Troy - tried the Natural PB yet?

mow your lawn mang

Bad luck Charlie. did a doc/physio diagnose this ligament tear? or is it currently just a sore shoulder? If you haven't already, Ice the shoulder. Does it hurt the whole time or only in certain positions/movements?

Are you using 10/15kg plates or are you 7' tall?

lol.. yeah that's what these guys are doing. She'll be good competition for Brisbanes Amy Thompson 140kg Deadlift; 100kg Squat; 70kg Bench @ 54kg Bodyweight

Kids such a freak.

ooooooo so close... wrapped or naked knees?

Don't hurt yourself before states Nick.

that looks delicious

Bring me one of each animal...

Exactly. Troy is young... he should be able to do it.

You know what the cure is?

I suggested different rep ranges and weights purely for different work loads and to give your joints a break. I don't understand or give a shit about fibers. Squats are Squats... Just do them and eat more.

Yeah I know.. but I still think it's funny. no matter how lean you get, still got a fat head. lol

ok so the cuban rotation is essentially what I do with one arm and a band so I'll give it a go with a broom stick handle to get it right and see how I go from there. the L-Laterals I'll try with light light shit first.

19.7% fat on your head?

I hear what you are saying rev. But I have 2 comps this year that I am doing. Bench has always been shit anyway. Best of 110kg in a comp. That was the reason I did a program where I benched 4 times a week. Max bench stayed the same and I picked up this condition. After June I'll stop bench for a while. Meantime I'm going with the physios word. I'll look up what these Cuban presses are

External rotation pain. Can't tell exactly if is infraspinatus, supraspinatus, or subscapularis so assuming all of them.. lol Pain got worse over time. Due to overuse and not enough back/rear delt work. first visit to the physio for it he told me to stand up, bend my arm and put the back of my hand against my lower back above belt line. Then to lift it away from my back in that position. I thought my brain broke when it wouldn't move at all. So there are some non active muscles back there that I'm starting to work somewhat. Currently benching 60kg for 3 sets of 12 without pain so working at it slowly. Hurts a bit after squats (low bar) but it goes away soon after. Doing a bunch of band rotator cuff work for it and lots of rows and chins.

Yeah. puts the shoulders in a stronger position too. Dave Tate goes in to great detail about setting up to do bench press. I still can't get the leg drive thing right, but have managed to kind of sort out the shoulder and scapula position a bit better. basically, I can bench with the current shoulder issue if I get my shoulders pinned back and down correctly. Don't get me wrong, plenty of strong people bench with their back flat on the bench.. Markos is a big believer of getting stronger to lift a weight rather than getting in a different position to make the bench easier. one of his trainers Jack (the big fella) benches flat on the bench and has benched up to 180kg I think.

Flared as in, in the down position in bench press, are your elbows 90 degrees out from your sides? If that is you and you can bench 120+, learning to do it in PL fashion could give you a bit more (if you have the lats and tricep strength) This picture shows a setup pretty nicely. Notice how with the back arched and chest flared, the hand position is kind of over the lower end of your chest instead of middle/upper in the left pic. But your comment of "creating your own decline bench" is pretty accurate. puts you in a much stronger position

meat, eggs, veg, oats squats, squats and more squats... try for 3 times a week. Try one session for 20 reps, the next session for 10 reps with more weight, and the other session for 5 reps with even more reps. got everything covered that way. You want size on those wheels do Olympic style squats. that is high bar, feet inside shoulder width, full depth squats. If you got a gut, then either you ate shit, or you ate more than you used up and didn't squat enough. SQUAT!

You bought a 300zx hey? congrats.

my point was how did you work out that you gained 15kg of lean muscle? before and after dexa scans? or fat pinch calipers? those scales that send a electro pulse through the body and give a figure? or by looking in the mirror
