Today

Had sore groin since last week..a bit of re-cuuring probelm thats been hanging about for a few months. Probably the cause of the back probelms while squating last weeks, as its giving issues in left glute and lower back also...so ditching the back squats for a week or two, and doing some lighteer higher rep stuff. Hopefully will sort out again.

Looks like a good workout Toxic. Not sure I like the side bends though, have you tried land mines?

ive never done side bends before either...but was pretty destroyed so thought id give it a go. I think they useless now:D

Land mines...never done..ill need to look them up for next time. cheers
 
After doing the above the land mines feel amazing with a plate added on. You could always add in pallof presses?

thats another to try, cheers. Kinda hate doing core work, find it really booring..but you gota do some:rolleyes:

Pretty sure forearm issue is tendonitis now :( and not a muscle strain as I thought a few weeks back. Not really sure what to do with it, pretty much can smash through the above without any pain, but the minute I do any palm up work (direct bicep flexion movements) its painful. With try ice it a few times a day for next week or so and overdose on ibrufen....but I genrally know the story here as had elbow tendonitis in both arms over last couple of years. very annoying:rolleyes:
