Nice work. The most fascinating part for me was listening to the ref. Sounded like he was commentating from the sidelines.

I want those Harden / Kobe biceps tho. lol. That's +1kg/arm maybe?

C'mon man. You should be aiming for Malone  :D

Haha maybe id revise the goals if considering



but i think kobe/harden are more apt w/o  :uhhhfacepalm:

Hahahaha.

Yeah probably a wise choice. Low bf, decent shoulders and half decent arms and you'll look like a good baller.

well, let's see how well my intellectual awareness of it clicks with my body when i try them tomorrow! tonight's a rest day so i'll try to get out of work in time to go to friend yoga.

my brain has been scheming about setting up my spare bedroom as a training room. there are two twin beds in there, which i could probably put on their ends against the wall. then lay down some rubber matting, get a ton of cheap pillows for extra padding on top of one of the mattresses (for flips!) and build or commission* a chin-up station. this may be insane given that i may only be here for a year and a half more. still, i miss doing pull ups and i want to be able to consistently do muscle-ups. and the yard is soft but it's not soft enough to be unscary for flips.

*could probably find a shop in rawalpindi that would build one to spec for next to nothing. labor here is incredibly cheap.

That setup would be dope...especially when done on the cheap.

Also, on Kerr missing does Mike Brown have the experience in tight games when it gets that way. He's basically had no job to do in the first 2 rounds so far.

Heres the problem with NBA officiating. It has gotten a bit better.  I don't really blame the officials cause i know they're human and its a hard game to officiate.

But they need to allow officials to make a call within 3 seconds of the play happening, so they have enough time to process exactly what happened.  Fans always booing late calls, but with the speed of the game its hard to make the right calls.

Also they need to stop the shenanigans where if a player makes the dunk or basket they don't call the AND1 and if they miss they call it, shit like that.  That's fuckin retarded.

They need to get rid of the ridiculous continuation calls on everything. If you get bumped and then decide to throw up a shot, just call the bump. It's absolutely embarrassing to watch.

ETA: watched some more tutorial videos for the kip-up and the biggest mistake i'm making seems to be that i'm kicking forward instead of up. common mistake. will incorporate next time, along with taking the bridge stretch more seriously.

I'm glad you came to this realisation this early. I first tried kip ups when I was 17 and got my first one when I was about 19 when if finally clicked. Also make sure to use your stretch reflex when you load up the legs. And, if you have a good pike then you can do it with straight legs which is a bit prettier than the bent leg version.

09/05/17- 5.30pm

Joint rotations and dynamic arm and leg swings for warm up

A1) RDL- bar x 10, 60 x 5 DL- 80 x 5, 102.5 x 3
A2) Frog Stand- 5s x 4
A3) Scap shrugs on rings x 5, 5, 5, 5

B1) Ring Push ups x 5, 5
B2) Shoulder disclocates x 10, 10
B3) Back bridge x 20s, 20s

C1) Good morning- bar x 20, 30kg x 20
C2) OHP- bar x 6, 30 x 6

Another child/dog interrupted workout. Got more in this time though and still glad to just be back in there again. Some notes though:
Frog stand- the movement clicked for me. Got my hands wider apart and got a little more forward. This felt good.
Bridge- I can get up fine here but had some decent pain on the left side either erector or QL. Not sure which. The left side is my weak side too.
Good morning- focused purely on compression here. I will switch in Emmet Louis's split stance good morning once the hammy is fully back in action. Otherwise it felt good.

Pretty big realisation for me recently is that I don't use enough tension on the big lifts. When I do have that tension locked in lifts that usually feel heavy are almost effortless. When I don't, well...

Thanks guys. Very cute pup indeed.

They're a great dog. Medium size, can run and run and have a great temperament. Although we won't be hunting with him there are activities that replicate the hunting/retrieving for them which train that instinct. Very exciting.

24/04/17

Interesting last couple of days. Upper back and shoulders are coming along well. Not 100% but getting there. We bought a 4 month old kelpie x border collie puppy on Sat night. Got him home. He was super shy but was gentle and let everyone pat him. He slept in the laundry no problems all night and I get up to let him out at 6 to go to the toilet. Doesn't want to come back in and tries to evade me in the backyard. That's fine. I'm new so I'm cautious. End up getting him and I'm going slow, patting him and letting him get used to me again. Pick him up and put him under my left arm. He repeatedly clamps down on my right hand and I half double over due to the shock and pain and he spins around and bites me twice in the mouth/chin. Fuck!!! Next two hours are spend in emergency with an ice pack on my face. Actual damage turns out to be minor, no through punctures and no sutures required (apparently they don't do much for dog bites due to the risk of infection). I get home and he's still on the loose in the backyard. Would not come close and my wife and I copped a few more bites on the hands trying. End up calling the ranger who takes one look at me and when told the age of the dog (4 fucking months) says he will have to be surrendered. We obviously don't want to keep him and I'm super pissed at the breeder. Ranger says there are obvious fear aggression issues that have been learned through his treatment since his birth. She says the guy will be investigated and I hope they follow it through. Feel so sorry for the little guy. It's not his fault at all. Stupid fucking humans. Feel absolutely hollow about it. Anyway, I'm healing up ok. In the grand scheme of things the damage is so minor and should be largely reduced by the weekend. Just glad it happened to me and not my wife or either of the kids. Would have been far more damaging for them.   

What makes it worse is that during the night when he was sleeping in the laundry I woke and had this incredibly strong feeling/thought that he would attack me when I opened the door to the laundry in the morning. Told myself he's a puppy and not to worry about it and went back to sleep.

Trained today.

Full warm up

Hang PC- bar x 10, 40 x 5
PC- 60 x 5, 70 x 3, 80 x F
(grip was the issue here. Was pulling all these sets with a hook grip and it just fatigued at 80. Tried again with a double overhand but the moment was lost)

Squats- bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 1, 115 x 5
Squats felt good. Resisted using the belt but did use knee sleeves. May throw the belt on next week or the week after when I get closer to that magical 125-130 (magical for me as that's where I usually stop)

Went to the track when my kids were doing aths about 45 mins after squatting. Warmed up and was going to do some med intensity sprints. Warm up went fine. First push off the right hammie was having none of it. I tried a few more times without luck and called it.

damn dude that is absolutely HORRIBLE.

:pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :(

In some better news I spoke with the pound where he ended up and they gave me an update. He's been sent to another facility for testing and potential rehab with the hope that they can retrain him and give him some kind of home. Really hope that's the case and that the little thing gets a chance at a new life.

In some even better news we got a 7 week old German Shorthaired Pointer pup last week (he's now 8 weeks old).


So far so good and he's turning out to be a great addition to the family.

I'm with both of you. Have always had posture issues. Being tall with short friends never helped either lol.

Like LBSS said. Pick one or two areas to focus on and hit them consistently and you'd be surprised at how quickly the changes add up. Obvious ones are internally rotated shoulders, weak upper back and tight pecs. This alone will go a long way to a better moving upper body. Add in HF work and glute med activation and you're on your way for lower.

Your breathing could be an issue all of it's own. I wouldn't blame tight abs but more faulty breathing mechanics. I'm a natural diaphragmatic breather (thanks to my early nerd years in choirs and bands). If you're a chest breather than that's something else to address and it can make a world of difference.

For me, if I pick one or two things and consistently hit them then add to that over time I find it works best.
