No Crust Racing

Went to be lawn te and sleep quite deeply, back and ankle has not felt this decent in a while. Wonder if its the sleep or just that I did heaps of physical work yesterday.

Rows. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJz8psWf_Pk Bro Curls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LANDLtpZVmQ And 25kg Bro curls but a pause and squeeze at the top with slower lowering, was that what was being suggested? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhlrLpV5fLU

SLDL, how's form on that? This always feel easier/safe than deads to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEk5qL0YtQU OH Press. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykTH0xgkDZg

More videos. Just one set of things but at full weight. f**k knows what this forum randomly wont embed, shits me. Bench, no towel, shoulders pinned back more. Felt a little weak on this as it's been 9 days since I benched full weight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBt2I2xtLqE Squat with Full Weight for me (49.5kg) Felt ok getting the weight up so shoulder is getting better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRfbh0RIID8

Edit: double post

No bench press? But I love bench. I won't be stopping that unless there's some excellent reason not to do it. Do strict press? I thought a strict press was a standing military press, heels together? That was something I'd always been told by people who were pro gloves, it added diamterer and made your grip work harder.

I'll try it, easy enough when the weight is light , but nobody is really selling the virtues of not using them. Though I have noticed that bunching on occasions, more so with old gloves. I've just finished a quick sess of Cubans and various stretches/rotations for the back, inner glutes, elbow etc. Will do some more light weights tomorrow and grab the cam and try some of the suggestions. I also tried the creatine last night, mixed ok with protein shake and didn't effect the taste badly.

I have goals, just not power lifting goals like some of the people on here. And yes at some point I will switch from gain to maintain, you can't gain forever. I should add I also used gloves back in the day to help support my wrists, these gloves just wrap around but don't have the solid supports up the back of the hands like the old ones did which is fine as my wrists are stronger. So a bit of an old habit.

LOL I know, me too. There's been some bloody good calls. These threads deliver.

Cheers dude, I've had enough injuries along the way to know it happens. I've been much stronger along the way too to know how fast the body can grown and adapt. Definitely will get a cage, but my jew nature (when it comes to extra curricular expenses) will see me hunt around for one for a bit first.

Hah, champion.

Cheat day?

Some kind of kinky inside info you got there Birds...TTT wanna tell us something?

Ahh well, cheap track car is better than no track car. And you make do with what you got, better than walking around at 100kg with 30% bf and having fat-ceps and cellulite all over the place. Things could be much worse. Did you get chopped by a CA once or own one that let go or something? There's a lot of hate inside you. Sidebar: What's the deal with glove haters anyway? Is it a grip strength thing or is it a manly man thing I'm macho and don't need them pissing contest? If there's a legitimate reason not to use them I'm interested, but if it's just an ego thing I couldn't care less.

I didn't say anything about CAs, so you fail! Ass...

Dislocating my ankle and breaking my leg was an eye opener Nick. I was covering 100ks a month running, as well as exercising 3 times a week and felt like I was in OK shape/had OK strength, now I've spent the last 6mths languishing going backwards etc and furthermore so many other areas are suffering while I learn to walk evenly again etc - as per the myo comments about how it affects my pelvis/back. It's retarded. And now because I'm working on areas that I've neglected for so long, it's like starting again, so I'm just trying to be smarter about it and avoid further injuries/delays. But given I, like a few others, started out at 60 odd kg when I fist started lifting, I have no doubt that I can make some progress over time.

I'll see what comes up locally first, we should be approaching the time when all the new years resolutions cop out and well of gym gear I've got some cash put aside for a track day coming up and I'd really love to make one more before the baby gets here. Crazy hey talking about cars on LiftingAustralia forums hey

With the row, is that enough "bend" or is the idea to go parralell? I know there are different variations but I'm trying to consider my lack of back strength here too and not risk injury. I'm not out to be a power lifter so "safer" movements are fine if they'll help me get stronger and some shape/size. As in SLDL "Feels" safer to me, but at only 50kg that may just be an illusion.

OK, np. As for bench, did you mean shoulders pinned back more with shoulder blades being pushed together more?

How does this look price wise? Free delivery has chin up and dip bits. Just wondering if it'll be too wide for my bar bell, might need a new/longer one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/POWER-SQUAT-RACK-STATION-SMITH-MACHINE-LAT-PULLDOWN-BENCH-PRESS-HOME-GYM-CHIN-UP-/171007504897?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item27d0d77201&_uhb=1#ht_5902wt_910

Pin the shoulder blades back together more? Towel is there as the bench is shitfully uncomfortable with heavier weight, it also reminds me to stop my head tilting and straining my neck. Curls are too fast due to weight, normally 44kg, other points noted though and I think I heave too much so I might drop the weight, concentrate on staying still, squeezing etc. I will habve to drop the weight to do that which is fine with me. See how her back over arches in the later reps and the shoulders move out of line with the hips, that's what happens to me, but at only 45kg. Implying shitful core/back strength I assume?

Cheers Nick, As mentioned I kept the weight lower for the vids as I'm trying to sort my back/shoulder/ankle. I was doing 45-50kg on those movements but my weak back/secondary muscle groups support the back shoulders didn't deal with it so I'm dialing it back and working on those things. I've been putting some $$ aside so I might start looking around. I've seen new cages with a few accessories for in the $500 range but I might see what's around locally second hand also. No comments on Bench/Row/Curls or too light?
