the story of commercial gyms everywhere... I can't hate too badly, I used to do half squats lol
3 sets of 190kg x 3 yesterday... wasn't feeling it, they were slow grinds... hips and low back very stiff, getting good depth was difficult and painful.... pretty beaten up at the moment... but I haven't missed a rep this training cycle and I don't plan on it anytime soon
200kg x 3 next week... need to eat better and get more sleep... better bring my strong
-
there isn't a single mobility test online that I've ever passed... upper or lower body... probably why I'm so fckn sore all the time lol
-
-
you should see him squat
-
damn you guys like spending money... the best pre-workout supp is a carb load the night before and a good night sleep
if you really want a fat burner why fck around... go smoke some ice and be done with it... you ever seen a fat meth head lol
-
I've been doing two full press sessions a week... my shoulders are so battered I can barely get dressed in the mornings... I better set a fat PB or I'm going to be upset
-
Just completed week 10 of the 165kg deads program, got 160kg out. Now just gotta step it up next week and pull 165.
The only part of PPP that has stalled for me is bench and feel like that might be partly technique related. By no means am I saying my squat or dead form is good, just not as big of a hinderance yet...
good work... you'll make that 165kg... just have to get a bit fired up, grab it and rip the shit out of it!
bench is tricky... it definitely doesn't progress as quickly as the other lifts... I'm still learning the technique
-
inner core hey...
play with your foot position... whatever is the most comfortable and allows you to squat to depth pain free is the way you should do it
if your anything like me and have been sitting at a desk for years your hips are tight and your glutes are weak... you need to stretch your hips and strengthen your posterior chain
foam roll your hips and quads... then go to mobility.wod and do the hip, groin and quad stretches... it hurts and sucks a bag of dicks
then squat... properly

3 sets of 175kg x 5 today... that's 5's done... 3's next week
pause squatted 125kg x 8 for 3 sets
safety bar squatted triples starting at 75kg and working up to 160kg
-
got you beat... I last shaved in 2012
-
Dylan Hart looked strong in the 90's... but I'll still beat him at Nats... he's too pretty to powerlift anyway... he doesn't even have a gut or beard

crikey... I'd be happy if I could unrack 300+... squatting it for a triple is ridiculous
-
I think Stel did 25 x 105kg today... on the safety bar (harder)... after doing normal squats and pause squats... he came quite close to death... then he did 40 x 65kg
Max made me do a similar thing the other week... I hurt for days lol
-
I do "good morning" the weight up when I am struggling in the hole sometimes. Is this a bad thing? Indicative that I should be further back on my heels?
it's very common, especially with 'high bar' squatters... not a terrible thing as long as your not bending excessively... make sure your taking a big breath before each rep and hold it until you finish the rep... this can help brace your core... belts help as well but don't think you need one yet
yep if you let the weight drift forward onto your toes you will find yourself getting bent over
you can also do some good mornings as an assistance exercise
-
but can only bench 205kg without one.
what a problem to have!
-
Also, Nick I started doing some very light lateral raises also. Like 2 sets of 8 with 3kg dumbells lol
yeah they're one of those movements where weight moved comes second to form... a bit of a hold at the top is good too... just make sure your not shrugging at the top
-
got bench!?
-
I wish I could eat for you... I'm good at eating
-
go visit local pothead... buy weed... roll doob... smoke doob... eat like you've been lost in the wilderness for a month
seriously it sounds as though you have some nausea issues... weed is the best anti-naseau medication in the world
Nick's health tip of the day:)
-
yeah that's a fair point
I don't trust GPs though... always a magic pill... never ask you about your lifestyle... just test you, tell you your deficient and write a prescription
I only listen to doctors who aren't fat and unhealthy
-
you can get vitamin D for free... go outside
anti inflams are shit when used long term... be careful with them
-
I wasn't saying he IS evil... I was referring to his ownership of evilness...
you're not buying that are you?... oh well, at least I spelt it correctly this time hehehe
back on topic... why have you retired!? your partly to blame for getting me into this shit in the first place, now your quitting!
at least come watch Dan Green and eat pizza
-
Congrats Dan!!!
all kids squat... we just forget how as we get older... blame chairs

just leave a rep in the tank... going to failure okay with the smaller iso movements but will really drain you on the big compound stuff
