sure what I could suggest, since for me the squat is a core exercise of my routine, and as others might also, recommend everyone should do them. Maybe if there's someone you can see about your back or form on doing the squat, rather than doing an alternative?
I'd only do squats if that diahrhoea has cleared up, could be messy otherwise!
Like said, Those 3 things come from lots and lots of different bugs.
And i highly doubt you would get salmoneela 2 days after eating something because that is a bloody long time.
Alo incase you havtn read it read this

Salmonella is typically found on the shell anyway, besides you don't need to cook the yolk in fact it's healthier for the yolk not to be cooked as it oxidises the proteins and renders the cholesterol harder to metabolise by your body.
I like my eggs "baveuse" anyway else they taste rank. But I buy good quality eggs.

For god's sake, tell me you didn't eat them! That usually happens if the chicken farm is near a nuclear plant. The radiation gets into the egg. Never mind protein, that's a double dose of pollonium b.

My sister has her own chickens and always brings me some fresh eggs round. Most are double yolkers and sometimes even triple.... and these bad boys are proper free-range birdiesJust bought some eggs, and both eggs I cooked have 2 yolks each

The colour of the yolks is such a deep, rich, yellow, amazing difference from even the best and most expensive supermarket eggs.
If you have not already, then take a look at exrx for the squat motion.
One thing that is difficult with this is that it does not show clearly the lower back which should be curved inwards towards the stomach (think standing strait up, shoulders back, chest out, your lower back naturally curves in towards your stomach. If you curve your back out like a hump then you are compressing the inside edge of the vertebrae whilst opening the outside edge (i.e. the skin side of the spine) with heavy weight which could lead to pinching a disc or forcing it out of position. On standing up again the vertebrae will even out and if the disc has been forced out of position due to the pressure you run the risk of trapping / damaging it.
I have had a slipped disc from dragging a bag of sand with one arm at an angle with a hunched back and it was very painful for around 3 months. The only relief I got was from hanging by my arms between two chairs (dips start position). Every other position hurt like hell including lying down. Please don't anyone make my mistake.
The difficulty some people face with squats is rotating their hips so you are more or less moving your stomach towards / between your thighs whilst your knees are moving over your feet and your nipples are above your knees. The curve in your lower back will help keep shoulders back and your head naturally almost facing directly forward (a little down). Once you get the hang of the hip rotation the movement becomes very natural, almost like folding concertina paper.
Do it clean (no weight) first with arms out in front to get the hang of the movement then try with a clean (empty) bar.
Bar should be just down from the neck, on the ridge of muscle that pops out when you rotate your shoulders to be able to hold the bar. Some people use foam protectors on the bar to help with the discomfort but as advised by some helpful souls here, give it a week or two with the bar alone and the discomfort goes. I did have the bar mark on my back for a couple of hours after finishing the squats though
.I am sure others will advise with more detail if needed.
As for eggs, people here have Kaya toast and eggs which are very soft boiled and usually mixed with a little soya sauce. The whites are only half white and this is very common. I can only eat them by dipping the toast in as eating them like that straight out the bowl is a little too undercooked for me.
Poached, scrambled or fried in a non-stick pan without oil are also good. Tofu (bean curd) is great for protein but is a little tasteless. People here have it with a light sugar water for breakfast sometimes.
Cheers
