Fair enough man, when's the opening again? And website?

Syla5 · 6 Jul 2013 at 14:40

Facebook page is "gym coming soon to mk" I think. Open day on 24th July so will probably open its doors the week after that

They need better pictures.

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

Yes, but you'd be doing much nicer OHP reps with slightly less weight too. Spread the floor!

Oh and beltless

Delvis · 6 Jul 2013 at 15:00

MOAR beltless love.

Syla5 · 6 Jul 2013 at 15:12

Yeah I have been doing a lot of belt less recently, up
Until this weeks pretty much all my deads and squats have been belt less.

Ice with the weight I was being progressive, at what point should I keep the weight the same as the previous week?

With regards to the OHP, I've found that using staggered stance as really helped me keep stable and lock everything in place too. Might be worth a shot

While you're working on correcting your spinal control, you only use a weight that you can keep control of your spine with

If you feel this robs you of some stimulus to your shoulders, reduce your rest times.

Deception I have tried split stance and didn't like it.

Ice are you talking about my deadlifts now or my OHP?!

I will be reducing the weight on my deads to move me back out of snapness range and help me get back to neutral spine. My OHP I am trying to push as many have said there is good cross over between OHP progress and bench progress, are you saying I should drop the weight on that to, or just make sure I am bracing better and of I still can't be straighter I should reduce the weight then?

OHP.

There is no point in pushing it if you are screwing up relearning your spinal mechanics. Like I said, reduce your rests if you want more stimulus.

Syla5 · 6 Jul 2013 at 21:39

Ah ok, I will follow that advice. I think it looked worse then it was because my core was shot from deadlifts and I was being neglectful with my core bracing, which was not good practice at all. I was more concerned withy deads to be honest.

Delvis · 6 Jul 2013 at 23:16

Issue being, youre going to be like that next week when you do deadlifts / ohp as well

. Although as Delvis said, if you say your core was to blame for the OHP work (because it was shot from deadlifts), then you may want to rethink about putting your OHP somewhere else. That or do OHP first and then Deadlifts.

Syla5 · 7 Jul 2013 at 09:08

OHP prett much only fits in on deadlift day, so less weight and more focus will have to be the order of the day.

Deception · 7 Jul 2013 at 09:18

Sorry if you said already, but how many days you doing already?

Syla5 · 7 Jul 2013 at 11:07

3 days and fitting in a 4th around family time is quite tough. Really need to get my arse in gear and sort out some home weights

Best thing I ever did from a gym perspective. :cool:

I'm going to do some 'active rest' stuff today... Just because I can.

Syla5 · 7 Jul 2013 at 12:57

It's definitely going to happen its just a case of when
