www.instagram.com Shoulder is hurting, knee is hurting (a bit), but both are getting better and squats are going really well. Definitely one of my best sets ever. I hope the carry over to lower reps is there when I need it. Still 3 1/2 months out from my next competition. | ||

It is small, but basically every lifters dream. The whole stuff is super young and directly recruited from the Deutsche SportHochschule. Just an amazing place. | ||

That would be super awesome. In my next life I want my physique to be like yours. In the meantime, I am trying for the more bulky but less fat look. | ||

e.g. last, last Friday when reracking I missed the left clip thing after doing OHP... sprained both my wrists doing that, waited a week to lift again (this time with borrowed wrist wraps) and it felt ok with the wraps, though a bit sore. Have a doc appt tomorrow just in case, but just wondering: for this kind of stuff, am I supposed to wait multiple weeks? Feels so bad not to be lifting though  Basically I kind of caught the bar with my wrists, so it got bent forward/sideways a bit, and it kinda hurts around the big round bone nub on the ulnar side. The pain is not like particularly high but yeah hope I haven't given myself a chronic injury asdlfkjasdklfj | ||

You can typically walk on a sprained ankle for instance as soon as the pain subsides enough to let you. And, importantly, the sprain typically heals in the same time or faster. My rule of thumb w sprains is to let the pain be your guide. Do what you can unless it is too painful to bear OR the pain is getting noticeably worse than baseline afterwards. Eccentric exercises are very useful for rehabbing tendons This. I pretty much try to minimize unuse after injury and it works out pretty well. | ||

Yeahh I'd also heard that you should keep stuff mobile (within reasonable pain/movement limitations) rather than just not move it at all -- I feel a lot better about my decision now, thanks!! I've been doing my workouts with wrist wraps and being careful, and definitely have been letting pain just be the guide. Overall my condition is definitely improving as well so I'll keep at it  | ||

I had to stop going to work for 5 months last year, my body wasn't working, I lost all my gains. But this year since I been on the diet, I healed a lot, am back to my job, and maybe soon I'll hit the gym again. Just thought I'd share with my fellow nerd bros who might have had bad diets and lifestyles like I used to. While googling this I heard so many alarm bells I feel like burning Kings Landing. | ||

I'm a fairly active ultimate player who started bouldering about a year ago as a side sport, so there is a good baseline level of fitness. My end goal for the next 6 months or so is to get my fitness level to a point where I could make practice/full roster for a low end club ultimate team(or at least feel like I'm competitive in tryouts fitness-wise. There isn't much I can do about brain). This last year has been pretty bad with around 1/3 of it spent recovering from some sort of serious injury, and I didn't change my diet much so I packed on a bit of weight. Some of it is muscle from bouldering, but I'm definitely more round than I have been ever before. Current goals are Cardio - Extra 1-2 hours a week. Whether this is cycling/rowing/running doesn't matter too much, This will be on top of the ~3-4 hours of ultimate(counts as HIIT). Squats(and jump training) - I recently started squatting again after a long several year hiatus(I've had bad knees for like 7-8 years now, meniscus tear, IT band sprains etc.), since I've been able to play braceless for about a year now. At body weight atm, but it's definitely back limited at the moment, which is completely unsurprising to me. Don't have a hard number target, just slowly going up as long as my knee(s) don't feel strange. End goal is to jump higher than I ever have before, but I guess touching a basketball rim would feel fucking amazing for a somebody who's 5'9 with shoes on. Weight - Drop 10lbs. Combination of eating healthier (less deep fried, more grilled), and doing more exercise. | ||
