single pic is of my right. under correct lighting it looks more defined.

seeing how i jump off my left, im not sure why the right leg looks to be more developed.
this also sorta explains why i have a harder time on barbell stepups with my left leg.  :-\

week 64
tues: lower

prehab: peterson stepups, cobras, glutes

REA squats: 3 x (30, 40, 50, 60)

squats: 5 x (70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 100)

stepups: DND, rowers wanted the rack.

DB reverse lunges: 8 x (20, 25, 25)

hanging leg raises: 3 x 15

pullups: 2 x AF (20, 11)

- pretty happy i got 120.
- didnt do anymore reverse lunges cos lower back was cooked.
- *edit* i really cant do ATG squats. mayb cos of my inflexible ankles or something. when i try to go really deep, my lower back loses its arch, and the butt rounds forward. not sure if this is what people call "buttwinking".
think imma stick with my half squats for now.

My fingers have biceps frm scrolling.

Really really nice setup man, gym membership was the best 100 odd u spent! 100 odd a month right?

I hate tweaky hips. When I get that at the start of a workout I know I'm not gonna have a great day.

What I do is I take my time warming up. When im on the treadmill for a really short run to warm myself up, i  do somee pseudo lunges type things, just big steps, opening up my strides. Leg swings both front/back and left/right helps too.

week 63
mon

prehab: shoulders, cobras, peterson stepups

REA squats: 3 x (40, 50)

Squats: 5 x (60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 115, 115)

Stepups

DB reverse lunges


pullups: 5 x (bw, 10, 15, 20, 25)

ab wheel rollouts: 3 x 20

- wanted to ramp up to more weight as usual on rea, but this senior dude came over and told me it wasnt good.
  didnt know how to explain myself, but felt had to be nice, so stopped.

- while i was squatting, he told me i wasnt squeezing my butt/glutes at the top, therefore not working the hips. i told him i thought that was for deadlifts, and thought to myself that hip movement was primarily at the bottom of the squat.

he tried to demo with my weight, which was abt 70kg. failed at bottom on 2nd rep, fell back, thank god the safety was there. held on with one hand on the safety, and went back up with it. hope the dude's alright.

- really fast workout. left work late, had only an hour or so. other than a fast prehab, not much warmup, dived straight into workout. finished in less than an hour. fastest workout ever.

It felt alright ytd while playin, but that's cos it was pretty casual play, and I didnt try jumping...
Felt sore and abit fatigued when I got home, coldpacked it, and rubbed some tiger balm on the ankle before headin out to work today.

Dun think I'm up for maximal jumping anytime soon tho.

How's things on ur side?

Hahah we're like the sprain support group, you and me lol!
