Unfortunately we couldn't use it due to combinations of too much ice, hallways too small, and patients that needed to be immobilized. After posting that I had one more patient carry, but it was an 8 months old. Guess we'll call that a cool-down? | ||

Lower back is fried. There will be no real lifting tonight. RDLs and Rows tomorrow. On the topic of morning workouts, I workout in the evening 4 days/week (~4 pm) and the morning once/week (7 am) and notice that morning workouts seem to always be the same. They're never great, but they're never awful. I do notice that I'm both more awake, and more hungry through the rest of the day though. I don't understand? You are a paramedic and your job is to piggy back carry people? | ||

No, most of our carrying is done with the patient strapped down to a 6 ft long backboard and a person on either end. Honestly if I could piggyback carry people, and trust my partner to haul the bags around, my job would be a lot easier. | ||

The sucking part mostly comes from being absolutely fried from tuesdays workout. Still, squats cure everything so I'm sure I'll be better off now. I've been active, doing various sports along with lifting recently. Such as bouldering and badminton. Been trying to figure out my goals and what I want from lifting anymore besides staying in shape. I figure I'll pack on maybe +5-7 kg with upper body emphasis and then progress with bodyweight workouts while maintaining lifting strength. Lol, never been this lean and with this much muscle in my life tho. Not that I'm crazy ripped, but I really dont have much fat and my muslces are more visible than what I'm used to. Dropped out almost all sugar from my diet too. So I guess I'll go for 87-90kg, being around 83 kg now @ 188 cm. My upper body has always been lagging behind in strength. Squats and deadlifts are strong tho. (Not compared to some of you guys...) Some goals that would be nice to reach this year (PR's are numbers I've reached, but what will take a little bit of work to get back to): Deadlift: 180kg (170kg PR) Squat: 140kg (130kg PR) Bench: 90-100kg (75kg PR) OHP: 60kg (55kg PR) And then various movements that involve bodyweight training, such as handstands, handstand pushups, L-seat etc. I don't have much interest going further than that with barbell training, as it's hard enough to find pants that fit even now and it'll take a lot of work to maintain. Of course I'll have fitness goals to strive for, but I don't see a point in going further in that, as I'm just creating a good foundation for regular sports, healthier lifestyle and overall being 'strong enough to manage'. | ||

If you protest pls be safe. I found out that from the powerlifting contest I did in November that I've qualified for nationals. Thing is I've qualified for u100kg, and currently weigh 106kg, and it's on the 1st of March. Don't think I'm going to make weight... | ||

Does anyone else feel like they are going to shit their pants when they front squat? I have just started getting that recently. It feels like my anus is opening to take a shit (although nothing comes out  ) and is really distracting to my workout. Maybe a problem with my CNS? | ||

I drink like... 3L a day. At least. 2 150 cl carbonated water bottles. Try adding an electrolyte mix packet (no sugar) into like a liter of water an hour or two before you work out. Should keep you hydrated for the workout and your body shouldn't shed the water so quickly. | ||

Not usually a fan of taking supplments or pills at all, but seems to do a lot of good things for you from what I've researched so far. I've taken it for stretches of time and it's interesting. I think it can definitely improve mood and sleep if you are having problems with those, but I would be wary of taking it for more than a couple weeks at a time because of upregulation problems with receptors. | ||

A lot of Kelly Starrett's exercises are really good, but I want to start stretching more in the morning and I don't have any access to floor space/resistance bands. Any help is appreciated. | ||

I literally cannot do that though. I can try to make progress each day on it, but I have ridiculously tight hamstrings that I can't hip-hinge at all and I just end up rounding my entire back trying to touch my toes. Even then I still only make it to about my upper shins. | ||

I can try the exercise at the end, but I don't think I'll be able to get a good range of motion on it because I'm really that tight. | ||
