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?

no rehab, I'm doing the program Birds just made up for me.. he didn't give me any rehab to do

No I'm not doing it infront, just not going down past the ear

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

    • Lol a few are like that with no intention of being reborn unfortunately. 
    • Done, I'll do mine soon too - whenver I take out the car next. I can cheat and make it quieter by turning off VCT at idle too - but I lose the braps

    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
