They look OK, more expensive than pullum which I have (green).

Icecold, I've been having trouble recently with shoulder stability on my seated DB press. I'm all over the place when pushing the weight up, even on relatively low weights.
Is it possible that this could be a mobility issue? If it is, any suggestions on how to help remedy it?

LiE, yes, I showed that to someone on here a couple of weeks ago because a friend of mine has one. Don't remember if the person got it though.
DA, it could be a few things. Most likely, you have week shoulders. Reduce the weight and take things more slowly, making sure you use a full ROM with proper form (back against backrest with no arch).
Alternatively, something could be tight or not working properly and pulling you out of the groove.

Thanks Ice, you're probably right about the weakness of my shoulders. Is there anything to be gained from maybe using the machine instead/as well as for awhile, or should I just stick with the DB free weights?!
Also, I've recently started to jog up the Wrekin and have been suffering with quite debilitating pain in the sides of my lower legs and my hammies, is this something that could be eased by doing some soft tissue work? I don't normally get any pain when I train legs, but this was torture almost!

I'm interested to see if anyone has bought the bands and has noticed a different with/without them.
I've got ridiculously tight hamstrings/calfs to the point that the hams pull on my pelvis and rotate it round giving me lower back ache, I can only raise my leg to about 25-30 degrees up toward horizontal and if I got running i very quickly suffer from tighting of the muscles causing my legs to go numb.
I'm wondering if these kind of stretches would help with this? Ice any tips?

Not exactly, but he was saying that resting my foot on something while sitting with the weight on my heal could have caused posterior translation of the shin bones relative to my foot. Kelly also talks about this, so I assumed that's what was going on. Turns out that this isn't my problem.
