The other day, I decided to try doing a leg supported german hang. I was trying to do it with palms down. During the hold, I started feeling an odd discomfort in the back of my right elbow, where the tricep connects into it. At this point, I immediately stopped. I don't know if this matters, but it happens to be the same elbow where I have had some tricep tendonitis issues. I was concerned that my elbows are not prepared for the stress when the arm is completely straight. Am I supposed to activate the biceps during the hang to alleviate some of the elbow pressure? Also, I was wondering if you had recommendations for how to strengthen the elbow joint safely. I was thinking about doing Ring Support Holds, and eventually Ring L-Sits. Would these be a good way to start out? | ||

Actual free-range, naturally locally grown chickens. Eggs are all different sizes, colors... this shit is fantastic. Cant beat it! Lets hope all goes well! Had a good workout today. Decided to start doing some speed benches to help me break my 100kg plateau. Speed Bench: 5 sets of 60kg x 3 (super easy, focusing on staying tight the whole time and blasting through the rep) Push Press: Worked up to a set of 80kg x 3. A PR but prolly more jerk than push press. Wanted to squat aswell so I worked up a a top set of 145kg. Missed the first one and looking at the vid I saw that I had the rep in me the whole time. For those interested in how to dump the bar, lol: + Show Spoiler + So I decided I wasn't gonna go home without a new squat PR and this time I nail it! It was a classic grinder, the rep took forever. Only the camera f*cked up and didn't get catch the whole lift....fml. So what to do? Go for it again. This one is for you funkie: | ||

 did something like 2 of 80x2, 2 of 85x2, 90x2 and 95x2. Then got in a rep at 100 and two singles at 105. My guys yelled at me for going too heavy for it being two days after a competition lol. I've gotten 105 several times now but every time i usually have to walk out at least a couple feet to finish it. Must not be finishing my second pull or something  Gonna go get in some heavy front squats and some shoulder work (had to stop lifting to go coach some high school rugby lol)edit: just got back from round 2. Managed to hit a triple at 315 for front squat. Need to work more on these though i think if i want to really improve my clean and jerk. Also raped the hell out of my shoulders via OHP, behind the neck press and some jerk reps. Turns out i would have taken first in the 94 class on saturday if i actually entered and would have been at least top 3 or 5 overall lifter (sinclaire of 271) I put up 240 and i think next highest was 215 or 225. One of the guys i lift with took overall best lifter w/ 117 snatch + 141 cj @ 100kg bw. Some monster kid that used to train in colorado (olympic camp?) in the 94 class hit a 132 snatch but missed his 160 cj 3 times. This 40 year old asian guy also managed to put up a 217 total at a 70kg bodyweight. Guy had some really impressive speed but i guess hasnt been able to lift much due to job.

I had this before and it just went away after a couple weeks. EDIT: Actually come to think of it, might just be a strained. The pain isn't too horrible but it has its moments. Well if its a strain it should get better soon. If its an SI joint you might wanna see a chiro and get it popped into place quickly. What helped me a lot was learning how to pop it back in place myself (put a foam roll between my knees (lying on my back) and squeeze, should be a demo on youtube or smth) and some core work such as planks/side planks + sideways leg lift to work the stabilizer muscles to keep it in place. | ||

SJarl: you outsquatted my PR by 15kg, and when I set that PR I was 8kg heavier than I am now. Decaf: What. The. Fuck. Who gets this strong in olympic lifting this fast, especially in a class you're too tall for? Anyway, I did end up hitting the gym today to finish my workout interrupted by the retard on Monday. Worked my way up in squats to hit 93kg, did rows at 72kg (lol), and did some weighted hypers and situps. I'm currently eating at a caloric deficit so I gotta work my way up conservatively, but once I get into single digit body fat it's on. | ||

This one is for you funkie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_5hOwgF6dc Oh man I love you. I couldn't finish my workout yesterday, I had to go to the grocery store and pickup some shit I paid for beforehand and well, It was getting late. But my Powercleans are the shiznit. I love it, cause, I feel tired no more, my squat is bitching 106kg (moving up again fuck si!), and power clean with 60kg (going for bw again, fuck si again). And I did press. :D Light press (40kg) but fuck si, doing press rules, gives you this "I'm manly and I'm a badass mothrfckr bitches". FUCK SI. Pool day today :D time to show some progress to the peepz? :D <3 u all :D let's go at it boysssss btw, By doing Power cleans and Press, it's like getting "ready" to do cleans, that's the way I feel about it, I think I can do a full clean at 40-50kg without fucking up. Will try to do it, and take a video of it. yay! :D | ||

I had this before and it just went away after a couple weeks. EDIT: Actually come to think of it, might just be a strained. The pain isn't too horrible but it has its moments. If you think it's SI get to a physical therapist or chiro ASAP. If it's more of a muscle strain (you feel it in the muscle & when you push on those soft tissues) then follow the strain protocol.

Would these be a good way to start out? Yes, the biceps should be activated during german hangs/back lever but you should still be at the end of range of motion at your elbow. So it's a fine line. This is one of the only times i recommend biceps curls because you may need a bit more strength in the biceps. Straigth arm support holds on rings are good, biceps curls are ok, any type of pulling exercises to strengthen biceps will be good as well.... pullups/rows/etc. | ||

I switched from running to cycling last week to give it some rest. I did an easy 5 mile run at around 6 MPH on friday and only had a little discomfort in the knee and some tightness in my calf. I tested it again on monday and I still can't go above 6.5 without that slight pain in the outside of my knee. It doesn't bother me at all when I run up stairs or cycle. Any idea wtf is wrong with me? i'm guessing it's just a poor form/overuse injury. How long should I rest it before testing it again? What caused it? Sounds like it could be IT band syndrome or patellofemoral (but I would only say that with <50% certainty b/c there ain't enough info). If so do massage/soft tissue work/foam roll/stretching/etc. Stuff from page 4 here my help http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/11/shoes-sitting-and-lower-body-dysfunctions/ | ||

Today I ate very low calories (only 1700~), but since I ate three medium sized sweet potatoes, I got in 70 grams of carbohydrates. I know that Atkins and keto recommend under 50 and 20 respectively, but I just felt that the health benefits of sweet potatoes (insulin regulation, amazing calorie:nutrient ratio) were good enough to justify their carbohydrate content. I'm not specifically trying to follow either of these diets, but I do want my fat loss to progress at an ideal pace, and for that I think low carb is the fastest way. Rosita linda de mi corazon, comete tus papitas dulces y se feliz como yo :D. In summary, yes. SWEET POTATOES ftw!. | ||
