Killing Loaf posted:The science of shoulder impingement. It's not what you think. i studied rotator cuff injuries in the early 2000s and personally collected data on maybe 500 subacromial decompressions over 4 years so seeing this new research now is really cool! i cant remember if any got published on this sinice we focused on arthplasty mostly in the elderly and what fizfishazzle said is pretty spot on about orthopaedics, at least from how I saw it working in the industry

I never heard of the whole "extra bones in the shoulder" form of impingement, maybe it's a US thing? I just thought shoulder impingement was pinching stuff in your shoulder due to bad exercises and/or form

I pissed off my low back doing conventional deadlifts back in July. I tried just dropping the weight for a while then switched to trap bar for the past couple months but haven't gone much over 200 lbs with either. Today I finally gave sumo a shot and it felt great! I worked up to 290 for a double which is significantly heavier than even my old e1RM from using the trap bar. My back is feeling a lot better than it usually does after deadlift day too.  I'm gonna be so drat sore tomorrow.

Coach seems ok with it. Going from that to the weight class below 109... gently caress no. It's in two months. I'm finishing up the first cycle of a 12wk pre-comp program so I should be good to go hit a total.

This means that the longer pain lingers, the more the traditional model falls short. There are countless patients with debilitating symptoms from fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, chronic back pain, or prior sexual/physical abuse who have undergone numerous examinations, MRIs, and laparoscopies with no evidence of structural pathology or tissue injury. There are many more walking around with objective radiographic evidence of severe osteoarthritis and herniated discs who have no symptoms whatsoever. For years these sorts of patients left physicians, neuroscientists, and therapists baffled and frustrated. How is it possible?

You mean like a program? I will always shill Average to Savage as a general get stronger and bigger program(although if you're pretty new there may be better programs but I think you can still run AtS according to Nuckols iirc). It's a little like 5/3/1 in that it's mostly a progression scheme, so a lot of stuff to play around with and tweak to your liking. Also Nuckols has a spreadsheet full of free programs(AtS is only 10 bucks though, worth it) and those programs all go from beginner to advanced, so plenty to choose from. Also I hit 105x10 on my 8+ OHP set, I do believe pin presses are getting me stronger in that top end range around my forehead where things always go to hell. Also I can hit 135 as an overwarm single now too(as in without it grinding/ruining my work sets) which owns so I get to press a plate over my head every session now.

Didn't you start like 1-2 weeks ahead of me? Why are you back to the high reps? Did you only run 3 blocks and reset (which I hear is a popular thing to do)?

When did you start it? Because a while back I started it, ran like 1 block? Or maybe 2? and then got greedy for more bench gains and jumped on Nuckols 3x bench program and ran that for a block and I didn't like benching 3x a week. So I hopped back on AtS at the beginning and just finished up block 1 this week. And yeah I'm probably just going to run the first 3 blocks. The very first time I ran it I did the full thing and the 4th block didn't do much for me even in terms of peaking strength, probably because I always do my heavy singles before my work sets to begin with.

Okay that explains it. I thought you were doing some weird hybrid AtS but with all of the extra benching. I don't think the 4th block is so hot for my goals right now either, but since it's the first time doing the program I want to run through it completely.

Yes that's Average to Savage. The other thing DDD is talking about is this: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/train-smarter/ 28 (free) programs that go from 1x/wk beginner/intermediate/advanced to 3x/wk beginner/intermediate/advanced for each of bench,squat, and deadlift. They're good to run as a piece of a larger program to bring up specific lifts.

I don’t know what it is with my physiology, but I did some testing today with the plate loaded leg press, and while I can only get up to about 80kg (176lbs) for squats before things start to feel really off and I get light headed and weirdly anxious, I did 8 reps of leg press at 250kg (550lbs) no problem. I guess the question is whether my squat just really really sucks, or I’m doing something weird on the leg press.

I'm sure I can find something good here. 12 weeks is enough to run the first 3 AtS blocks which is the main part of the program anyway(It comes as 4, 4 week blocks but the last block is a heavy sort of peaking style thing that most people don't run unless they want to test their maxes/compete) . Nuckols deserves your 10 bux, definitely more than Lowtax.

Speaking of squats, I just blew my record out and then some by hitting 270 x 10 on my 1+ max set. That's great for me and all, as prior to today I'd never even loaded that much onto a bar for a squat set. Problem is that I've been averaging 5 hours of sleep a night and just got way less last night because I had to take my wife to the airport at 4 am and was like "gently caress it I'm up, just go to the gym." It was a good clean deliberate set, tough but fair, and then I got lightheaded and missed a pin on the re rack. I got it into place right before I felt like I was going to hit a point of no return, shaking a bunch and losing control on my left wrist a little. I had the safeties up but it was still scary, and I'm pretty sure I tweaked an erector (lol) so I'm going to be sore as heck soon. tl;dr get your 8 hours boys and girls

I have DOMs for the first time in a long time. I've been struggling to get to the gym due to road conditions and medical stuff. But holy poo poo, 2 days after lifting and it kicked in hard. I guess it had been 2 weeks since I leg pressed, 9-10 days since squatting, and my quads are on fire now. I struggled to get out of bed. The leg press did me in.
