I stuggled getting my deadlifts past 100kg, alot due to back issue but: Also poor cardio really hosed me hard. Slowly but steadyli climbing up the kilos now though.

I've been looking on Youtube for proper ways to curl. I can only do 45lbs dumbbells, but this guy is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl1XrHeG1WI How can I become strong like this guy? Please. I want to be pro. Also, id like to be able to make a face like his, preferably without an iron maiden og a baseball bat up my rear end.

I did squats today, first pyramid, then a negatives... Felt like my legs had been bulldozered. So I decided to do the only resonable thing you can in a situation like that: Go back for secounds when my gym mate asked if I wanted to lift... Yepp, Great idea. My legs feel like they are on loving fire. 5 hours later... Love it. :>

Benched 175lbs today, happy with that, trying to close in on 220lbs by the end of the year. Been training for 6months now. (From completely loving horrible untrained piece of sofa, not fat though). Feel I aint pushed myself hard enough in bench press earlier so gonna focus alot more on that now than before. Started training to recover poor health after getting some autoimmune disease crap from hell, it's helping quite abit, blood tests are better, I feel better - still struggle with energy and longer sessions, but atleast the joint loving pain is going away, less strain over time on the joints I guess due to supporting muscles... Pain now, so I dont become a total cripple at 50 :P

Any advice for "troublesome" left shoulder? Feels like I am getting some minor tears (well, duh- bigger than normal) which causes some pain, but not really limits my strength. First two reps of a set is worst, then its usualy better. I warm up with a empty barbell (20kg), no pain then. Shoulder rolls etc any good? It feels like the pain stems from the small bicep head.

Zahgaegun posted:Small bicep head? How did you come to that conclusion? It is where the pain comes from, or atleast where it feels like it comes from, it is always a specific spot. Doesn't match frozen shoulder symptoms.. The pain is completely gone the next day, or sometimes even hours after training. I've identified three specific excersices that seem to make it worse: Bench Press Bent Over Barbell Rows Latteral Pull Ups

Noticed a slight mistake in my benching, probably the cause of shoulder pain, tendency to angle it towards my face on heavy lifts towards the end. Fixed it now, should see some improvements in shoulder and weight I lift hopefuly. Shoulder was fine after last bench session. Oh, and 270 in deadlifts finaly, woho. But rather heavy on the hands, gonna buy some wraps.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:while on the topic of hands and deadlifting, what do you folks thing about hook grip? I have a minor case of carpal tunnel from my new job and sometimes my right wrist hurts when I double overhand. Supinated in a mix grip is fine but I prefer not to use it unless I have to, and hook grip totally eliminates the wrist pain for some reason. It's working fine so far, but I'm still at a pretty light weight(up to 225x5 so far since I started again). Not sure, I got carpal , slight myself, but I fought through the pain to begin with, barely notice it now. Cannot say if this is a good idea though, might be quite the oposite

Decided to try out calf raises again.. I found em boring since I never felt they gave me anything. (Standing, machine). Ended up doing 705lbs. Going for 880lbs next week... Calfs can take it easyli, no problem, but it's abit heavy on the back. It's strange, I never trained calfs in my life, save 1-2 months half a year ago, but it feels so drat easy. Advice for more effective calf training excercises? (or well, they might be effective for all I know, just dont feel it that much compared to other muscles).

DC kinda looks like the standing machine poo poo I am doing. I promise to not neglect calfs. I will try finding motivation in doing retarded numbers that impress people who don't know poo poo Be fun to break 1000lbs in something on a personal level too ofcourse. On that note what is an "impressive" calf raise (machine,standing)? Not exactly the excercise to measure your manbeast power in...

Impressive calves is what you should be seeking, not an impressive calf raise.

Now I am back being functional, less joint pain, less wear and tear.. gently caress if I am gonna be chained to a bed at 50 because I didn't wanna push through some pain now.

Think I might struggle to get enough protein naturaly through my diet. I do one protein shake after each training session usualy, but considering to up this to one in the morning, one after training... I prefer natural foods, but not always that easy to fit in. Also: gently caress my shoulder. Something weird with it again, no sharp pain though so will try to fight through it at the gym tomorrow and see what happends.

Dum Cumpster posted:Yeah just eat/lift more. I am thinking around ~125g @ 86kg (190lbs) - Guess my estimate was abit low. Breakfast for me is about 10-20g. Dinner around 30-40g "21:00" food around 20-30g. So Id say I am getting about 90g max without protein shakes. (Current shakes has 25g protein, whey+6.5g bcaa).

Now I suppose I have to start picking the heavy things up then putting them down. Happy to hear you are looking to get fit again IF you can afford a personal trainer for 2-3 sessions, or even one - that would probably go a very long way to help you do things right, bad form = injuries, and it aint that easy to do right without someone spotting you. Sitting overhead press is fine.

Rodenthar Drothman posted:Re: being super stiff - stretching is actually pretty important and people don't do it enough. Even just having one stretch day a week probably isn't enough. Watch some videos on stretching, then stretch a little bit before you work out every time (squatting? Stretch your legs! Lifting? Stretch your chest/arms!) Mm yeah, seen a few of those. Also- actualy identifying what works on different people is a huge part. poo poo that works on a Mr.Hulk Natural Talent #GeneticExperiment33 from Russia, probably doesn't work on a guy who's been sitting in front of his computer for 30 years... I dont think there is much that is more damaging than some idiot trying to push on you super massive weights when you cant even lift half of it "just to test". And in BAD form.
