^ yes lady michael jordan, I paused up top.  I think pausing up top makes it easier since I can get a breather.

10/26

No squat today, going to rest for tomorrow when i attempt 250 x 5 x 3 full paused.

Push ups x 35, had to stop, had this type of pain on shoulders, been lingering for months

Declined sit ups (almost 90 degrees)  x 20 x 2

DB shoulder press (40 x 10) (45 x 10)  no pain on shoulders

Bench press 135 x 12, had to stop due to pain on shoulders.

This shoulder joint problem has been bothering me for months now.  I have yet to bench in so long.  Been really lacking in upper body strength.  For some reason, benching hurts, but db incline bench does not.  Shoulder press does not, but push up there is pain.

My doctor advises knee squat machinie the ligaments around the chest for the tard pain in your lats. I dont know but try some vietnam D and C they help take it in the morning for the bones and stuff.

Hey really nice man... after all that volume coming up with that rep is no joke... but it's not something I'd do. It doesn't make too much sense to use a bigger weight AFTER you already put in quite a bit of work with a lower, fatiguing weight.

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg

^ thanks.  I didn't know that.  I thought the right thing to do was increase weight towards the last few reps when you are more fatigued for greater stress on lifts.


Use the heaviest weight in your workout when your most warmed up/freshest...  Not after fatiguing yourself.  Then if you want to, drop the weight and get in more volume
Goal is to dunk.

Vertical needed to dunk: 40"

Current vertical : 38.5"

Why the heck would you go overboard like that in terms of weight... it's obvious you can't do it for 8 reps...

But then again - nothing is surprising about you anymore.

Yeah but it looks extremely hard even from the 5th rep or so... to me, it doesn't make any sense to use that kind of weight.

Very nice, and with a pause at the bottom. I'm not sure if I can do that to be honest (I probably can but still, great job). Sorry to lose you a neg.

What are you doing about your bodyfat issue? All asians pretty much have it, they naturally carry a higher bodyfat % (hence the "yellow skin") so you need to take additional nutritional considerations in order to improve it. Hey Bruce Lee, don't be mad at me bro.

1) Awesome squatting.
2) 180lbs/25%bf is about 135lbs of LBM, i seriously doubt your maintenance is 2800. Your BMR is around 1900 so even if you burn a lot with daily activities 2500 or less seems much more realistic.
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

Nah, i did the same mistake in the past. 1 hour of vigorous weightlifting is no more than 300kcals. From what i remember the most consuming sport is boxing and even 1 hour of boxing is around 800kcals. You need to drastically reduce your caloric income if you want to cut some fat.
Some examples that i remember to realize how it goes:
dreyth is 190-200lbs at 10% or less, long workouts, 8 miles walking and he uses ~2800 as maintenance.
lbss is ~180lbs at ~12%, works out for 2 hours and also uses around ~2800 as maintenance
entropy is now ~175/12% but uses 1500 to cut.
myself , ~195/16% and i go ~2100 on workout days, ~1800 on non workout to cut.
General rule of thumb: ~10*bodyweight for cutting , ~1800 for you.

What happens if you do glute stuff like KB swings? (if you have access to a kettlebell)

What about pure glute stuff like hip thrusts?

No but I thought that maybe you could work on that without your injury flaring up.

Haha so how did the hip thrust go? For me, having a big butt and stuff, doing hip thrusts with plates lower than 45 lbs is pretty much impossible since I can't fit under the bar. By the way - make sure you SERIOUSLY pad the bar if you don't want to be in serious hip pain.
