Delvis: weight lifting log - time to conquer

I'm just weak in squats, just cannot get on with them. I shall however do what you say as it is needed!

Time to rehab Mr.Shoulder

Delvis · 25 Nov 2013 at 09:44

Basically a mobility session today with some chest work.

Playing around with different types of bench press, ended up doing some pin presses which worked quite well and didn't aggravate things too much, reverse grip is a no no due to my wrists not being able to turn out that way.

Finished off with some internal and external shoulder rotation work. Pain.

Reverse grip bench? :confused:

Delvis · 25 Nov 2013 at 09:57

To see if it helps shoulder aids, look it up

My wrists can't turn out that way anyway, so it's a no go.

Deception · 25 Nov 2013 at 10:03

Wrist mobility then? Especially if that style does help you.

Delvis · 25 Nov 2013 at 10:09

It's my external shoulder rotation, it's just beyond terrible.

Delvis · 26 Nov 2013 at 21:20

Little massage this evening to try and loosen some things up, basically tight everywhere.

Legs today, nothing to write home about.

Post it up anyway.

Thanks for sharing, post the workout phaggot

Delvis · 26 Nov 2013 at 21:54

Something along the lines of:

Squats: 90kg x 4, 4, 80kg x 4 4,
Bss: 5 x 4 x 16's
Rdl's: 5 x 4 x 90kg

Lumbar felt gash on squats, pain on the 90kg sets hence the drop. Legs aren't going well for me at the moment due to a fair bit of back pain.

Doing the above till xmas then ill be hitting dem slow negatives for steedies mirring pleasure.

How was the high bar?

duvet77 · 26 Nov 2013 at 21:59

I feel your pain on the lumbar issues.
I'd have thought you'd have a pretty solid back with those deadlifts you've been doing.

Delvis · 26 Nov 2013 at 22:17

Indeed it would be nice if it transferred duvet!

Not tried yet steedie, will give them a go Thursday hopefully

I just want something to work!

Front squats

I think you'd be surprised how close to the answer this is (from my perspective!).

Nice and upright; take the strain off your lumbar... All while taking advantage of your upper back strength.

Just need to get your ankles and hips MOAR athlete rather than that powerlifting stuff. :cool:

Delvis · 27 Nov 2013 at 07:00

Good job im not really a power lifter then

Giving it a go tomorrow hopefully, will video if I can.

fronts squats + shoulder aids RIP.

other options would be High bar, or uber strict box squats

Not if you go for the enormous biceps/California method of front squatting. There is also the 'zombie' method, too.

indeed crossed arms is a solution, but i woudnt be suprised if the aids still get in the way, could be wrong but i thought a lot of the shoulder aids were at the front, kind of right where the bar would rest when using crossed arms
