I haven't jumped in a gym in... ...... 2 years I think. And before that I haven't jumped in a gym for 5 years.

1) If you’re prone to turn your squat into a good morning, these findings throw another potential culprit into the mix – your glutes. Since they can contribute to knee extension via the rectus femoris, if you’re unable to produce enough knee extension torque to come up out of the bottom of a squat without your back angle relative to the ground decreasing (hips rising faster than the bar), they could potentially be to blame.

I swear whenever I see Roy Jones JR I want to take up boxing.
Can I get to a boxing club and just train there without going into actual fights and have my cranium cracked and liver dispatched from my body? Although a lot of boxing clubs here are absolutely horrible, in terms of what people are in them (everybody, trainers, boxers etc, are absolutely hideous human beings that you don't want to associate with in any way).

Yeah they look fine, however, I would emphasize the hip hyperextension part and pause in that hyperextended position for one or two seconds, with a lighter weight. You'd get a much better training effect.
Keep the dynamic movements using dynamic movements so to speak, so be explosive with KB swings and med ball tosses, not with hip thrusts. Do hip thrusts with the purpose of tension and great ROM and movement control/pace.

Roy Jones JR is my favorite boxer of all time... he's just, I don't know, amazing, looks unreal at times, has has a great combination of savagery, athleticism and "swagger"/arrogance.

What do you mean "you can't do them while maintaining a flat back"? In what way? What's stopping you?
It sounds to me like you're the kind of guy that likes to use his back on hip-driven lifts, especially dynamically. I wonder how your hip thrusts really look like, there's a big change you're doing "back extensions" on them and not necessarily using the glutes right.
I also wonder how a deadlift looks like for you.
What weight did you use for the KB?

« on: April 10, 2016, 02:54:49 pm »I used my TENS unit around my left hip yeterday.. and the niggles ive felt all week have disappeared overnight. That's cool. I love this thing, acole you're the man for suggesting it! I use it on my lower back regularly and im good there too
Oh thanks mate! I forgotten I mentioned that to Raptor I think. It's not magic but I think the increased blood flow helps. There's all sorts of reps and schemes to use it but I just crank it to just below intolerable and go for 10-15mins.
What? What's a "TENS" unit?

« on: April 10, 2016, 06:31:54 am »I just bought a 5 kg med ball and a 24 kg kettlebell with less than 100 euros, years ago. I just paid 100 euros for two items I'll basically have forever, so a great investment.
Ehhh I hope it is forever. We had a 12lb medicine ball crack in half on us at practice today. Never been tossed on hard surfaces only turf, grass and sand and the ball split down the middle on a far toss...
It's a Kettler ball, pretty sturdy.
This reminds of an incident with another med ball, a yellow, 3 kg medball that we took to the track back in ~2010 or so. We were tossing it up etc and it used to make this weird sound when it hit the ground.
At one point, we toss it up, it hits the ground and it explodes, and water with some sort of soap pours out of it. We laughed like crazy for 10 minutes when that happened.

I think it's still a matter of quad strength.
I never ever goodmorninged any squat, and I'm quad dominant.
It can't be the hamstrings, because when you're goodmorninging a squat you are loading up the hamstrings more, and you wouldn't do that if they were weaker.
