Yeah gonna suffer DOMS hard, but should be worth it. If I find the load too taxing I'll cut down. I just wanna exercise as much as I can to make up for lack of upper body movements. Need to keep the calories off.

I don't think you need to worry about this, especially next week.

If you injured yourself badly I'd be reluctant to lean on it without at least giving it a weeks rest.

Better yet, see your chosen therapist and see what they say.

Seems like you're busy enough squatting anyway :)

Tried an empty bench bar in the same session and it didn't present any pain...I could be back to upper body sooner than I thought :)

Playing it safe though. Do we think it's worth doing movements like bench with an empty bar for rehab? Or just wait until completely healed and get back into the weights?

Feeling pain or not, isn't a good indicator with the rotator for recovery. The pain is there when the swelling goes up and that can take a few minutes to an hour before you start hurting. Hence your bench blew it out but, you didn't feel it till later on a relatively light excersise. You can have deterioration in the muscle without feeling it as pain, so be carefull.

testing very carefully the 'weakness' is the way to go. You want the strength to be at least that of the unijured side.

Bench press isn't a rehab movement for this injury. Don't bother with it. Even the empty bar bench doesn't address anything related and you just look like a feeb doing it.

Copy/paste from my build thread as questions get answered quicker in here.

For some reason, my back is worse than it's been so I either did something Friday night or sleeping in shit hospital chairs/not sleeping is giving me grief (Kate has been in pre-labour for the last 3 days so we've been in and out and not sleeping very much). No gym on Monday as a result so I've had a good 3-4 days off.

Not even a stretch is helping me and it's pinching randomly when I'm not doing much.

I've noticed, with squats, that if I go below parallel my body tends to lean forward at the bottom of the motion which I'm wondering if that's causing some kind of cantilever effect on my lower back as I come back up. Or is some form of forward tilt at the bottom of the motion normal/acceptable?

Extra info: A podiatrist friend came over on sunday and did some tests, said my legs are 1.5cm different lengths, specifically from the waist down so nothing from the back as she measured that too. I put orthotics back in my shoes (just off the shelf ones) on her advice on Sunday but I "think" my back was already playing up before that.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
