Complexes last night, nom nom

 

[Steedie]

Doing these from now on

Nice tight form, I can see why you want to do these...

 

[Steedie]

Only problem I can see is he's rounding his back

 

[LiE]

You're not doing it right until you've got a hernia...

 

[semi-pro waster]

It looks slightly closer to being a poor BOR attempt than it does to being a horrendous attempt at bicep curls except that his palms are facing the wrong way.

 

[LiE]

I've been seeing an increase in people wearing lifting belts for bicep curls these days.. clearly they have no core strength despite the many variations of situps they do.

Doing these from now on

I don't even....

 

[Delvis]

Come on guys, at least do it properly:

 

[LiE]

You do your curls topless Delvis? badass!

 

[Delvis]

I'm afraid that isn't me, it's some pro-trainer (That's what PT stands for yeah?) or something...

Anyway, his jaw line isn't as pronounced as mine so it's defo not me.

personal trainer mate!


Can anyone reccomend a decent leg routine? Did legs last night for the first time in 6 months (pulled my hamstring, it's OK now, today I'm in absolute DOMs agony )

I did;

- Squats
- Romanian DL
- Leg press
- HS Curls
- Quad raises on the seated thingy
- Calve extensions

Did something right as today is horrendous just getting up and down stairs! Time to make my legs catch up with the rest of my body!

Get some lunges in I guess, probably remove the curls / presses, up to you mind, depends how the training is going.

Oh and I know what PT means

No worries buddy

What did you do?

Cosgrove minus the good mornings: 5 reps on each, then 4, 3, 2, 1...90 secs rest inbetween sets.

Not bad for a starting one really Hate front squats mind My arms don't go that way!

I'd love to start doing complexes on my 'off' days, but I normally have such bad DOMS it's hard to get motivated to do anything

 

[Freefaller]

You tried cross armed Delvis?

Aye it is hard, but you'll get used to it

I'm only using 20kg, so it's not a huge amount, but it's enough.

Not yet matey, will have to look it up...Currently my wrists don't go back that far (get the same issues with back squats sometimes)...I just find that the bars on my collar bone
