 Vag- sorry for interruption log  :huh:


No worries , i like a lot RDLs and i want to keep them as my 2nd main legs strength exercise. Also i said i think i am overarching too,  so all this was very interesting.

Easy answer , you are squatting with a weight you are not strong to handle.
Successful squat-morning = failed squat. You need to squat weights that you can actually squat. When you were shooting form videos you had to go down to 135 to do a proper squat, how can you be squatting 265 1 month later? Forget the load and swallow your ego, drop the load to one that you can squat in good form , keep progressing from there.

Thanks both!
Sweeping the bar and pawing to the ground is check. But I think i might have been overarching, just like the video demonstrated. That is verified from the fact that i never felt any glute soreness after RDLs , even when i was doing 8reps@250lbs. No back issues either but that's no cue.
Neutral back priority from next time, great tip, training hamstrings AND glutes in one movement will be awesome!

26 September 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~195,5
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : left quad bugging a bit today , the price to pay for yesterday's increased jumping volume.

Starting Strength - workout #30

ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS:
5@247,5lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
5@247,5lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
5@247,5lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( +2 reps )
-Used a piece of paper between bar and hands, no grip problems this time, awesome!

BICEPS EZ-BAR CURLS:
12@76 lbs ( same )
12@76 lbs ( +1 rep )
10@76 lbs ( +1 rep )
-Good improvement, but still not strong for 3x12.

TRICEPS PUSHDOWNS:
12@70,5 lbs ( same )
12@70,5 lbs ( +2 reps )
12@70,5 lbs ( +4 reps )
-Very hard but got it!

Pasting the following part from last week's log because noone replied :

I was looking at some RDL videos and i am confused about the legit depth of the movement. My ROM is just a bit lower than this, a couple of inches below knee:



Should i go lower or am i ok?

see vag? you think you're so great but there's always someone better. that's why i always say, don't compare yourself to others. it's what's in your own heart that counts.

Oh but i don't care at all where my ranking in the forum is. All i care is being ahead of YOU!  :P

At the park for ~1 hour, shooting around and jumping. Quad is MUCH better, bugs only on ME SLRVJs now so got in much more jumps this time.
Managed to get consistent 30'' to 31'' dropsteps and DLRVJs, touching base of palm at 9'10'' rim again. Missed all dunks though.
Good shit.

"Most respected" is a misleading title since the three most common ways of getting your posts liked are to :
1. Post pictures of scantily clad women
2. Point out that hyperdunk is an idiot
3. Tell scooby that his latest program is stupid and that he should squat

LOL, very true!

Let me continue that list.

4. Post any new hoopmixtape/ballislife/teamflightbrothers youtube video.
5. Post any relatively funny poster from the cheezburger network sites.

Ratings are by default questionable and meaningless. Look at the people that vote, me and LBSS have voted 500+ messages, adarqui and Lance have voted 400+ and raptor has voted... 1800 !!! So this forum's ratings is mostly raptor's point of view on the posts. I'm just messing with LBSS and so does he.

so, 6. Post anything that raptor might care about.

PS : I just voted your message up , you mad?  :P

A closer look to the numbers would reveal a different truth :

You have 343 positive votes for 3835 total posts , thats about 1 positive per 11 posts.
I have 279 positive votes for 2105 total posts , thats about 1 postitive per 7,5 posts.

So you have a higher absolute positive votes count but my posts are relatively more respected than yours.

But that's nonesense because we're both fucked:

What happened to your knee?

Its not the knee , its my left quad. Something in the middle of vastus lateralis. Long story short : it began like a slight strain after 2 consecutive dunk sessions in the beginning of May but it wouldn't heal. I am a bit of a jerk going around injuries, i always push before it is 100% healed. I also had the 'amazing' idea to do Starting Strength at that time , squating 3x5 3 times a week!  :uhhhfacepalm:
So I did 2 itterations letting it slowly heal but it would keep reflaring. I hoped it would be fixed during my 3 week holidays but when i went back to the gym it was still bugging.
Finaly , i decided to make the heal a priprity. I drasticaly reduced squating volume, incorporated daily foam rolling and stretching and it seems like its healing for good now.
Thanks for asking! :D

lots of ass-2-calve squat sits, rotating my knees slowly/changing angles slightly to loosen up my knee(s).. always feels good


I remember you talking about those sits lately again. I am interested to use them to improve flexibility/mobility/posture, everything regarding full squatting of course.
So the question, how do you do them? do you rise on your toes in the hole to keep perfect upright tosro, OR do heels always touch the ground and you try to push as better posture as you can?

24 September 2012

Bodyweight@session : ~195,5  :o
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none?

Starting Strength - workout #29

SQUATS :
5@148,5 lbs ( +5,5 lbs )
-Quad felt like bugging on first 2 reps and caused some lean. Not sure if it was really there or i was just projecting it. Focused more and last 3 reps were perfect form and no bugging.

BENCH PRESS:
4@154 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -1 rep )
4@154 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -1 rep )
3@154 lbs ( +5,5 lbs ) , ( -2 reps )
15@110lbs ( same )
-Mental block, FML. Just because i reached 70kg after a long time i was intimidated. Did not go bad but i could go better.
15 rep finisher much stronger than last time , upping load next time.

SEATED CHEST SUPPORTED MACHINE ROWS:
5@176 lbs ( +1 rep )
4@176 lbs ( same )
5@176 lbs ( +1 rep )
15@132 lbs ( +2 reps )
-Very strong here. Staying at same loads next time though.

Gotta bump in as i love statistics.
You can see the monthly stats at the bottom of this page:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/stats/

So that last chart most probably wasn't counting till June 2010, as the activity e.g. in June 2010 was similar to nowadays, about 1500 posts per month.
