Log of Peace - My Aesthetic Journey to The Peak of Mt. Olympus

Absolutely*.

However, the margin for error on SLDLs is low enough without a pre-existing issue.

And, APT generally means your anterior core is ****. Having fixed my own issue here, I can't recommend proper core work enough.

Like I said, if he's careful he'll should be fine.

Stay safe.

*apart from "weakness" not being the perfect word. It's more a problem of control and firing patterns. To completely counter this point, lower back strengthening work COULD fix the issue, but not without a lot of anterior core work.

Definatly worth a session imo. Even if your told everything is fine, you can go over things with them, and learn what issues you may have and how to fix them.

 

[Delvis]

[Skillmister]

Rope/bar pulldowns 50kg 8 8 8 on each

Another strong session, but when isn't it when shoulders are involved

 

[Fireskull]

Nice DB press, is that seated or standing?

Need to see if I can press the 30kg DB's....

 

[Skillmister]

Seated. Not doing any standing press till my backs feeling less like cheese.

 

[Delvis]

Mate, I love your shoulders, I'm so going to clone them one day.

That is also another fine ass

 

[RoboCod]

Ya, nice DB press. Nooby question, is there a good way to get that weight up to your shoulders from your lap without breaking yourself? I struggle with 27!

 

[MoNkeE]

Easiest way is probably to hang clean them, then sit down.

No doubt Chris just employs super-gundam-shoulder-delts and lifts then straight up from seated tho!

 

[Delvis]

I kick them up from my knees, but I can see cleaning working as well.

 

[King Damager]

Yeah, I know people often drive them up with their knees.

I want to hurry up and get SL over with so I can do MOAR shoulders.
