If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Don't try work around an issue, get on top of it.

I have bad legs, the tightest that multiple physios and professionals have felt in their careers, but I spent a lot of time (money) finding the best thing for me.

Now I look like I'm doing sissy girl legs extension crunches on warm ups, but I'm actually stretching in a non tensional way. It actually stretches my muscles properly and not just that pulling feeling that you get when doing 'conventional' resistance stretches. Flexibiltity is heaps better and legs are literally twice as strong as they were when I started 7months ago. But I still have to get a decent remedial massage every 2-4 weeks to stay of top of things, learn our body.

For some reason I had epic gas tonight when doing deadlifts. I was up to 120kg x 10 and by this stage I felt it building up rep by rep, then by the last rep I farted something chronic while I let the bar down, thinking it was safe as I was training late and there was probably only 3 other people training.

To my surprise I turned the corner and there was a really good-looking girl doing pull-ups. She started laughing as I walked by so I assume she heard it (unless I'm just a funny looking guy)

Probably best to avoid doing anything that involves bicep flexion, at least til your physio says otherwise. That rules out a lot of back exercises, but you coul probably still do pull overs etc

Yeah thanks, your right. Will speak to physio today and develop a workout for the entire body. Cheers.

If you're suggesting that caused injury, it never ever gave a remote hint of being an issue. I only did it a couple of times, and that was AGES before my back ate shit.

Nah.. just saying that it invites and injury.

I wouldn't do it.

It's very hard to not relax your hams, lower back and butt while holding in that position.

and you relax any of those and pop.

I know your injuries were not lifting related.

Oh yeah I definitely agree that there'd be a large increase in risk doing it, though I wasn't "relaxing" as such - more just pausing. I wouldn't have a hope in the world of getting it back up again if I actually relaxed haha.

Though now I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, coz I'm certain my latest lower back/SIJ bullshit was entirely brought on by lifting lol.

when did this thread turn into the injury and rehab discussion... so I think I've pulled a muscle in my vagina... lol just kidding, sucks when you can't train 100%... that's why using a weight you can do with correct form is so important... and making sure you keep in balance by working every muscle group, not just the ones that gets the chicks!

ps. all the johnny come latelies now crowding my gym... it's too late for you so why don't you fck off back to the couch and let me train in peace... please... at least none of them train legs so the racks are usually free... some of them stand at the cables for an hour doing all manner of shit and I can't get in to do some finishers or shoulder prehab... seriously you can buy cables for home... do you have a door? then you have a gym lol

that's why I'm going today on my lunch break instead of after work, its like a graveyard during the middle of the day:)

seriously though I wish someone would have told me when I was 18 how to train properly... the internet was around but it took 10 minutes for a page to load lol... I made all the classic mistakes, never really grew much and gave up... although I did have nice arms hehe... its a shame when I see young guys making the same mistakes I did

ranting is all in good fun... everyone who pays their membership has the right to do whatever they want and be left in peace

I hear ya...

Tuesday night I walk into free weight room, see double the normal attendees and every bench or cable machine being used, by people with brand new gym clothes lol. I don't get the mentality...it seems to go something like "oh the suns out now, if I do some skull crushers I can drop my 15kg gut and develop *rock hard abs* in time for summer...or my next motivation/discipline drop...whichever comes first." I guess these are the same people who last 2 months at the gym cause they aren't prepared to invest any significant part of their life or planning into it.

Same people who come and play tennis at my local courts when the Aussie open starts lol, brand new racquets and all. Seasonal cunts, fuck off!

^^^ this.

I have a cheap power cage and cheap barbell and cheap weights and cheap bench at home.

it takes me 3 seconds to get to the gym.

there are no other members using the equipment.

I don't have anyone asking for a spot or asking if they can work in.

buy equipment for home for the price of a years membership at any gym.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
