Fo...No fair switching Firesign Theatre characters. For those of you who don't know, George Leroy Tirebiter is the hero of the record "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers". Bosco, on the other hand, is short for Mr. Bosco Hearn, a character in I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus (and possibly also a reference to the chocolate sauce).<br /><br />The set-up for Triangle is actually a pose of its own, called Warrior 2. And I find it really demanding, like you say, when you are honest about getting a true 90 degree bend in the lunging leg.

And then deciding whether to go 100% into the setup, with thigh/ femur honestly parallel with the floor, or justifying a little cheat (maybe 5 degrees or so) on the basis that my breathing requires it. The pose itself is also quite a challenge, but more from the standpoint of balance and concentration; it doesn't require as much strength.<br /><br />I like the morning classes too, but rarely get to them except on Saturdays (although not today).
