 Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 25.03.2014 @ 17:30 PM by MattD90 Thanks everyoneNot gonna update this all the time but yesterday: ATG Leg press 60 x 8 100 x 5 140 x 5 180 x 5 220 x 5 260 x 5 300 x 5 320 x 5 340 x 5 360 x 5 PB 310 x 10 walking DB lunges 25s x 8 each leg 35s x 8 each leg. easy My leg press i'm using atm is a hinged one, not one that slides. I find these a lot easier and I'm around 100kg stronger on them. On a normal slidey leg press I honestly struggle with about 260, even if I just cut depth at "just in". I have no idea how people with 4-5 plate squats put like 400+ on them, baffles me. Couple of days ago I did HIIT on a bike and got quad burnz to f**k Tonight I'm doing some cardio, high rep sit ups, 5x20 calf raises and can very tentatively do 3x15 on seated row and curls. | ||

Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 26.03.2014 @ 12:36 PM by MattD90 Tricep cables and seated row can be "done" physically but only carefully. I can't really describe how strange a sensation it is having muscles in your rotator cuff you have no control over anymore and have atrophied to nothing.The other day at a meal I couldn't physically lift the jug of water off the table. I suspect a couple of other muscles may be partly affected but won't know until EMG. You don't realise how much you need those muscles. It's the strangest of sensations, in some planes of motion my arm sort of trembles because the wrong muscles are trying to do the rotator cuff's job, so there are compensations and the other muscles aren't as co-ordinated at doing it. When I raise a large bottle of water to my face sometimes it wobbles and is weak and I need to lean my upper body back to swig it. For this reason I have to only do seated row occasionally and can't "smash dat back", scapular rhythm has to be good throughout (i don't know how to tell this but physio said it was good) and I only use about 80% of my previous weight on the stack. So it's more like trying to maintain a little lats because I can, than actually progress. Same with tri extensions. A time may come in further months when I get classic impingement symptoms because my humeral head is constantly anteriorly subluxated as no infra/supra are pulling it back. I suppose I'll cross that bridge if I come to it. Thanks for reading | ||

 Hill sprints are fun! Member 731, 3253 posts SQ 200, BP 127.5, DL 232.5560.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Sounds s**t. However, its going to be pretty cool when you're 80kg of nothing, but quads! | ||

However, its going to be pretty cool when you're 80kg of nothing, but quads! lol fingers crossed that won't happen It seems that holding DBs by my sides for long sets of walking lunges, light seated rows and cable tricep work, and some sit ups/hyper extensions is doing enough to lightly maintain muscle of abs, erectors, lats, tris, bis etc. I'm now 6 weeks in doing the above (plus hammering leg press and leg machines) and the only place I can see myself definitively shrinking is the lateral delts (I'm narrower for sure). Fingers crossed I won't be this [IMG]http://d1tk82p0a1n27d.cloudfront.net/pictures/36a1694bce9815b7... | ||
