stephen9069 said: That sounds horrendous mate definitely have it worse than me lol. Your set up looks good mate especially with the stones. I love having it there the only downside im having is if some of my innuries are hurting i dont want to lift so can be very inconsistent from week to week. Have you got any plans to compete again ? Yeah ive stupidly booked myself in for cambridges strongest man inters class lol Gives me something to aim for. If i can not get a "no lift" on day with the pressing ill be happy. What about you, you got anything coming up? | |||

| A lots changed! We are falling to pieces lol I've had one shoulder operation, about 5 cortisone injections in my shoulders and an extra one guided by ultrasound today. I have a nose operation coming up too so i can actually breathe! I have also set up a garage gym recently and im loving it. Keep buying toys for it though and ive got more weight i could ever lift lol [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/t51rjohn/13106688_101548...

| Starting a new log, different training programming so lets see how it goes. I have my first powerlifting meet in a few weeks so im doing a peaking cycle to get me there. I have programmed in my current maxes at DL 240kg Sq 170kg & Bench 120kg. This is lower than a true max but my training has been off so im going for an easier safer start. After the comp i will be concentrating on adding pure strength with the aim of being at my best for May when i have Bodypower and 2 other comps. Mondays Session Bench press - paused 60kg x 3 done 72.5kg x 3 done 85kg x 3 done 85kg x 3 done 95kg x 3 done 95kg x 3 done 95kg x 3 done 95kg x 3 done 95kg x 3 done 95kg x 3 done Squats 85kg x 3 done 102.5kg x 3 done 120kg x 3 done 120kg x 3 done 120kg x 3 done 135kg x 2 Done 135kg x 2 done 145kg x 1 done 145kg x 1 done 145kg x 1 done 135kg x 2 done 135kg x 2 done Seated machine flys 40kg x 10 done 50kg x 10 done 50kg x 10 done 50kg x 10 done Leg press 4x4 250kg x 4 done 300kg x 4 done 300kg x 4 done 300kg x 4 done | |||

| Not been on here for a while. Went dark in my prep for bodypower and now im doing some rehab on my shoulder and wrist issues. Wrist - Damaged tendon - Wearing a splint and doing some strength building exercises now the pain is almost gone. Should be good for proper training in a few weeks hopefully but im in no rush. Shoulders - Impingement in both sides - Both sides pec minor is very tight causing the shoulders to roll forward. Also my lower traps are not strong enough to fight with my tight pecs. Currently doing pec stretching, lower trap strengthening exercises and lacrosse ball massage for my pec minors. My physio said they are the worst she has seen and she has dealt with a lot including the Saints Rugby team. The normal position for shoulders when laying back down on a bed should have a gap of 2 cm from the bed however mine were 10 & 8cm. Last time i went physio it was 8 & 7cm so im getting there but will still be impinged. Will carry on the rehab until im decent. Hopefully this will be the reason my overhead didnt progress in a long time. Training wise im doing GVT on a 4 day split. Day 1 - Legs - Deads (non gvt) Leg Press or Squats, then superset leg ext & curls. Day 2 - Chest & Back - Bench (when it doesnt hurt), Lat Pulldowns, then superset some type of fly (normally cable) with face pulls or seated rope rows. Day 3 - Arms - Narrow Grip Smith Machine Bench, Hammer Curls. Superset a curl with either tricep extension or pulldown. Day 4 - Shoulders - Military Press (when no pain), Rear delt raises, lateral or front raises (when shoulder doesnt hurt). Im also doing pilates when i can to help with mobility and Yoga for flexibility and i also including a stretching regime in my training after i finish to make sure i can sustain my strength training. Once i have rehabbed and i have done a few months of GVT i will start doing olympic lifting over the week with strongman sessions every other week to start getting my technique right for next years season. | |||
| » Shin splints!!!! (Go to post) | 12-04-2014 @ 02:15 | ||
| I get shin splints pretty bad doing yoke at the minute, giving it a couple of weeks off yoke now to stretch it off, ice and reduce any pain. Gonna look at new trainers and adding some calf exercises into my leg routine with a definate stretch off at the end! Shin sleeves arent a bad shout either, anything to help! | |||
