Time and amount :(

Why time? I understand you study but you need food to help you study also, so plan three meals and eat, then grab some nuts and munch during the day.

Amount wise you will soon get used to it. Its that or you start the milk bulk :p
 
To be fair, adding in creatine will help your brain gains, anyway, si whilst mixinf the brotein, wat nuts or avocado or whatever.

Do it.

The issue is that I can't eat a lot in one go AND I eat very slowly. Add them together and it's tough to eat :p

Front Squats
20kg x 5
30kg x 5
40kg x 5 x 3

Fairly straight forward. Wobbly knees though. Last rep of last set, I felt something click in my right knee and got some funny pain there.

Deadlift
60kg x 5, x 10, x8

Let me explain. Seeing as the only lift I can do is deadlift, I want to do it 3x a week. But I don't want to deadlift heavy 3x a week so I'm doing a light day where I do high reps, in between two heavy days

Pallof press
10kg x 10 x 2
15kg x 10

Not feeling anything, except in my shoulders :(

I didn't do BORs today because **** BORs, they do nothing for me.

Conclusions: My training lacks any kind of real direction, but at least I'm being consistent with mobility. Hopefully my squat will go up. I'm currently the lower body equivalent of chest and biceps bros. Not a good thing.
 
You need to add more tension on the pallof press then, it should be trying to twist your torso.

Anyway, I used to eat slowly, now I can scoff food if needs be :p
 
I shall add more weight next time :)

Interestingly, I've got upper back doms today. Not sure which lift they're from :confused:

Also I thought front squats were more quad dominant than back squats? I never get quad doms, but always glute doms :confused:
 
Upper back DOMS could be anytjing from your list of exercises: slack bracing because you were deadlifting an easy weight, or 'slumping' on front squats (upper back collapse).

Glutes will always come into play with squats of any type, so that is good. It may also be, I suppose, a misfire in your pattern that means less strain on your quads, but you would (I think) also feel that in your hamstrings and/or lower back...

Well I only ever get hamstring doms if I do RDL, but I have been getting lower back fatigue the last couple of sessions.
 
I tried it with more weight and definitely felt it in my core more, but still using my upper body for some reason :(

05/07/2014

Got up early this morning and was in the gym before 8am for a fasted session.

Front Squats
20kg x 5
30kg x 5
45kg x 5
40kg x 5 x 2

Lawdy lawd dat bum wink. I'll get a video up soon. Also I noticed less wrist pain today.

RDL
20kg x 5

Deadlift
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
85kg x 5

These were all easy, too easy. I'm very happy with my form, I'll post a vid. Also I'll post my horrible 90kg reps from last week :p

Pallof Press
15kg x 8
20kg x 8

Feeling a bit more in my abs/core, but still feeling too much upper body involvement.

Conclusions: Just gotta keep on plodding. I hope I'm laying the foundations for good mobility, and a strong squat/deadlift.

Interestingly, deadlifts work my quads a lot more than front squats do. How do I make my front squats more quad dominant and less back dominant?
 
Here's my 85kg deads:


They look pretty good to me. Very little hip rise, and it doesn't look like there's much lumbar flexion. Is there a reason why I feel this in my quads more than my hammies/glutes?


My 45kg front squat. Please advise how I can fix dat bum wink, and also involve my quads rather than back/glutes?

I'm still not sure whether to upload my 90kg deadlift from the previous week. Those reps were just so ugly.
