BW = 173
SORENESS = back
ACHES/INJURIES = back (low/mid/lats) = tight/fatigued
FATIGUE = low
SESSION:
S1: single arm DB overhead press: 50 lb @ (R=12,L=5), (R=12,L=7), 40 lb @ (R=20,L=12)
S1: SSBAR deep squat: worked up to 205 x 5
S1: Chinups: BW @ 3 x 8
2: single arm DB hammer curl: 30 lb @ (R=12,L=15), (R=10,L=12)
3: single arm DB curl: 30 lb @ (R=15,L=16)
4: dead hang pullup holds, twist, etc.. to loosen up my back/lats
done
happy about the 50 lb single arm o.h.p

Had a guy like this on my youtube channel recently:
LOL , i didn't even reply, i was like "let go man, let go..."
hah.. so frustrating sometimes :F
come on vag, get a clue, all you have to do is play 2 hours of basketball a day to get 40" RVJ.. someone tell that to all of those college/nba players too.. i'd imagine they are only playing for 1.5 hours a day, that's why they are below 40.

Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: ADARQ's journal
« on: October 14, 2012, 03:53:19 pm »why not allowing weaker limb to dictate reps per set and total reps? my impression has always been that it's better to use the weaker limb as the equalizer, to prevent exacerbation of the imbalance.
right, i kind of look at it a little differently. studies show that strength training one limb only, can yield improvements in the opposite limb.. so, if i notoriously have issues with a weaker limb (left), i might as well go as hard as possible on the stronger limb because it may in fact transfer over.. it may be working, not sure though.. because I am going as hard as possible with each arm.
it's not that big of an issue though because, the only real huge disparity in strength, is with overhead pressing.. other than that, my left doesn't lag too far behind my right in single arm bench or row.. but ya i'd rather push each one to it's 'limit' so that I get those extra possible benefits for non-dominant from strength increases in my dominant limb.
don't know what's up with my left arm and overhead pressing... it really is much weaker than my right.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Anti Ego Lifting Support Thread (AELS) ::: Save a joint, Save a Life
« on: October 14, 2012, 12:37:24 pm »^^^Awesome idea.
I think i have killed my lifting ego for good, have done so many deloads to fix dorm, stopped partial squatting , stopped squat-mornings , sent my working load down to 60kg/132lbs in squats 3 times lately in perfecting form iterations. Most recent achievement, dropped RDLs working load from 252 to 176.
Now the bad news: I can't let my quad heal! I stretch it , i foam roll it , i rest it and when it stops bugging a few days i stop SMR and i push again and re-injure it. I have noticed it responds bad to 'volume' squatting, eg 3x5 , not the day that i squat but the next one, but i still don't change my squat schedule. I also go out and jump on concrete. Supposedly they are sub-maximal jumps but actually they are ME to the point i feel that if i push more i will strain it! WTF , i am carrying a slightly injured quad for over 5 months now!!!
MINIMIZE SQUATS TIME UNDER TENSION!!!
TOTALLY PHASE OUT JUMPS!!!
KEEP STRETCHING/FOAM ROLLING EVEN WHEN IT FEELS HEALED!!!
damn..
ya the 'keep stretching' thing is important.. got to keep that tissue pliable or it just gets wrecked when it re-tightens.. i've had quite a few quads pulls growing up, had to stretch them like crazy for months.
it's so hard to stay submax on jumps, might not even be worth going to a court.. i know it's very hard for me to hold back.. maybe instead for a while do some jumps in a pool or something, or box jumps etc.. something where you can completely control the environment.. if all you have is an 18" box, you won't be enticed to go ME.
actual leg extensions on a machine can really help with pulled quads too.. really light, slow and controlled. sometimes it's nice to isolate a damaged muscle, because during squats, other knee extensors could be overcompensating for the damaged one, which would result in the damaged one not being rehabbed properly. so you might think you're strengthening it, but in reality, you're not, because everything is learning to kick in and take over for it.
good post.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: Pain in lumbar spine, from deadlifting
« on: October 14, 2012, 12:29:38 pm »yeah its good advice. my head though doesn't work as well when I'm too amped up. I did not think I was hunched over but I must have been a little. However I feel like the main reason this happened was b/c the bar was too fat out in front. That's why lumbar spine rounded but didn't feel my thoracic area rounding as it would with 95%+ loads. 375 is more like 90% i'd say.
i know, that's why i created this thread:
http://www.adarq.org/injury-prehab-rehab-talk-for-the-brittlebros/anti-ego-lifting-support-thread-(aels)-save-a-joint-save-a-life
"my head though doesn't work as well when i'm too amped up", tell me about it..

Updates:
Got much worse in the morning. Could barely stand up. took a hot/cold shower, mostly hot, and I am comfortably standingup. I'm generally stiffer in the morning.
Also found it tough to find a comfortable position to sleep in. Sneezing too hard and coughing does aggravate area a bit. no leg pain but cannot extend leg far.
edit: but hey I wasn't ego lifting, really. I just like lifting really heavy...esp on deads if I feel like it. but yes there is truly no point unless it's a competition.
sucks man.
sheeeit.

Mixed Martial Arts / Re: bonnar vs silva
« on: October 14, 2012, 12:19:07 pm »someone needs to gif him putting his hands down against the cage, and literally letting Stephan unload right hands. Dude is special, he made that fight worth watching.
ya that was crazy.. i like his ideology: 'if im not fighting someone on my level, im going to make it very entertaining'.. he did the same thing with griffin, he entered the matrix in both fights.
he got 'tagged' a few times while slipping but bonnar couldn't put everything behind it, kind of like trying to put everything behind a punch on a double end bag.. silva is just a freak.
who the hell is he going to fight next? lmao

« on: October 14, 2012, 12:17:13 pm »So we train and we train and we train.
We train or limit strength , our RFD , our quads , our P-chain, our mobility, our jumping technique efficiency bla bla bla...
We do weights , we do plyos , we do conditioning...
We bulk, we cut , we change programs and priorities , we just try to get down everything right and balanced.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4vm7X5XSKo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4vm7X5XSKo</a>
He is killerjunior23's little brother , just 15 years old!!!
I love seeing those natural highflyers. Kinda like nature's art...
i know right.. kid 'looks weak' right now but still hoppin.. kind of like his bro did early on.. then his brother got crazy strong and just jumps like a freak.
the only annoying thing is when the natural's try to lecture people on training.. "listen, you dont need to lift, all you need is more faith and ab workouts".
happens alot on facebook.
