Tough as. Month off due to injury?

I shrivel at the thought of my week off, let alone a month :(

had back injury, then had sickness, then had anxiety, which made me feel physically sick even thinking about gym.

Put clean and press back into my routine.

Don't know how I ended up not including it for the last 3 months.

I also had 3 weeks off, its good to get back into it, it also had been a while since I laughed at pencil necks doing curls and flys, ahh, good times.

That's rough as! Hopefully your first sesh back was a good one :)

On a seperate note, I squat ass-to-grass but find every now and then, I feel a bit of pressure around my knees. I have checked my form and knees aren't bending in but not sure if this is normal? I feel like I can lift more if not for the pressure build up around the knee area when squatting. Not painful, just uncomfortable :(

Thanks, was 10kg off my squat which was to be expected I guess. I feel pretty depressed about gym, but I think I'm just depressed in general.

I get knee pain but my knees bend in. A lot of the time you think your knees aren't bending in, but you have to deliberately focus on an exaggerated, pushing them out movement throughout the squat. Maybe try a wider stance too?

Considering a month off, only dropping 10kg is not too shabby at all! I missed the week and dropped 5kg :angry:

I normally train by myself so I can only rely on what the mirror is showing me but I guess it is possible that I'm actually bending in more than I can see. thanks for the tip, I'll give the wider stance a go :cheers:

No probs, good luck

Stop watching the mirror, it will screw you up more.

This

Okay for an occasional form check, but you'll be more focused and "one" with the weight/bar and movement if your only sensory perception of things is the feeling of weight across your shoulders and progressing through the range of motion.

BW 80kg 166 cm, Mil press once a week, 1rm with perfect form is 80kg

10 x 20kg (bar)

Then 7 sets of 5 reps from 55% 1rm to 85% 1rm.

Then alternating dumdbell presses 3 x 10

Then lat raise 3 x 10

Then bent lat raise 3 x 10

Finish the day with some high pulls 3 reps about 5 sets.

I have just gone through a deload of about 10% of my 1rm as I had some time off and my joints were getting sore.

It will set me back a while but I needed to do it.

Pretty quiet in here lately.

How much are you guys overhead pressing? Weight and frequency?

What programming are you using to progress it?

I feel like I will stall soon

Usually 100kg on seated shoulder press barbell or smith. For the last set 10-12 reps. The other two warm up sets starting at 50kg with reps 15-20 range.

If you feel like you are going to stall on a weight and cant lift any heavier try the 5x5 routine and drop your wieight back and build up over 6-7 weeks. I get huge strength increase doing this every time.

I have permanent shoulder injury as well after shoulder recons and still get strong shoulders. i always finish every shoulder day off on the cables as well. Im 100% this is what makes them grow the pump is insance and just do 1 drop set.

    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
