Delvis: weight lifting log - time to conquer

[Steedie]

Smith for shoulder movements is pretty awesome to be fair.

 

[Syla5]

yeah my point here was that he would have a much more repeatable movement path for the press. If he is not doing OHP as his main movement, and the aim of the training is not focused on strength then yeah.

 

[Steedie]

I've told him many a time to do pressing movements on the smith for his shoulders until he feels less broken, but he won't

Tried this mate, it just hurt, I can't get the correct line to make it feel right so I'd rather use what I can use.

Until I'm properly fixed by the wizard I just use what I've got to work with

 

[Steedie]

Does this wizard even know what he's doing?!

 

[Deception]

Its Scott's wizard. So, I'd hope so

 

[Delvis]

Does this wizard even know what he's doing?!

Yep.

The back of my shoulder/infraspinatus is basically a solid piece of wood, along with everything else that's snapped in that region it ain't no quick fix.

Had his elbow in their yesterday which was awful, along with ten thousand needles.

PB's all round today, or post snap PB's for sure Really pleased.

Squats I'm happy with, knees collapse towards the end which is what makes the lifts grind, need to work on that. DB Bench, felt strong today, the 22's felt lovely

 

[Deception]

Next week - breaking triple digits for 8 reps!

 

[duvet77]

nice work Delvis.
out of interest what did you do for that mobilty work?

 

[Delvis]

Next week - breaking triple digits for 8 reps!

Potentially.

Not sure what I'm doing Monday, my backs taken a hammering these last few weeks, so may take a mini-deload to recover to save snapping.

nice work Delvis.
out of interest what did you do for that mobilty work?

Hamstrings I basically lay on the floor, put one leg back so my knees is flat on the ground, tuck my other foot underneath me then lower down, change angles to hit different parts:

Almost like this:

Spoiler

Just with a straight back leg.

Shoulders I basically warmup with very light sets, stretch them against the wall (elbow above head against wall, push against it) dislocations on occasion. I'd like to think I do some internal and external rotations drills as well.

Apologies for the brief descriptions

 

[duvet77]

Ta.

Is that not a piriformis stretch?

 

[Delvis]

Probably, it hits my hamstrings as well, ie the underside of my leg.

Started getting some lower back pump at the end of the RDL's, BORs weren't too bad, then got some slight twinging on the DB Press, just tired I think.

Time for a little break, going away for 3 days ish.

100kg squats for reps, nice to be on them, shall continue next week and just hammer them. May main weakness is my knees collapsing, need to work on it, majorly.

I do have a video of the failed set, no point in posting it really.

 

[mrthingyx]

Good squatting!

One day, I might actually make some gainz and keep some breathing space between you and me!
