Member 287, 130 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 235570.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Ok, no more whinging in this log! I'll see how the wrist feels tomorrow. If it can't stand up to squats, I'll do hands-free squats (bar slightly higher placement, and just wrap my arms around the bar) with light weights. | ||

Member 287, 130 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 235570.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 29.07.2008 @ 20:16 PM by PhilE 29th July 08: No problems at all with my wrist, but my back is utterly screwed. It's hurt every squat session for the last couple of months now, which probably should have been a clue that something's not right. Felt dodgy at 140, and really bad at 160, but I ignored it and tried 180, and surprisingly enough it felt really bad at that weight too. Finally realised I was being an idiot and so basically binned the session there. I'm going to start being more diligent with mobility stuff and physio (which I didn't bother with today). (Note to nico: no whinging in this post!) Squats:...3@80/100/120/140/160 Wraps on: 3@180 Stopped proper lifting here, and just did some really light stuff: Weighted crunches: 4x8 Leg curls: 8x10 Lunges: 3x20@bar GMs: 3x20@bar 3x20@40 | ||

However, if you are injured, not getting treatment is also stupid. The back is a delicate thing, all the more so for us reasonable sized people. Get to see a good physio asap and don't train through it. Working round a dodgy wrist is a bit inconvenient, working round a f**ked back is a much bigger problem. Get it fixed then hit it hard mate. | ||

Slipped a disc a couple of years back, and it's never really recovered. Physio was s**t. When I trained with the athletics guys it was almost instantly completely pain free. However, I don't train with them anymore and don't have anywhere to throw shots into nets and I'm not sure there's anywhere I can throw medicine balls at walls. Should start doing the hanging core work though, even though I really hate it! The Big Gay said: wanna cheeky session? Of course. I've been missing the man love. | ||

Member 287, 130 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 235570.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | 31st July 08: Tried benching, but it hurt to bench the bar, even with my wrist strapped. It's odd that my wrist copes fine with chin-ups and squats, but can't take any weight on bench. It seems like it can't take any sideways pressure but is otherwise fine. Hopefully I'll be able to bench again by next week. I'm really really crap at chin-ups and overhead pressing, but whenever I do either of them consistently and heavy I get forearm pains. I'm not sure if I'm really prone to injury or just train like an idiot. Chins: 5/5/4/4/4/3/3/3 DB shoulder press: 10@14 5@18/22/26/30 1@34 (all right arm only) DB push press: 5@34/34/38/38/42 2@46 (all right arm only) Mobility work Hip flexor and hamstring stretches | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1582 posts | good db push presses mate. HOpefully the wrist should be ok for benching soon. Maybe try going lighter and working out if it is easier on the wrists with a wider/narrower grip or bar coming down a bit lower/higher. | ||

Maybe try going lighter and working out if it is easier on the wrists with a wider/narrower grip or bar coming down a bit lower/higher. I can't go much lighter than the bar! But I think you're right about grip width. With the wide grip my wrists are slightly cocked, so next time I'll try with a medium grip and my wrists completely straight. I've never done db push presses before, but it's a fun lift so I think I'll do it more in future. | ||

Member 287, 130 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 235570.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | 5th August 08: Felt s**te today, and was pouring with sweat after the mobility work. Got a headache now as well, though I think that's just because of all the salt I lost through sweating so much. Mobility work Squats: 2x10@bar 2x8@40 2x6@60 4@80/80/100/120 Unracked for another set at 120, but back felt off so I stopped there. Lunges: 16@bar/40/40 Chins: 5x3 Incline sit-ups: 10 Felt really tired and head was pounding, so I stopped there and went to do some light cardio. Did 15 minutes on static bike. Gradually worked my heartrate up to 175 in the first 8 minutes, and it stayed around that level from then on. Was going to do 20 minutes, but my back started to cramp after 15 minutes so I stopped. Feel a bit light-headed now and my headache is back. I'll make sure I eat better and have some kind of energy drink next time and hopefully that will help. | ||

Member 287, 130 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 235570.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I just pissed about for a couple of months not training much and sulking about being injured. However, by chance I ran into some powerlifters in the uni gym when I was going in for a mincing session, and have decided to start training again with them. I'm not going to go as mental on the squats this time round (using a proper progression instead rather than maxing every week), and I'll stick with sumo pulls for deadlift. I'm also doing physio every day (for now at least!) which will hopefully help. Monday 10th November: Squats: ...3@100/120/140/160(w)/180(w) 5/6@170(w) Pullthroughs: 15/15/20/20@stack Weighted abs: 3x8 Wednesday 12th November: Bench: ...3@100/105 2@110 4x3@100 (with last rep paused on each set) 11@80 Curls Friday 14th November: Box squats: ...8x3@110 Sumo deadlifts: ...1@160/170/180/190/200/170/170 Bent over rows: 10@60 8@80/100/100 Hanging leg raises: 8/8/10 | ||

That was months ago now; this log has just been very inactive (largely because I've been very inactive). But yes I do know and no it wasn't training related! I picked up a 20 stone friend against his will and ran down the road carrying him. Unfortunately, his trying to escape resulted in my awkwardly carrying all his weight on one wrist. I was drunk, please don't ask me for any justification for my actions! | ||

Member 287, 130 posts SQ 210, BP 125, DL 235570.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Wednesday 19th November: My return to heavy lifting may end up being very short indeed. I moved my stance out wide today on squats and my back started giving me grief at 140. Moving my stance in helped, but I still had to quit my top set of 160 after 1 rep due to back pains. Strangely, I had no problems with sumo deads: Squats: ...a few sets of a few reps at 120-140 plus a couple of singles at 150/160. Much whinging Sumo deads: ...3@140 2@160 1@180/200 2/2/4@180 (last set with straps) I'm using double overhand grip until the weights get too heavy then switching to hook grip. I reckon with a bit of grip training I should be able to do all my singles double overhand. | ||
