Delvis: weight lifting log - time to conquer

Duvet what's your reasoning behind that, considering BORs are essentially the same movement as SAR and cable row?

essentially the same movement, but not the same, much like bench bress, DB bench and machine press are similar movements, but not the same.

BB row is often used as a low rep exercise in strength routine isn't it? e.g stronglifts.

Dat shoulder mobility time

Delvis · 9 Dec 2013 at 10:10

Rehab day:
Lots of pin pressing, ended up dropping the weight and upping the reps as my shoulder didn't like it at all. Really feels like somethings catching on bench press, front delt / bicep insertion being naff.

The higher reps helped so will continue this for a while, once I go heavy the shoulder problems straight back in, started to get pretty frustrated earlier.

Then went on to some high bar squats to test some shoes. notbad.jpeg

Forgive me Delvis but what happened to your shoulder?

Did something to it in 2010, started to get better after a break then March this year I was doing some cable flyes in a corner rack and something went. Since then my A/C joint has been feeling bruised, it's only until last week where it's been feeling better due to working on my shoulder rotation pretty aggressively.

As such, my bench and shoulder press progress has been terrible

EDIT: And obviously some of the physio sessions I had earlier in the year helped just I couldn't afford the sessions.

Dude, that squatting looks a lot better than previously.

Adidas = awesome.

Although, I do lust after Romaleos...

Delvis · 9 Dec 2013 at 10:50

Previously as in low bar or previously as in plates under my heels?

The former.

But that's because I'm not a powerlifter.

It just looks like a much smoother movement - same applies(d?) to your work with plates under the heels.

Keep it up.

Delvis · 9 Dec 2013 at 10:58

It's feels nicer on my back anyway.

mrthingyx · 9 Dec 2013 at 11:04

Use moar weight.

Practically, get the pattern right, then go nuts with that posterior chain of yours to get some decent quadzillorz.

Delvis · 9 Dec 2013 at 11:10

Indeed, need to learn how to brace properly throughout the movement, I think I just let myself go limp on the mid section to be honest and get lazy.

It was 60kg as today isn't my squat day. Tomorrow I will test the waters but I'm going to build it up over the next few weeks and hopefully ingrain a nice movement pattern. Syla5 has lent me his shoes for tomorrow as well

High bar ftw

i am the shoe pimp

Demsquats. Demshoes.

Shoes of Peace.

I noticed today, I seem to push from my toes/front of my feet rather than my heals, ?I don't know why and it's highly annoying, more so when fatigue kicks in. Oh and I do this without the shoes as well.

Knees out. Chest up. Locked lumbar.

Delvis · 10 Dec 2013 at 09:33

Knees out doesn't appear to help pushing off my heals. Also if I attempt to keep my chest up I seem to just stick the middle of my spine in to extension.
