I'm fairly sure my turkey muscle instantaneously clenched so tight I couldn't move, let alone expel pewp. Lololol

Fark I'm the odd one out in here, I surf as well when I get a chance. I don't hate on the bodyboarders as much as bladers though haha

Well I'm neither so I guess we can be mates.

[r31slpr]

Fair enough haha

Like birds said people aren't symmetrical, I ask about the arm thing because people overlook the most obvious stuff.

You'd be able to tell without measuring

Kate said my right hand sits lower than the left when standing, but that's the "low" shoulder.

Will have to measure.

Though I don't see how arm length affects how high the shoulder sits?

Or are you talking about discrepancies in length of bar travel in a movement, which makes sense but was not my original question.

My left shoulder sits lower than my right since my injury

Yeah was talking about bar travel, sorry got distracted haha

Dan - have you had a spinal xray?

It's probably just not straight.

Mine is like a slight S bend.

My right shoulder hangs lower, further down my right hip is a little higher, making my right leg 5ml shorter.

You can't tell unless you really pay attention.

You can't do anything about it.

Apart from maybe run for local member of parliament.

I had a lower back Xray, when chasing this back problem (which was a prolapsed disc) but the Chiro said it all looked good to her.

lol parliament it is

I have never noticed this thread but so glad I have now haha

Anyway, anyone got some good exercises for traps? I struggle with getting some variety for my traps. Only thing I do is barbell shrugs, dumbell shrugs and upward rows.

farmer's walk, deadlift.

Has anyone tried 5/3/1 before? Thoughts on it? I was going to start it as my intermediate program, once I hit the 120kg bench and 200kg deadlift goals I currently have.

Ahhh I might give the farmers walk a crack. Looks like it's what I need. I need to deadlift but jsut can't figure it out and don't wanna put my back out haha

[bozodos]

good for grip too. Only downside is the looks you get in the gym from carrying around dumbbells lol.

Haha yeah, that's the only thing I'm hesitant about. People will think I'm lost and can't find "my space" on the weights floor.

Yep. But not for long enough the last time I gave it a go.

Doing it again now for bench and OHP, Only at week 2.

It's great for some and not so much for others.

Give it a go and judge for yourself.

[bozodos]

Yeah I was going to - only squatting once per week will be tough though

[TTT]

when you add the boring but big template to it it feels like enough volume... well... for some..

[-FIGJAM-]

Thinking of starting a cube cycle but cant find much info on it. Apart from pay some money to some guy for it

[Trozzle]

Cube cycle? The only cube cycles I know of are pushbikes lol

[TTT]

The Cube Method is used by people who are fairly advanced.

Seriously doubt anyone here needs anything more than some basic progressive program.
