Trust internet forums to e-critique your photography. How far do you have to stand back to fit in the bike mirror? ha ha..

mowing with a 100kg farmers carry, or pushing a sled with 100kg on it in front of the mower ha ha.. car window or not I have some pudding on the belly and sides to shift , no reflection is going to help that for photos. Are you saying Birds will lay a car window photo challenge down? Damn it , we must stop him! Someone sell that Martin bloke a skyline!
-
Martin is an impressive fellow. He's certainly got some dedication to lifting there. Glad he's not included now ha ha... but, great inspiration for people to give it a good go. 2.5x BW deads for reps ..... feel the burn
-
Shhhh.... saying stuff like that will just have him do it again and likely he will do more reps making it even harder for anyone to catch it. Don't make Markos drag more of his guys into this ha ha..

Thats some bad luck there. Things like this can happen and like birds , I don't think you are overtraining necessarily. You can cause the injury outside of the gym easy enough. But, it's good to have a check of your form on pressing movements once you are back in action none the less. Had a look over the workout history and once you are back on track you could do with a little more rear shoulder / upper back excersises. As your present workout is stacked a little heavy on the pushing / internal shoulder rotation. Unless you love them, you can drop the bicep and tricep parts of the workout as you are doing some good compound movements already that will work them enough. So you have mechanical proportional development. But, if you love doing them then ignor what I just wrote..ha ha.

ha ha. classic!.. my wife said the same thing yesterday. I plan to do it on Saturday. Since it's excersise , maybe I can video that as part of my workout training log...ha ha....

C'mon the rests are fine, 3 breaths according to the rules. If you were being picky it would be the bouncing for most of the reps, which are against the original 'rules' . But, since they have changed to 1.5 BW anyway and it's still a fricken awesome effort (best so far by a long way) I reckon we can overlook that. Besides , if anyone wants to try and better his effort we can look the other way on some bouncing as I doubt we are going to have too many people hitting more than 30 reps even with a little bouncing...

ha ha.. 6ft 3' . The angle/ distance of the phone and the home gym plates are fatter.and shorter. The 20kgs are about 30cm in diameter, there are a few of those on each side Front on it looks like more weight than it is. I hate the home gym gear ( it's the wifes). I am thinking about buying some Olympic weights and bar.

workout today. 30 min swim 2hr bike ride Bent over barbell rows. (strict form - hold and contract shoulder blades at top) 12x (110kg) 10x (110kg) 8x (120kg) Wide grip pull ups till failure( pause in middle and hold for 1sec on downward. Squeeze shoulder blades at top for 1sec) 25x 20x 15x deads 20x 145kg 20x 145kg 17x 145kg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVBUni5XR_A&feature=player_embedded

only thought to video the last set of 20... doh. 145kg (assume skinny bar weighs 5kg) for 17 reps I think. This was at the end of todays back workout. I think 40 or so will be do-able if I go lower on my hip position, to make it easy. Only sky high with my hip postiion on this one to hit my lower back more the weight I find a bit dinky/light (I can't stick much more on the home gym bar) sunnies fell off , Mr Wippy van music / mixed with ministry just one fix...distracting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVBUni5XR_A

Ah well thats a better explanation and I agree. However, I still static stretch before the lifts. To check ROM mostly ,so not as involved as post workout static stretching. The blood flow ,assuming warm up is a non issue. I still have my doubts about information (statistics) that indicate a decline in strength as a result just prior to lifts. There appear to be just as many recent studies debunking this idea.

workout yesterday; 30 min swim 20 min bike Cuban dumbell press 12x 10kg 12x 10kg 12x 10kg L-side Laterals 12x 10kg 12x 10kg 12x 10kg bent over Rear delt raises 15x 10kg 15 x10lg 8x 22.5kg 9x 22.5kg 10x 22.5kg

Cubans and L-Laterals. Then shoulder press once you are strong. This will have your bench going through the roof in time. Start out with just very light weights and see what you are like on them.
-
bit too general about claiming static stretches reduce strength. That chestnut is wheeled out all the time. I static stretch I don't find myself becoming a feeb., quite the opposite. They are needed to help keep alignment in posture and position for lifts in my case. As you get stronger it's good for those like me who use it to get the ROM and alignment in check. Hard training sometimes has me stretching for days in the area effected. I am not trying to have ever increasing ROM , just reach the right amount for position and lift.

bench press-itis. I have had that a long time ago. Doing the band work is good. Lay on a cricket ball roll on the muscles. Most important. Do not do bench press. I know you are doing dinky weights but, bench is only going to slow the recovery alot. As hard as it is you must walk away so you can come back and do some real heavy benching. My advice is get the rotators to the point where you can start to do cuban press, along with the other upper back things. Although I would also reccomend avoiding any heavy back movements that involve the rotators stabilising. Until they are 'tough' the rotators will just get cained. The worse thing is that they often don't give any pain feedback whilst they are being inflamed or impinged. Cuban press is your friend. For you I would reccomend trying light weights on a back extension, holding the back extension and then doing the Cuban press with dumbells. If Cubans are out then rear delt raises the same way.
-
whats the shoulder issue you have?
-
If you aren't doing pause benching then I'd reccomend switching to that in the time before the comp. You need to pause at the bottom of the rep just touching the chest (not resting heavy on it).If you haven't trained for it you will moving alot less weight at the comp.

workout today; Super set bicep curls to failure (pre-exhaust) then Pullups wide grip (pauses top and half way). 15x 12x 12x
-
feeling the presses today lots of good pain in the right places. No soreness around the left rotator cuff (so rehab is working well) , just need to work on fixing my left wrist. I had it wrapped up for the press but, it always aches.
-
cheers. I would love to eventually be able to do 150kg off the deck and 5 or 6 reps. Long way to go for that...
-
Thats true. Bad form is always well bad... However, if you know how to lift even good form isn't a replacement for strength in the supporting muscles. The excellent form can turn to bad form very suddenly when a supporting muscle gives out. So approaching heavy lifts is not only about good form and technique but also conditioning for the lift. Lifting is never really 'safe' , just relatively. So you can do the lifts with legs locked out quite safely with the supporting muscles in place and some form. I just did some 105kg-ish overhead presses today, I have a vid in my training log. My first standing ones in many years. Shows the fatigue of my last set , the form suffered a little but, it was a walk in the park for my back / legs / shoulder girdle.

todays workout; 20 min bike Standing barbell military press (video below of last set of 5) 12x 95kg 8x 105kg 5x 105kg 50 pushups consecutive. rotator cuff band exercises.
-
yesterdays workout; 1hr bike ride 30 swin in ocean.
-
it's not light for the conditioning goals you have but, it's really quite light if you are talking a standing press at your weight. Again only relative to people who care to lift heavy as their goal. I'm sure you could train to do heavier if you wanted to but, you are doing what is best for your goals. You don't need to shovel huge weights on the shoulders without good reasons anyway.
