Ordered the camera (well, the phone) today and it is supposed to be 2-7days... don't know when you want to release your little video. If I am too slow, I'll just be in the second edition.

Of course there will be a second edition where we all will laugh at the puny weights we were using back then

Today's workout:
Walking (treadmill):
00:05:00 || 0.4 km (+8 pts)
Barbell Squat:
8 kgs x 5 (+6 pts)
18 kgs x 5 (+13 pts)
28 kgs x 3 (+20 pts)
38 kgs x 2 (+26 pts)
50 kgs x 5 (+38 pts)
50 kgs x 5 (+38 pts)
50 kgs x 5 (+38 pts)
form is much better now
Standing Barbell Shoulder Press:
8 kgs x 5 (+6 pts)
18 kgs x 5 (+15 pts)
28 kgs x 2 (+21 pts)
40 kgs x 5 (+33 pts)
40 kgs x 5 (+33 pts)

\o/
Barbell Deadlift:
58 kgs x 3 (+42 pts)
64 kgs x 2 (+45 pts)
84 kgs x 5 (+64 pts)
had to reset 20% on squats to fix form. Good decision though, it's looking solid and hitting parallel on most reps.
I didn't increase weight on the press this week, even though I finished them last week, cause I almost shitted myself last time  . This time it was much more solid, will surely try to add 2 kilos next time.
Deadlift still increasing, according to the gym guy form is good (even though he thinks I shouldn't deload every rep -_-, didn't bother trying to convince him that DEAD lift starts from a dead start, I'll just ignore)

Then I went into rage mode, loaded 140kg, proceeded to lift it up (super smooth btw), and at the end, smiled back at one of the girls in the gym. Epic? yes. Success? yet to know . hit it! :D

I had been pumping myself all day to rape 115kg squat, felt some pain in my right knee during warm up but I figured it would go away before I started with the heavy sets. It didn't so I had to stop at 80...
FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Good workout session, if I focus enough 55kg squats are peanuts. I don't know if it's fatigue, but when I lift heavy using the Valvalva maneuver (For example squat procedure: Breath in deep, get under the bar, lift chest, squad down, back up, small out-in breat, continue squatting) I feel a little dizzy and light in the head. Is this normal with the blood pressure? I have higher pressure in my head anyways (like too much water to float my massive brain around in). Just sleep it out and check if it stays?

Um, if you already have elevated intracranial pressure you may benefit a bit more from pursing your lips and breathing out during the concentric portion (coming up out of the squat).
Valsalva raises intraabdominal pressure a lot which in turn raises blood pressure, etc. which may not be a great idea if you already have ICP issues.
Pursed lip exhale will help lower the pressure but still allow you to keep your core tight.

Hey,
I'm a total exercise nub and am currently writing this whilst squirming in pain.
I started jogging about 2 weeks ago, after not really doing any physical activity for about three years (besides quickly walking to catch a train most days and occasionally soccer in the summer).
I jog for about 20-30 minutes, and while I'm starting to hate the actual exercise less and less, I have horrible pain in my lower legs (not sure if it's the calves or the actual bone) for 20-30 min after a jog. Is this normal? And if so, is there anyway to alleviate the pain somewhat?

Where exactly on your lower leg is the pain? Is it in the front right on the bone, in the back in the muscle? It could easily be shin splints if this is the first physical activity you've done in a long time. In any case a post-running bag of ice will generally help the issue, and make sure to stretch after you finish.

Sounds like it could possibly be shin splints
Generally get them if you're running technique is poor. Heel-toe running is terrible.. easily get shin splints that way.
Could also be something else like compartment syndrome or DOMS so.... need a better description/location/onset/type of pain/etc.
|
I think the pain is just behind the bone, but I can't say for sure right now since it passed. Sounds most like shin splints, that or maybe it's just normal pain and I don't know since I never exercised before this.
Heel-toe running is usually how I do it, I'm pretty sure. Isn't that the way you're supposed to run in running shoes anyways?
And if not, how would I even change this? It seems as it would be like trying to change how I breath.

Wrists are dying X_X (but on the last set, I found that gripping the bar as hard as I could alleviated this, so there's hope for getting to 250!)

No, heel-toe is terrible for your joints.
One version of shin splints is due to eccentric contraction of the dorsiflexors of the ankles (e.g. the bring your toes towards you is dorsiflexion) when you heel strike.
Basically, overusing the dorsiflexors eccentrically leads to very severe DOMS or if the muscle itself is fine it can start wearing a bit on the tibia itself (stress fractures) or if the fascia is tight it can cause some minor compartment syndrome.
There are several different methods to preventing overstriding such as POSE or CHI...
And you should ditch the cushiony shoes.
I've written a bunch on this stuff if you wanna learn more about the anatomy behind it.

Pretty sure it's palms facing each other, also known as a "hammer grip" pullup.
Can't wait to go lift tomorrow; I actually get to move up on my squat weight. Haven't done that in a while =x.

Hey guys, Ive got an issue and I'm wondering if you have any idea what it is.
ISSUE:
Pain in the exact center of my chest, right on the bone/at the surface. I get it when I do dips and it got pretty bad for a while, hurt in the morning when I woke up and other random times....
I went to the doctor and they said everything looked fine after gratuitous amounts of tests (EKG/bloodwork/etc...)
It feels like theres a seam in the center of my chest in the bone that I want to crack like a knee or finger....but obviously it doesn't crack. I figured it would go away but its been months and it still happens if I try dips, I've been avoiding them.
Anyone ever heard of something like this?
|
So found out that the exercise prescribed by my physical therapist actually made my knee worse (slowslowslow squats)... it's getting better now, finally. I also remember why I never did slow squats since after my running injury 2½ years ago - it only aggravates my knee injury.
Even did a short CF workout yesterday:
10 min. as many reps as possible of 7 feet to bar, 9 pushups, 13 swings (24 kg.)
Felt great and didn't feel my knee at all, yay :-D!
Looks like I have a chance to compete at this huge CF competition in August 27th afterall, which is awesome!

Hey, Someone told me I may want to post here to get some help, I'm a poor american who can't afford to go to the doctor unless absolutly necessary.
Since friday evening I've had some chest pains. Its right in the middle, where my ribcages meet, and about the high of my heart, but like I said, pretty much dead center of my chest. Its pretty constant pain and flares when movement or deep breath taken. People call me crazy but it FEELS like I pulled something, like the pain is very similar as if I pulled a leg muscle, the constant dull throb, then the flares when in use. Sometimes the pain goes away or moves a bit to the right ( my right looking down, away from the heart.) The pain doesn't feel as if its coming from INSIDE, but like RIGHT on the bone of the rib or right under the skin.
Anyone who could have any help with this would be greaty appreciated! I would seriously get this check out by a doc.However, the other thing I would say it likely could be if you did some stressful exercise like pulling or pushing movements on the ribcage is that it could be costochondiritis / tietze syndrome I do have a write up this but seriously get it checked out by a doc. Do not mess with potential heart issues. + Show Spoiler +costchondritis/tietze syndrome:
So you can give yourself costcondritis/tietze syndrome/etc. by aggravating your costal cartilages by doing this.
Since the origin of the pecs is on the sternum and partially on the costal cartilages, if you haven't used your chest in resistance trainig much before the connective tissues aren't as strong. Thus, when you do a deep movement where you erally stretch out the pecs like dips, the origin of the muscle on the costal cartilages can start to pull them away from the costal facets on the sternum
Obviously, this creates inflammation and in general can lead to some popping and hurting.
Best thing you can do is REST AND LET IT HEAL. Take your anti-inflammatories to help decrease inflammation and allow healign to occur. Fish oil is always good. Massage to teh area works as well.
Ice if it helps. Otherwise, once it starts feeling better use heat to stimulate more blood flow to encourage faster healing from the body since the area does not get a lot of blood flow as it is bone/cartilage in that area.
Keep the muscles working through full but non-weight bearing and non-painful range of motion so that the muscles don't tighten up on you, and the muscle movement will also help stimulate blood flow to the area as well.
Usually, if you didn't chronically aggravate you should be able to get back to exercising within a week.
Just avoid the exercise that aggravates it for a while, and focus on other exercises that are less intense of the chest... and then work your way back into these SLOWLY so you don't reaggravate your condition.
@sob3k The spoiler by eshlow from a couple pages back seems pretty relevant, figured I would dig that up so he didn't have to repost it =p.
