Good. I like how close the race is. It's more fun this way.

^ Ya, right now you are literally a week or two's work away.

^ Ya, right now you are literally a week or two's work away.

I'm going to continue improving. So think it'll stay that way, sir.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

Did you order that belt Jake provided the link for? How do you feel squating belted?

 

[miaou]

^ that's good for you, kid.

I'll just make sure to improve at a faster pace.

Yeah, I did. I feel safer, and I feel like I'm actually using my "core". Another thing, When I'm squatting beltless my sticking point is different.

God damn cripples.


Anyhoo, I fucked up something. It's minor. However, I had to train around it, thus I couldn't back squat.

There's no pain while frontsquatting. Pretty easy.

285lbx3 on FS? Good shit mang.

 

[miaou]

Nice front schvatz.

You should focus more on these (at the expense of your back squats, of course).

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

What did you "fuck up"?

 

[belph]

What did you "fuck up"?

No clue. I'm thinking it's my groin, but occasionally I feel the pain elsewhere.

285lbx3 on FS? Good shit mang.

Thanks.

I'm scared Belph might actually win.

Fixed.


Pressing later today.

 

[Aleks Sytsevich]

No clue. I'm thinking it's my groin, but occasionally I feel the pain elsewhere.

Where else do you feel pain?

 

[belph]

Where else do you feel pain?

Groin,glute and to an extent hamstring. Its better than yesterday so I'm optimistic.,

Press
110x5
130x5
144x5 ( it flew, so I self adjusted.)
150 4x5

I pulled my sled, I wanted to get some blood flowing.

 

[miaou]

Is that an actual injury, a spasm, or just pretty bad DOMS?

How did you get it?

I think a spasm. It's preventing me from backsquatting but it's feeling better, so we'll see.



Dunno how I got it. I did quite a bit that day, IIRC.

 

[TheeFaulted]

I know how you feel, I just pulled something in my back Saturday. What are you doing for your injury?

 

[belph]

I know how you feel, I just pulled something in my back Saturday. What are you doing for your injury?

Nothing really. Just relaxing and trying to avoid anything too strenuous. I'm thinking about occupying my friends hot-tub to see if that will help. What about you ?

Damn, groin, glute and ham is quite a big area for a spasm. With spasms you can try to do light static stretching (don't go heavy on it, you might end up pulling something because when the muscle is in spasm it has almost zero give), some light ART or just trigger point therapy (just apply pressure to the tight/painful point for a minute or so, again go light with it and don't expect immediate significant results), and light continuous contractions in the non-painful ROM. Allow a few days for it to ease out and don't push it in training (worst case you will end up with a muscle tear, best case it will tighten up again and prolong rehab time). Or maybe it is just bad DOMs and you are a pussy (what are the symptoms?).

Can you front squat with no issues?

Hope it gets better soon. Need you progressing in your back squat for my motivation, kid.

A whole lot of pain. The pain only occurs when I'm in the hole of a backsquat, though. Which is strange, because I had no problem front-squatting. Which should answer your next question.

Can you front squat with no issues?

Yeah. I also tried Good Mornings and no problems occurred. Except for DOMS in my hamstrings and lowerback.

Hope it gets better soon. Need you progressing in your back squat for my motivation, kid.

Appreciate it, sir.
