OcUK Health Seekers: Post your progress pics

[icecold]

I should have explained, my point was that you aren't going to get problems from lengthening your hammies, partly because you're very unlikely to actually lengthen your hammies.

 

[Delvis]

I figured you can't lengthen them relatively speaking? You just improve the way they move? ie unstick them off your leg

 

[Delvis]

Anyway, less talk, more pic:





Stronnnnng face.

Mirin' your own leg, boss.

 

[Jack Bauer]

you dont need to engage your glutes to correct APT

Maybe I am thinking about it wrong or naming the muscles incorrectly but what muscles do you use to rotate your pelvis? Standing straight doesn't really seem to do the trick and my abdominal muscles don't appear to be strong enough to completely correct the pelvis position (mainly just pulls in my belly).

That's either some strong perspective distortion or Delvis is like the Anti-Bro

Delvis, mirin, although I feel you might have been stitched up on the calf genetics .

Wheels getting big Delvis!

Get stronger abs.

This will be your primary problem. You probably have very under active internal obliques/lower anterior core.

Merlin your pins Delvis. You have been making all kinds of gains!

 

[Jack Bauer]

OK, well I am working on that so I will see how it goes.

 

[icecold]

What are you doing to correct it?

 

[Jack Bauer]

In the gym I try to finish with a kneeling cable crunch assuming it is free.

For example today,
2x20x60kg
1x20x63kg
1x14x63kg

Then at home, typically the following

3 x planks (c.a. 15 s)
5 x dragon flag (not perfect on the way up but I can lower them nice and slow)
10 x candle sticks
3 x side planks (on each side)

The amount at home varies a lot as I struggle to keep a structure here. I am also doing a few stretches for back and quads.

 

[icecold]

Cable crunch is a waste of time.

Do planks, reverse crunches and ab wheel roll outs all with posterior pelvic tilt.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Cool, will drop the cable crunch and stick to the above while if I am understanding correctly forcing a posterior tilt. Thanks for the help.

Damn straight lie

Delvis, mirin, although I feel you might have been stitched up on the calf genetics .

I don't train calves separately at the moment, so that'll do it.

Wheels getting big Delvis!

One thing I'm happy about at the moment anyway

Not training chest or shoulders for 3 weeks doesn't help. Stupid injuries

 

[wedgie]

Mate you're crazy, you got plenty to be happy about. For someone who has had weight troubles in the past, you're in great shape to crack from here, simple as that .

Mirin bf% and legs Doovis.

Two of me taken recently:

Reckon I am about 96-97kg. I want to get my weight back down as I want more of an athletic look also I want to shut the girlfriend up who complains she has to open her legs up wider as I'm getting too bulky - she preferred me when I was doing loads of Muay Thai and was around 80kg. If I get get back down to about 90kg while maintaining size and strength I'll be happy.

EDIT: Quick one of my legs so I'm not accused of not working them!! gf wanted a snap of my new running stuff (she was away skiing at the time) just in case anyone is wondering why I've got such a random photo!!

 

[Delvis]

Cheers wedgie n Chris

Sadly the bf doesn't cross over to my lower stomach Going to keep going until I hit at least 90kg and assess from there.

 

[Delvis]

Mirin the chest MG, hard to get that lower seperation I find
