Centurion's 2014

Practically, according to what you are potentially doing with your shoulders, yes.

Shoulders stable, the pecs are going together stretched across that joint very nicely. :)

Front Squats
20kg x 10
25kg x 5
30kg x 5 x 5

Easy

OHP
20kg x 5
25kg x 5 x 3

BOR
20kg x 5
30kg x 5 x 3

Deadlift
60kg x 5 x 2
80kg x 5

Conclusions: Not done this kind of volume in a long time, given my propensity for deadlift only workouts recently :p Weights were conservative, but can be built on. I'm hoping in particular that my squat will make good progress. I just hope I can lift through the inevitable wrist pain I'll get at higher weights.

I am suffering from the same problem on BORs and OHP that I've always suffered: I feel nothing. I don't actually feel any particular muscle working, but instead towards my last reps, I feel a general non-specific fatigue and I'm unable to continue.

I am getting anterior hip pain on my left side, but I've had it before so I know how to deal with it. It's the old femur displacing and misbehaving in my acetabulum so some banded distractions are in order.
 
Nice to see you're still making the time! :)

I find with BORs the lats don't really complain very loudly until the day after, meaning there isn't really much to tell from a workout other than it's no longer possible. :D

OHP, however? Not sure there - will have to catch up with you at some point to look you over.

srshomo.
 
OHP will kick in towards the end, otherwise try going for more reps.

Rows, really squeeze at the top, or try and pull the last down towards your butt while still keeping the scaps activated.
 
I find I can't really squeeze at the top of rows, not sure why :confused:

Also today I have the same anterior shoulder pain/doms that I get whenever I try to bench. So I imagine the restriction that is preventing me from benching is also preventing me from properly executing an OHP?
 
Everybody has, every single day of my life :D

My issue, as I've discussed with a few of the bros, is that when I try to do soft tissue work with a lacrosse ball, I can't actually find any pain. And I can't find a stretch that works for me. No matter how much I manipulate the doorway stretch, I never feel it in my pec. I do feel some sort of stretch when hanging from a pull-up bar. I'm not sure on other ways of stretching it because I'm not confident of keeping my shoulder in a good position.

Icecold recommended that I see a physio, which I am considering. However, I don't have the monies to see one directly, meaning I need to get referred. Meaning I'll likely end up with a physio who does not understand the plight of lifters.
 
You won't necessarily feel a stretch when doing your pecs. Just roll a ball on them every evening, literally every evening.

Your lats well also restrict OH movements. Eric Cressy does a video on them somewhere
 
Yeah my lats are something I need to mobilise. But once again, I just don't know how to :(

I tried foam rolling my lats a few weeks ago and got a really sharp pain around my rear delt area.

Front Squats
20kg x 5
30kg x 5
35kg x 5 x 3

I think my adductors must have been crazily tight as my knees were wobbly and I had some decent bum wink.

BOR
30kg x 5 x 5

Who cares? BOR does nothing for me :(

Deadlift
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
90kg x 4
80kg x 5

Those 4 reps at 90 were 4 of the ugliest deadlift reps I've ever done. I think I was lifting with my back. It would explain why my lumber is sore right now.

Pallof Press
10kg x 8 x 2 (each side)

These were tough, even on the lightest weight! Maybe it's because I've never done them before. Maybe it's because deads destroyed my core. Maybe it's because I'm weak.

Conclusion: I just need to eat. No progress will be made in anything except deadlift and a bit of squat, because apparently my body hates me.
 
Keep cracking mate. Honestly just work out what your BMR is and go from there food wise, follow it for a few weeks then adapt as needed.

Yes, I love pallof presses
 
Strange, I'm aching everywhere except for abs. No doms there. Maybe I didn't even pallof press :confused:

You are training, aren't you? :)

If you go to the gym, and don't do chest and bis, did you really train?

You're right man, I'm hoping to hit 60kg by september :D

It's more just about being motivated and having the time to keep eating and eating.
