I should just do functional training :trollface:


Post a video comparison of both. Your two problems, balance/power out of the whole are generally both related to core and stabilizer activation/strength. I find it easier in more upright positions (say a FS vs a LBBS) because you're in a more structurally vs muscularly supported position.

Shoulder is still confusing the fuck out of me. Pain is always in the same spot (where the biceps tendon attaches in the shoulder) but the cause constantly changes. First it was my subscap, I'd do some soft tissue work there and i'd be fine. Then it was back RC muscles. Then it was my pecs/pec minor/intercostals. Then yesterday it was my bicep tricep. Every time I do some soft tissue work in the problem area and it feels 91238074 times better. Hopefully I run out of problem areas :p

That makes a lot of sense, though I feel most powerful on deadlifts were my torso is most parallel to the ground.

For example, casually deadlifting 240 on saturday:



I think I'm just gonna give up on low bar squats for the time being, it's prolly better to focus all my energy on increasing my high bar squat.

Is it bad if I feel the need to use wrist wraps when I deadlift only 120kg ? I used to be fine without wraps but I never did more than 5 deadlift reps before. Now that I'm trying a program that makes me go beyond 5 reps, I can clearly feel that my wrists are causing trouble.

I barely did 6x120kg today and had to stop because I felt that my wrists couldn't handle more and I would have dropped the bar if I did one more rep. I'm pretty sure that if not for my wrists I could have done two more repetitions at least : my legs were still fine.

So I'm thinking about buying wraps but the problem is, 120kg is not a lot of weight and maybe it's a bad habit to take. What do you think ?

Even if I do buy wrist wraps, I'll have to train my wrists a bit more, that's for sure. Won't use the wraps unless I'm going for a max, and I guess I'll have to do wrist mobility/stretching every lifting session from now on.

Straps are fine so long as you keep pushing when they are needed. In other words, keep working those forearms and try some 90%+ reps without straps now and then to see where your grip is at.

I have the same problem, my forearms start to hurt like crazy way before anything else gets tired during deadlifts. There's always mixed grip doe.

Oh lol it was straps, not wraps.

Thank you for you answer, I will do as you said. I'll probably add a grip strength exercise to my weekly routine as well.

Edit : I am using mixed grip already. I feel like my problem might be linked to stamina as well ; I have been following the Texas Method for about 6 months and there is zero stamina involved in that program (that's why I liked it in the first place to be honest). Going above 5 reps feels hard to me. I don't know for sure though, maybe my wrists/forearms are just weak and I finally get to feel it.

When you say "wrists" do you mean fingers? If you grip is failing the bar should be prying your fingers open. I use straps as a matter of course on deadlifts over 400 lbs now because I hate mixed grip just for the sake of "training grip" and no way in hell am I going to bother training my grip to do double overhand for 10 reps at 405.

I rowed 5k again today. My goal was to go at an easy pace and focus on form, but it's really hard not to try and keep your pace below that 2:00 minute/500m mark. Rowing is hard man. I feel like quitting after a minute in.

Try changing the resistance up higher or lower depending on your stroke. I'm tall and lanky with strong legs so I do longer/higher resistance pulls. With your strength and a bit of conditioning you should be able to pull sub 2 min 500m for a while. Also, practice makes perfect...I'm about 23803x better than when I started and enjoy it equally more.

What I meant was that it's very tempting to keep your pace in the 1:50s even if you are trying to go at an "easy pace" and even though you hate every minute of it and don't know how you can last for another 15 minutes. But yeah. I might try to get a 2k sprint time later this week. I lengthened up my stroke considerably since last week.

So I'm thinking about being incredibly cheap and instead of buying new 35 pound dumbbells just taping on 2.5 lbs plates onto both sides of the 30 lbs dumbbells I already own. This would save me S&H as well as paying for 35 lbs dumbbells (which are gonna run me a minimum of $1/lbs), but I'm wondering if this is safe. I'd use duct tape and make sure that the plates are secure, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any idea of whether or not this a good idea.

If I wasn't going away to college next fall and wasn't already tight on space in my basement, I'd probably just drop the $75-85 on new dumbbells. But in this case I don't think it really makes sense to get two new dumbbells when I'm not even going to be at home in a few months anyway. The plates line up almost perfectly with the dumbbell's ends, so that's not an issue. Am I just being crazy or is this a semi-plausible idea?


My gym has these cool 2.5 lb magnetic weights that you can attack to dumbells or w/e. If you got some of those you'd only need 10-20-30-40 etc. Save half your dumbell costs

That's really sick actually. I'd have to see if they're cheap enough to make it worthwhile, otherwise I'd probably just get two pairs of 2.5 lb plates and duct tape them on. The magnets would be really cool though.

Edit: The PlateMate ones are ridiculous. They're like $42 for one pair. I'd be dropping $84 to avoid spending ~$75. Even though it'd save me money in the longer term if I had bought them right at the get-go, it doesn't save me any money to buy them now. Kind of a bummer.

Lol this is exactly my experience every time I try rowing.

You're supposed to look at her and say, "yeah, isn't my vascularity mind blowing?" as you flex.

LOL

My gf (nurse) said that to me while she was in school. She also really likes veins and is obsessed with my vascularity (even tho i'm really not even that cut)

If I drastically reduce the amount of calories I eat but still maintain my habits of drinking energy drinks/soda, can I lose weight that way?

Theoretically yes. However that means you will be consuming very little protein and high carbs so you will mostly loss muscle mass and feel like shit.

Drink coffee and diet soda, energy drinks are fucking poison if consumed regularly
