ADINSX posted:I'm still recovering from hurting my right bicep like 2 months ago from a mixed grip deadlift: This is why people tell you not to use mixed grip! I guess its possible to flex your bicep during the lift picking up way more weight than its designed to help with and the muscle can tear off the tendon, or something to that effect. yeesh i had never heard of that, i guess i’ll switch to overhand grip lol

been doing greyskull for like 3 months now, started to struggle with recovery and just got bored overall with the program so i figured it was time for a change. did my first day of barbell medicine bridge program and felt pretty good. excited to see where i’m at after the 12 weeks or whatever that it runs for. think after that i wanna start fuckin around with some olympic lifts. they look pretty fun and the explosiveness will probably transfer over to my vertical jump more than just grinding heavy squats have been so far

first week of barbell medicine bridge program down. i like the different squat variations, it keeps things different. the switch to lower weights but more volume feels much more sustainable too

DELETE CASCADE posted:perhaps it will help motivate you if i share my meager progress at stronglifts 5x5! this is over about 5 months. the noob gains are all exhausted now though so it's getting much harder to add weight on the bar. i am pretty fat at 5'9" 210lbs, not sure if that makes things easier or harder for me. while i do have previous experience lifting weights, i was never any good at it, i didn't do compound barbell movements, and it was almost 10 years ago. so i started with the bar and kept adding weight as the app instructed hey those are almost exactly my numbers! are you still on stronglifts? i switched from greyskull to a barbell medicine program that does more volume and introduces the concept of RPE and i've really enjoyed it

decided to give the barbell medicine powerbuilding template a try and despite the first week being labeled "low stress", day 1 crushed my legs (in my defense i'm coming into this after 2 weeks of no lifting, so i was expecting to feel a little rough). this looks like it'll be a fun program. from what i can tell, the rough idea is to focus strength on the big 3 lifts, then a bunch of volume on a mix of variations of those movements (e.g. RDL or incline bench) plus a different isolation exercise each day. it also incorporates myo-reps which i had never heard of but they sound cool

kinda hosed up my already relatively bad knee at volleyball last night. while it was pretty sore and stiff when i woke up, it got better during the day and i was able to deadlift and leg press with no issue. with how i landed it could have been way worse, so i’m pretty lucky even tho it still doesn’t feel great. getting old fuckin sucks, wtf

ADINSX posted:Well I hurt my back again deadlifting… I’ve been trying to stretch more since that injury last month and was really taking my time and focusing on my form. The strength is absolutely there, it was on my second set of 5 at 185 and I was maybe at like 70%, the first set (after a warmup set of 135 and stretching) felt good, but on rep 3 of the second set I could feel my back spasm and round out of nowhere and here we are…. sorry about your back op, hope it heals quickly! is there a specific reason you’re training deadlift? maybe a different variant or exercise altogether will still target your hams without as much stress on your back. it’s an awesome exercise but it generates an insane amount of fatigue

had to bail halfway through my workout today after i started getting some gnarly shoulder pain that i haven’t felt before. wasn’t even doing anything cool, just high rep db bench press with light weight. that was an hour ago and it feels pretty much fine now, so i’m guessing maybe shoulder impingement and i need to fix my form a little? i was pretty fatigued by the time i started and i was struggling to keep a consistent width between the dumbbells

my knee has been bothering me so i decided to swap my normal squats out for hack squats to see if it helps and good lord my quads are fried. we’ll see how my knee feels in the morning but assuming it feels ok i might just do hack squats for the foreseeable future

this week is a deload week and i know it's good to program these in, but man it feels like such a waste of time when i'm doing these lifts at such a low intensity on the bright side, my knee feels great after swapping out back squats with the hack squat machine. friendship ended with back squat, now hack squat is my best friend

saw a personal trainer at my gym doing incline db bench with the smallest ROM i’ve ever seen followed by using one of only two squat racks to do curls (cheating on every rep of course). good to know that’s always an option for a career change since apparently they’ll let anybody be a trainer

decided to shuffle my workouts around a little this week and try something different. i’m still doing a 4 day per week upper/lower split, but i’m doing biceps and triceps MWF to up the frequency a bit. wednesday is exclusively arms, so i can really pile on some volume. i feel like i’m recovering well, i just need to move some lifts around to different days to account for my triceps being a little fatigued still
