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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
