Hamstring issue really plays up on leg press, didn't hurt during squats but couldn't do my usual weights. I think it may be due to my right knee bending in when squatting and I'm causing injury. A guy said I should look at knee wraps or bands when squatting, what do you think?

great efforts Leesh. You should be able to focus on the squat technique without those things, at the rep range you are doing.

You still have a shoulder issue? Are you still doing behind the head standing press?

Okay I'll focus on keeping knees out without those. Hamstring hurt walking to work.

Yeah its getting better but not 100% Started shoulder press last night for first time in 8 weeks; changed technique though

Shoulder wise, if you have inpingement , then it's not going to be better doing bench or shoulder press. If you don't then all good but, be aware that rehab work is important. I don't see the rehab in your workout? Perhaps you are doing it but, not writing it down.

Good to hear about technique. I assume you are now doing seated press in font as opposed to standing behind the neck?

Do you want some rehab movements? Can help there if you like.

Ask Birds to give you an alternative shoulder movement, seated. At least that way you can train full ROM.

yes please, that would be great thanks

Hmm, can't I just do shoulder press seated?

Sure . I will ping some info up later for you.

You can do the press seated , great idea. In front of the head is good for the pressing movement . Find a seat with a slight recline on the back support to make it straight forward.

Here are some that won't mess up your normal routines and will do wonders, injury or not. This is rehab stuff assuming we take it easy. Once there is improvement you can add something resistance wise , like cuban press.

You can youtube search these ones, to make it easy.

Total shoulder girdle health . Do these 3 times a week. Can do them at home in some cases.

1) Serratus Anterior (Activation movements) are in here for you which should help. This sucker stabilses the scapular movement,

a) Scapular pushups. Just a pushup with you extending and retracting the shoulder blades. The movement is shallow( no where near the ground , motion is small) .The arms straight. Do 3 sets of 20-25

b) Single dumbel scapular protraction. Lay on a bench. Fairly light weight dumbell in one hand straight up. Straight arm. As above move the dumbel up and down with the scapular motion. 20-25 reps as above.

c) Scapular wall slides.

d) Prone Cobras held for time.

e) External rotator bands

f) Shoulder dislocates with band or a stick ( can use a barbell if you are strong).

Try these ones for a month.

Just saw this.

Either:

a) tie a theraband around your knees and force them out while squatting

OR

b) get someone to wrap a band around your leg (just above the knee) and pull it towards them, while you lunge (they should be pulling the band from the inside edge of your knee). Force your knee outwards (track knee in line with foot) so that it doesn't fall inwards.

I would recommend the latter

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
