No Crust Racing

Sounds awesome but too involved for lazy me. I'm trying to bring some fun back into the workout for the moment.

They're too busy avoiding you after catching you staring at theirs lol

Getting props from random gym girl, lol nice. In my head she's really hot and you two end up making out.

max effort's aren't always pretty Leesh, if they are they are not your max. Given you did so many reps prior, you'd pull 95 with ease if you weren't as fatigued - if we're just talking how good your 1RM looks. Probably find you can pull 105-110 without all that volume first BUT I know why you do volume and that's fine, just saying, don't stress if your 95 wasn't beautiful.

Tablet/in my head. I'm relaxing my approach a little as I've got enough size and weight, 6ft and 88kg is heavy set enough for me as I'm a fairly fine boned person (small wrists etc) So I'm just playing with weights and exercises to see what feels good and allows slow progress, as in only getting 20 reps on a 24 rep scheme for bench means it's too heavy so I'll drop it back to where I can get say at least 22 and work from there. With the legs just keeping them going while I sort out what's up with my back/leg. Walking to try and burn some extra calories and trim up a little while the planking is to get some core strength back as no squatting means far less core recruitment than I needed previously and the Chiro recommended them.

Awesome job on the deads, keep in mind I never got about 110-115 or so before busting myself up again and you're a good 20-30kg lighter than me, doing fantastic

Gym last night, think I'll drop a touch off the bench again as I'm hitting 8-7-5 and I'd rather be going 8-8-8 or at worst 8-8-6 8-7-5 at 110 = 2200kg, 8-8-6 at 105 = 2305kg and if I go 100kg it's 2400kg lifted if I get them all(which I should come close to). So I'm playing with weights at the moment to get as much volume as I can right now. Did a bunch of 20 reps BW squats between sets of things, many sets of calf raises, some weighted (only 3kg) and many sets of lunges plus my planks etc. Chins I went 8-8-6 at 20kg and felt I was pulling higher and clearing the bar more. Dips I added 1.25 and made the full 3x8 at 26.25kg - just. Went for a 3k walk up the hill also. Murica.

It won't, well done

That should be enough then, and supps aren't needed if you're diet is good Mine isn't so I supp a little.

I'm thinking you're right. Aside from the obvious mechanical problems of the leg rotating out foot roll inwards. A podiatrist will help me with that though.

To stop people's bad habit of looking at the ground and allowing the upper back to round. Chin up chest up. That was covered in those so you think you can squat videos, which I though you showed me.

A good stretch after a workout helps me avoid doms, that and a protein shake straight away with some creatine in it. My interest in supps is purely recovery and they work for me in that regard.

But really, it's home time and the guys are at my place doing site works on my shed then I have to get to a mates place to work on my car. Catch.

Now we're onto costs....

I are confused. But I did download that PDF, which is now on my tablet.

Hah, cheers. No, just prem-tmping you after you got into me the other day about being a fat kent lol I didn't realise Butt Wink was a move/thing/issue, thought you were being a smart ass. Learning every day.

Yes yes, I'm eating better and doing more cardio, so I'm not as fat. Fasting is still gay. The same issue? What's that in your opinion, lack of knowledge?

Your partly right, I don't know why my leg rotates out and my foot rolls in, I need to educate myself on that front. I'll see a specialist, do some more reading etc. The rest is really just "in general, what improves mobility?" stretching specific exercises etc? I "guess" the answer is all of the above and then some. I see what you mean about wanting a magic bullet rather than just finding out the answers to those questions myself. Which after talking about it, is what I should be doing to some extent. By "to some extent" I mean because my "issues" are probably complicated by the previous injuries so a specialists still seems like a good idea to me. No harm done.

It's all good, not expecting a web diagnoses. This was just a general conversation topic more than anything. "People often talk about "improving mobility" but how is that done really? Stretching? Stretching with weight? Actual exercises? Corrective equipment (orthotics etc)" This was a bit more specific though. "My "bad" leg wants to rotate out and that foot wants to roll over onto the inside. How do you specifically fix something like that when it occurs with no weight on board." But I know the answer is almost always going to be, see someone, it could be a million things, show us a vid etc. Which I might do next gym session to add to the discussion and to assist anyone else who might come in here or have the same issue. I'm pretty verbose, not disputing that. SAU has a great ignore feature, I've got a few people on there so it might be a good idea to use that. Again, not being a smart arse, just a suggestion to make your life easier. Not looking for a magic bullet at all, discussion, suggestions, sure. Yours was buy a specific book you liked, thank you for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind if I have no luck at the Chrio and Podiatrist.

"already thrown in your 2 cents, you don't need to reply. " What is this thread/sub-forum coming to these days, almost can't talk about anything gym or supp related without somebody getting their nose out of joint. Guess we better close the thread, as every topic has already been discussed and we never ever cross the same ground twice. Your reply could have been as simply as; "I think I mentioned before, I bought the book "Supple as a Leopard" for $60, best thing I ever did, give it a whirl". I don't think I could be accused of not trying different things, but I haven't followed your exact suggestion of buying that book so judge away.

Fair enough, I'm addressing things bit by bit and spending on trying to fix/avoid/repair etc so it's not like I'm not dong what's been suggested, sans buying a book, though I read plenty online. The question is more so for those who have had success with a particular process/concept etc. You mention you bought a book, I'm reading online, we're both reading. I get what you are saying. What have others had success with? It's just a discussion. If you're not up for that sort of discussion or have already thrown in your 2 cents, you don't need to reply. Not being a smart ass.

Which implies you think the first point is the better one. So how does one specifically improve that? I'll be seeing a Podiatrist soon to see what's going on mechanically as I do not move anywhere near the same as I used to. People often talk about "improving mobility" but how is that done really? Stretching? Stretching with weight? Actual exercises? Corrective equipment (orthotics etc) My "bad" leg wants to rotate out and that foot wants to roll over onto the inside. How do you specifically fix something like that when it occurs with no weight on board.

Went to Chiro, she said keep up the exercise, said back required less correction this time and recommended a local Podiatrist. Will make an appointment with him to see what we can do mechanically to avoid further issues, improve mobility etc. I'll get this sorted eventually. The 13th was a year since I broke my leg and dislocated my ankle. Also, sit works for my shed starts today, woo.

It's better than nothing by a long shot. Keep it up.

Yeah but I do less than 25 reps per exercise to your 100 lol
