Okay might actually give them a try holding the bar the way you described it. Screwed my back up holding the weight across my chest so you are probably right that this is the cause of the problem. I still think that heavy carries are a good way to train core strength though.
What do you think about doing situps on a GHD machine (with a straight back and not overarching the back)? No decline bench at the crossfit gym I train at over the summer. Have never done toes to bar before so will try them as well.

why are planks terrible? situps are definitely not "easy" on the back

Form on squats looks pretty solid to me. The only thing I have to note is that I wouldn't squat in converse chucks as they don't offer any stability whatsoever and you can see that your foot collapses inwards quite a bit.

I also watched poland vs portugal. You thought this was a good game? I found it a really shitty one to be honest haha... like the first half was okay, a few nice plays. But in the second half all the players from poland seemed out of energy and only stood in the penalty area defending. Portugal on the other hand did not seem to have any crucial ideas to score and when they did, Cristiano Ronaldo messed it up. At some point in the overtime both teams just seemed to be content with the penalty shootout.

I'm sorry to hear that your brother is going through this. My brother also had a very hard time with me when I was battling depression in the past. But even though I pushed him away and hurt him so many times he stuck with me and kept believing in me and it's probably thanks to him that I'm still here and alive today. I can't describe how much this means to me. I really hope that you hear from your brother soon and that things work themselves out somehow.

Or how Neil deGrasse Tyson stated: "The good thing about science is that it is true whether you believe in it or not." 

Can I join too... please?

my list:

- biceps tendonitis in my right shoulder
-> actually diagnosed as a SLAP(labrum) tear by one orthopedist
- shoulder impingement
- "tennis elbow" for almost a year (both elbows)
- patellar tendonitis (?) in both knees (on and off)
- jumpers knee
- Cam impingement and a partial labrum tear in my left hip
- several severe ankle sprains, actually (partially)torn two ligaments once
- back pain which was eventually diagnosed as two bulging discs in my lumbar spine

... come to think about it, I never strained or pulled a muscle and never broke a bone... yaaayy I'm invincible!!

You're going to visit Switzerland, where are you going?
