I did OHP on leg day, RIP.

OHP on back day!? Explain this bull**** at once!

I dont have a dedicated shoulders day, so its a choice of back day or legs day, and having it on back day in the past has worked out best for me, as i use more time for legs.

Its also the reason i have a little bit of back on chest days.

Those "not enough time to fit 4 days a week training in" feels :(
 
Dom, ice, others... Thoughts on the usefulness on pullthroughs for helping to improve back neutrality/good hip hinge habits/hip thrust/glute drive?

Thinking of adding these in, maybe even as a light warm up every session.
 
If you do pull through I've heard cable pulls are pretty decent, as opposed to KB.

Also, why is it you can't do four days now? You train in the morning? Unless you drive your daughter to school or something.

On your deads, you almost need to over emphasise your hip tilt or something, really get the lower back in line, its an odd one.

I could maybe start going on Saturdays but during the week getting up at 5:45 4 days a week is just to much.
Daughter goes to bed around half 7 and we are getting in bed around 9 so we hardly get any evening, and on backload nights I spends at of that time eating as well lol.
I love training but there has to a balance. Weekends are often busy with family stuff, and who wants to be getting up at stupid o'clock on a weekend as well :(

I was only considering doing pull through a with a cable. I might get a kb set for at home to help with some core work.
 
Well they have KBs at the gym, hence my suggestion on cables instead :)

I know what you mean, Thursdays are my worst day as I go out Wednesday evenings so don't get much sleep by the time I'm back. I'd go in the evening but its just too damn busy to be doing deadlifts with **** around.

Maybe that new place opening will be better :p
 
Nah the new place won't be any better, infact I would have to leave the gym 10 mind earlier to get to work as I do now. Still gonna check it out but prob won't change
 
Pull throughs could be good, but if I was there coaching you you'd be using slightly less weight and aiming for perfect reps on your reppy-er sets.

That OHP is a great example. You are definitely capable of doing really nice reps, but your glutes and abs aren't firing enough.
 
It will be busy, it's a new bodybuilder/power lifter specialist gym and there is a lot of interest already, and from what I can tell there isn't a lot of floor space, but photo's can be deceptive, and if it won't be full of cardio machines then there's a chance it will be good.

Cool, less weight, maybe going back to 130 and progress at 2.5kg per week over the next month to get me back up to 140 but hopefully have things firing a little better?

Also about the OHP, are you saying my reps would be better if I was properly engaging my abs and glutes? I totally agree, I was just blitzed from deads, weak excuse is weak I know :(
