Masons get lean log!

Why is there a guy beating a drum each time you hit parallel?

Looks like you have a pelvic tilt but squats looked ok, invest in stretchier shorts, srs tight shorts screw up form

 

[Mason-]

ok is better than bad!

Yeah I'm gonna start wearing joggers to the gym. My friend did tell me what you said basically.

On googling pelvic tilt he said that I did that too and he called it butt wink.

The drum thing? I have no idea lol. There wasn't anyone else in the gym at the time I don't think either :/

Video isn't ideal. Need to see from the back too.

Form looks ok, but but could perhaps do with a bit more depth and more core control.

 

[Syla5]

Big lad morba mk II. You make that 70kg look easy already! Your gonna be strong mate.

Stick with shorts, just bigger ones. It's important to be able to see what your legs are doing, makes a big difference.

Looks better then I expected which is good. a lot of your issues will
Stem from poor mobility. Tight ankles upwards.

Did you watch that mwod vid I posted? If so try that put next time you squat, or deadlift for that matter

 

[Morba]

I wish I could grow hair, not quite like that of course but growing hair would be nice! lol

Thanks for the advice I think getting below parallel is a flexibility thing but i will stretch a lot more often from now on.

15 minute interval training. Brutal.

Waiting for my mates to finish so did a little bit of core work with them.

 

[icecold]

120x3 should mean a reasonably comfortable 130. Don't come back until you get it

In all seriousness, rep discrepancies like that can indicate form issues. Usually positional errors and core stability issues.

 

[Mason-]

I was thinking that myself however I think I know what it was. After I did my 120 x 3, a guy came over to me and said how many sets do you have left obviously he wanted the squat rack and so I don't think I waited long enough between sets either way yeah you're probably right, but then if it was a 1RM form can't be 100% perfect, for me anyway I'm still a beginner.

Oh and also going to go through a deadlift PB on Wednesday and I will be recording it!

45 x 15

Interval Training
15 minutes. Tried the x-trainer for the first time ever. Not bad. Quite enjoyable. Don't have to balance so I just close my eyes and think about stuff. Much better than cycling/running imo.

Overall I felt pretty weak. By the time I had done CGBP my triceps felt ruined. I think it was the pause bench press. That stuff is brutal.

 

[Mason-]

So today was weird. Got 7 hours sleep. Woke up at 8AM feeling fine, in university from 9AM-11AM. Come back home for around half 11, and I feel absolutely shattered. I try to shake it off and stay awake but come 3PM I just have to sleep, so I sleep till half 5. Wake up feel rough as hell. So I eat some dinner and drink a lot of water. Got to the gym and did not have very much energy left after the deadlifts.

Back + Biceps
Deadlifts
60 x 15
90 x 10
120 x 5 <- felt nice.

Ran out of energy here. Wanted to do lat pull down but just felt ****ed.

Bicep 21s
3 sets.

X-Trainer Interval Training
15 minutes. Burnt 170 calories.

 

[Syla5]

Solid sesh. If the cardio at the end is purely to try and help you burn off fat you really should look up HIIT training (high intensity interval training) I will link you a resonable article if it's something you want to check out. Most on here will advise against steady state as it really is only good for endurance, not fat burning etc

 

[Mason-]

Was doing interval training. Was pretty ****ing intense. I checked my heart rate after doing the harder parts and it was in the 190s

I've always had a ****ing weird heart at school I managed to get my heartrate to 215.
