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. | ||

https://instagram.com/p/0B_55cwCJ6 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Nursing student says to you/her friend "Wow, we should have used his arm and shoulder to study the muscles instead of the plastic model" TL'HF un-win: Her friend says "Yeah, and for veins too. You're so pale" | ||

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 | ||
