Thanks leesh, hip is a little better so squat is a bit easier now

Birds, I only look in the mirror at the top or bottom of the rep, but yeah you've got a point.

I workout by myself and generally try to time my sessions so the gym is fairly empty so it will be a little difficult getting a video.

I feel fine during the rep and my movement is strict, no jerking and such, pretty sure I'm just being paranoid because that was the first time anybody has ever said anything to me about form

  • 4 weeks later...

Went to the gym yesterday after a couple weeks off, shit session and had to drop the weights back a bit.

Not surprised though considering that I have done absolutely no exercise other than a couple light jogs for the last couple weeks.

My eating and sleeping habits have been shit too.

Pretty disappointing session, but better than sitting around doing nothing

Squat: 1x10 bar

1x8 @40

3x5 @60

Pullups 5 + 5 negs

Row: 1x10 bar

3x5 @40

Dips: 3,5,5 First time I've done these in probably a year, shoulder felt fine which was surprising.

A good stretch after a workout helps me avoid doms, that and a protein shake straight away with some creatine in it.

My interest in supps is purely recovery and they work for me in that regard.

Thanks, I definitely need to put in more effort I think.

Today is just active recovery, I get really bad doms after having even a short break

I'd like to share something that may prove helpfull . Doms is a normal part of life.It's different to injuries or mobility issues, which deserve some attention. Make it irrelevant to your training. Don't give it any thought, it doesn't deserve it. Accept it an move on. Paying attention to it holds you back and you may find excuses not to train or lose motivation.

Don't try to avoid doms it's a waste of time. Just train correctly and accept it may or may not occur.

In the past I would sometimes not get doms and then sometimes I'd get doms along with pain that seemed like severe tendonitis , I held to instruction and trained anyway. I learnt it's nothing to worry about.

Hopefully that helps.

Dan: I usually stretch and foam roll after a workout. I don't take any supplements, nothing against them, just a personal preference

Thanks rev, I know doms is nothing to worry about haha it was more of an off hand remark so I wasn't just posting one sentence. I definitely know the difference between doms and actual injury pain haha

I'm still doing what I had planned for today, which is a jog, some body weight exercises on whatever I find depending where I end up (park, gym, etc), stretches and mobility work.

My diet isn't great, but it's not too bad I guess. Could definitely be improved.

Pretty much repeated my last workout today.

27/10/2013

Squat: 1x8 Bar

1x8 @50

3x5 @70

Row: 1x8 @40

3x5 @50

Deadlift: 1x8 @80

1x5 @100

1x5 @110

Dips: 3x5 A little improvement here, no where near what I used to do though

Nice DL'ing and good job on the MP.

MP is a tough motion when you're getting back into it. I managed to strain a shoulder at 30kg when I started out doing it.

Take it slow and steady, Rev can also comment on some excellent assistance exercises to make sure the shoulders are healthy. His suggestions helped me fix my strain.

Thanks dan, surprisingly Mp doesn't aggravate my shoulder like other pressing does.

I think its getting better because I had to stop dips all together and now I can do them without pain, whereas before I couldn't even hold my weight on the bars without pain.

I've got no doubt my numbers will go up once I become more consistent, been missing lots of sessions due to a few reasons.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
