Went out and started looking at gyms again. Most of them have a lot of machines (rofl, everytime I saw a smith machine I yelled DEEECAF), none of them have barbells, nor a squat rack. Found a CrossFit gym, just emailed them to see if they'd allow me to use their equipment for OlyLifting and maybe seldomly do a class once in a while. Hopefully they reply. They have bumper plates, and a shitload of space to throw weights around. :D. Edit: holy shit, in one of their pics, they show their equipment and it's all Rogue. HOLY GRAIL? | ||

Crossfit loves rogue fitness, I think there might be a partnership there or something. | ||

I think they were just the first company to really market themselves to crossfit, and they sponsor all the equipment for the games. That combined with the way crossfit is really isolated from the rest of the fitness world kinda means crossfitters see rogue as the "best of the best" when it comes to equipment, even if that's not actually the truth. | ||

Yeah rogue stuff is good but not great. Holy grail is finding a place full of eleiko/zhang kong equipment, full of crossfit girls, where only rock and metal music is allowed. | ||

Holy grail is finding a place full of eleiko/zhang kong equipment, full of crossfit girls, where only rock and metal music is allowed. I CALL IT HOLY GRAIL BECAUSE.. most gyms here just use machines, and not free weights. I went to around 6-7 gyms. only one had a squat rack, and it was at the back of the gym. I asked, they said it was never used.  ?1.- They have squat racks. 2.- They have bumper plates. 3.- They allow oly lifting and power lifting. 4.- The attitude towards Oly lifting there is pretty much the standard. If you're not doing compound lifts, you're doing it wrong. 5.- It's probably the only place in the whole state that allows this kind of lifting. 6.- Since the mind set here isn't that biased towards free weights, Rogue equipment might be the best thing I can find in terms of quality. | ||

So here's my question. It's obvious I have a lot of muscle imbalances; How do I identify and work on fixing them BEFORE stuff starts to hurt? | ||

They said form improves over the duration of a long session, and the conclusion was to do shorter sessions.. What? To ne it just demonstrates the importance of the warmup sets. | ||

For example, I was having pain in my groin/hip/adductor area the other day after a run on one side. After doing some research I found out what the injury probably was and some corrective stretches to fix that (Tight hip flexors). I'm working on fixing that with stretching every morning, but as that issue is fixing itself I'm discovering I have new fucked up shit. Something else hurts or is tight. 2 or 3 things now I have noticed are tight or fucked up and I then set in on fixing it. So here's my question. It's obvious I have a lot of muscle imbalances; How do I identify and work on fixing them BEFORE stuff starts to hurt? Welcome to athlete life ^_^ You're becoming a high performance machine that requires more maintenance. Yoga will expose your weakness and imbalances pretty fast and show you what you need to fix (and help you fix it). Isolation stuff with dumbells (rows, presses, etc) or isolation movements/stretches (like pistol squats) so that you can compare left to right are good as well. | ||

Another alternative is going to a good chiro (my crossfit gym has one). All my knee pain was from a small cramped muscle behind the joint that pulled my knee sideways and fucked it up. Been massaging it as he taught me and applying ice on the joint and I feel almost like before I started oly lifting. He also fixed my right angle and told me to stretch both tight soas, my hip also feels better as a result. What a good chiro does is put you in a table and check for joint misalignments. Then he'll start pinching your body and whenever u are really tight u just jump of the pain. Then rub out tightness and give you the corrective drills to fix the areas. Decaf, I've never touched an eleiko bar :'( | ||
