I didn't last long and I'm not looking forward to waking up tomorrow... Mad props to Phyre and Decaf and other rugby players. It is the shit. What position do they have you playing in scrums? You're ~191cm 100kg last I knew, is that still right? | ||

I'm not that tall, only 185cm and I've lost some weight due to laziness and school. They didn't have a specific place yet although one of the older guys wanted to have me as a hooker. Apparently I could throw pretty far lol. We had a tiny pitch, perhaps 5x10m and just went at eachother. Called it mauling or something. I need to do some more cardio lol. | ||

I've been reading too much reddit, and I noticed this part straight away: one of the older guys wanted to have me as a hooker.. I couldn't quite wrap my head around how that would even work with a bear like sJarl, do they go 'do me harder pretty please?.' Last crappy post from me, promise. | ||

Unless I'm misinterpreting your sets/reps notation. I was asking about that a few pages back and people were telling me to do sets of 3. | ||

You'd be more along the lines of the local men's team's hooker, who's huge, a bit scary, and a lot crazy... but you have to be at least a little crazy to play men's league rugby. It's a whole different game from the college level. Mauling is when a tackle is made, but the guy holding the ball doesn't go to the ground. He's held up in the air by his team mates, and a bunch of guys will come in, bind together and try to push the "maul" one way or the other down the field. IMO, mauling is fun. Scrumming is hard.

Funkie does what funkie does, and he's been doing it for a while. It's harder to maintain the upright posture and harder to breathe in a front squat vs a back squat, so you keep them lower reps... but that's not to say you CAN'T do higher reps, just like you can do more than five reps on a back squat. | ||

Yeah I'm pretty fucked up on my brain. I don't know why, but I really like the whole mentality of the SS program. 3x5 on everything, or kind of everything. I still keep my deadlift sets "easy" and my powerCleans sets in the highSet/lowRep ratio. But yes, I'm nuts.  | ||

Hung out with a bunch of buddies back in high school. Near the end of the night one of them came up and said bye. He was like oh yeah by the way man your looking seriously built. You lost weight and now your just looking big. I just said thanks and he was like no problem man, no homo but your looking sexy as fuck. Haha I can dig it. | ||

As always our div 2 and div 1 teams have been going good, while our veterans team started strong but quickly ran out of puff. I really should have done more sport specific training the past couple of weeks. I'm not really what you'd call "game fit". Particularly when it comes to jogging + intermittent sprinting + sharp turning and pivoting. Gonna be sore as hell in the morning. But that's life I guess. | ||

First workout there should be on the 18th after my induction. Also got my blood pressure measured. I'm 115/53 and my resting heart rate is 45(!). The person measuring it was pretty shocked but I've never had any sort of problems with it and the staff member they called over said it shouldn't be a problem if I've had it all my life. | ||

1 - I can "squat" below parallel 2 - When I do that, my knees never go beyond the tip of the toe (which they should, at least from what I've read). They mostly stay around the mid of the feet. 3 - I can't do this movement (youtube vid). When I try to do that, I fall backwards. I'm posting this because I used to do high-bar Squats, but I switched to low bar because I was having pain on my glutes (I think it's related to the sciatic nerve). I read that low bar is easier on your lower back, so I changed it. Ever since I changed it, it has definitely helped with the pain on my glute, but now I've been feeling pain on my knees, which led me to think that I'm not doing proper squats. From what I'm reading, it seems I have "short calves". Is it fixable? Because of all this, I'm considering changing, temporarily, to a Upper/Lower split schedule where I'll squat less often, until the "problem" is solved and I can squat properly 3 times a week. My knees hurt in a way that I feel like they are 'tired', and I'm scared that something bad will happen next time I squat. Help! | ||

Do some stretches into the squat position too. Maybe someone here can give you some better stretches. | ||

It's summer now and exams are over. I've got a lot of free time and I decided to look for something different to do for a few weeks. I found this on the Starting Strength wiki: http://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/Weightlifting/RussianSquatProgramGenerator.html I think I'm going to start this on monday 18th. It looks pretty intense. EDIT: Look at Week 3, Day 2. | ||

What's really cool is that it has a dedicated weight room which is quiet (no music, TV) and is just free weights and racks/benches. Nothing else. Looks perfect for what I want. The person giving me a tour didn't try to sell me anything and told me that I should keep running outside and stick to free weights which surprised me a bit. I hear so much negativity about the gym industry that I didn't expect that. First workout there should be on the 18th after my induction. Also got my blood pressure measured.

Any chance that was a Virgin Active? | ||
