Eldred posted:What's hurting exactly on the squat or deadlift? Like, does it hurt on extension? I'm not good at explaining these sorts of things. It's like, I'll get squatted down, and as soon as I start moving back up, I'll feel pressure in my lower back, almost to the point where it would hurt. Then after a few reps, I'll put the bar away and I'll feel it for the rest of the morning. I typically start with squats, and end with deadlifts. I've been trying to lift a lot less on deadlifts when this happens but recently I've just given up on either. I'll try to just do the low weight stuff you suggested and wait a couple weeks. Just kinda sucks because I just started lifting recently and I'm eager to keep what results I've gotten so far and improve.

You'll be fine, learning not to hurt yourself is just part of the process. Better to learn that lesson early on.

Keep your feet at an angle so that when the arm holding said db is hanging perpendicular to the ground so it is free of obstuction from your leg/hip. It was me, and i got owned when i saw someone doing it literally the next day (and posted about my gigantic self-own).

He said I could basically go back to doing squats as soon as I wanted as long as it didn't hurt to squat. The tweak made it super loving tight though, I had to spend like 6 days constantly stretching to get it to go back to normal. Have you tried stretching? Glute stuff,it band, hamstrings, yoga poo poo like cat/cat, child's pose, etc etc etc.

Just to add to the annecdotes, my backproblems probably came from having a thight piriformis in my rear end that caused issued on the sciatic nerve. So maybe look farther then just the lower back area.

sassassin posted:If you can't press your bodyweight you're fat, weak or both. This is like one of those math problems. x * 2 = liftable x * 1 = no bench x * 1 = no chin In 1 year of training bench is probably bigger than 180 x is > 180 but a 460lb deadlift is not really something you hit in a year of training x is < 230 180 is a doable chin weight after a year of training x is > 200 probably Khorne fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Jun 30, 2017 |

I remember when everyone would give people poo poo in the exercise forum for ever advocating use of the smith machine in anyway. As if using it would both injure you while also doing nothing for muscle growth.

I meant it more as "my bench is disproportionately weaker than my row" than "I can row 1x bw for reps, milestone!!".

Dom is at his best as a foil to Bradley Martyn (eg. Bros Vs) because bizarrely enough Brad plays a really good comedic straight man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP0bKYvc4Zk
