Inspiration From: Lost, Charles Bronson and Prof. Attila's Roman Board

OK how to keep 'the wheels' if you're;
    A. Lost & marooned on an island.
    B. Find yourself in prison and lined up to spar with Charles Bronson.
or C. Just plain ol' broke and running outta room

Previously I'd blog'd the old Roman Squat complete with construction details. It niggled in the back of my mind that there must be a more simple solution. Enlightenment came via OldTimeStrongman.Com and Professor Attila.

Sig Klein demos the Roman Board (35lb 'bell)

Aha, we only need basically two items to allow us to do Roman Squats; An upright and knee supports...
Some rope, padding for the knees and a reef knot


Loop the loop (what?) around the sturdy upright


Step into the loops (facing the upright!)


Sit-back


Squat to thighs horizontal (min) curse @#$;%.

Repeat.

Yes that is pink rope - but it was all I had and cost me nowt. Obviously in prison rope will not be an option - so if you're in 'solitary' whip off your kecks (trousers) tie the legs together and use the bedframe as the upright.
