I didnt quite manage to finish up all my sets (I missed a few incline bench press reps), but I didn't have to go down on any weights. I think over the next two weeks I should be able to get back to where I was, and then really push for improvement in December But really, just happy to be mostly pain free and back in the gym.ps. interesting read Eshlow, very illuminating. | ||

My backs been getting sore when I do crunches on the crunch machines (with the arm rest handles). I have been trying to apply a lot of force near the top of the crunch and that may have stressed my lower back. I tried to squat after 3 weeks of sore knee-induced leg presses, and my back just said no, not lifting that. Now there's this fiery pain in my lower back when I walk down stairs, sit wrong, etc. I didn't think you could hurt your back doing crunches. | ||

It has an interesting argument about how humans evolved for barefoot long distance running rather than just walking. It's a really good read and the plot just sucks you in. | ||

Now that I am aware of it, doing exercises and am generally mindful, I have nowhere near the difficulties. @ Eshlow, i won't do push presses any more (due to the shoulder pains when lifting above shoudler height), so I want to go back to doing lateral raises with the barbell. is there any other exercise I should add to help complete that element of the workout? | ||

I have also been told I need to look at my posture when sitting and standing - my shoulders slump forward, and that puts a lot of pressure on my back throughout the day, which is what eventually caused my back and shoulder problems.

You two are probably in the same boat. Most of the time if you have mostly pressing exercises you start to develop imbalances. I would start doing more rowing work.. especially horizontal rowing (bent over rows, one arm DB rows, cable rows, concept 2 rowing, etc. (except upright rows as those aren't rows), and even add a bit of external rotation work such as the middle part of the cuban press or side lying external rotation. Pull the scapulas back, and elbow back as far as you can. Should help bring up the imbalances. igotmyown: If the hip flexors are involved, which is what happens with a lot of exercises, they can cause lower back pain. This is because the psoas major and minor have origins on the lumbar spine. So if you're contracting really hard and it's hurting it's because these muscles are pulling on your lumbar spine. Find other abs exercises that don't do this. If you are having pain in everyday lift it may be good to get it checked out by an ortho. Not good to play around with your back. It may be symptomatic of improperly executed squats as well though. I haven't seen your technique so I don't know.

Yeah, I've heard good things about that book. I'll try to see if it's at the library. I don't like buying stuff. :p On November 23 2009 19:33 unknown.sam wrote: no wonder you know so much about exercises btw quick question about knee exercises. suppose i wanted to strengthen muscles related to the knee i.e. hams/quads/calf etc and my program looked like this (my physio told me to do these exercises): 3x10 one legged half-squats 3x10 one legged calf raises 3x10 straight leg raises 3x10 one legged half-squats then calf raise (duno what it's called but i was told it works the gastro) 3x10 leg curls 3x10 lunges is this too much volume or are there exercises that i should also add to my program?? Looks ok. Personally, if you're not injured I'd go with the properly executed squats and deadlifts. Maybe add in some front squats if you need a bit more quads work. Most of that stuff is very good especially if you're rehabbing. But if you're not it's not going to add any significant musculature or strength compared to the compound barbell exercises. | ||

If not, carry on. http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/11/shoes-sitting-and-lower-body-dysfunctions/ Thanks for the link. although I only skimmed through it, I still got a lot of information out of it. One question though, what do you suggest I should do about excessive sitting, considering that I work at a desk for a living? Also, it turns out that I have tricep tendonitis, so it's difficult for me to do benches or other big pressing exercises without irritating it. Do you have any recommendations for exercises to rehab it? | ||

Do you have any recommendations for exercises to rehab it? I am getting to that in due time. Parts 1 & 2 are up right now.. I cover more corrections stuff in 3 and 4. Also, for tendonitis I wrote an article for that too. http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2009/08/on-tendonitis/ | ||

In 2 weeks from now, Im going on a 24km hike (3/4+ uphill) with a "light" backpack. Im wondering what you guys suggest as far as preparation for the week before. Im definately not doing squats that week but I'm wondering if doing my weekly jogging would be a good or bad thing. Besides that, suggestion as to what to bring in my backpack are welcome Last time I did the uphill 24km this past summer (on a very hot, sunny day, mind you) I only brought 2 energy bars and a litre of water and when I arrived at the camp, I was severely dehydrated and my right leg could'nt bend for 2 hours because of the cramps all this walking gave me. I'm planning on bringing a little more fluids, 2 litre of gatorade prolly and maybe also some tomato juice, 1 or 2 fruits and the usual 2 energy bars. Dont wanna bring too much though , suggestions are welcome :D | ||
