Notes:
First workout at Elite (I’m in love lol)
Everything moved suspiciously well today.
Press felt strong.
May have seen a familiar name on the leader board
Special dead lift note:
I pull with a rounded upper back (not lower), I set up like that and I continue the pull like that.
I’ve always focused on pulling my lats into my front pocket and to get down to the bar my shoulders roll slightly forward
Best description i can give is it looks kinda like Pete Rubish dead lifting.
Its either life long poor mobility or morphology.
I don’t really see a problem with it but I get self conscious about it when ever it gets brought up.
Been second guessing my form on everything lately, its not good.
Have a google/YouTube of it. Many consider it not only safe to round your upper back but that it is mechanically advantageous to do so. If it really bothers you it’ll take quite some time and effort to switch to flat back pulling.
Who dafuq is that? I think you mean Konstantin Konstantinovs
Saturday special: Training with the old man
Missed Thursday workout (flew into Melbourne), got some dental work done Friday.
Location: Dohertys Dandenong
Accessory:
Close grip pullups (30s rest) 3x10-8 @ BW
Log clean and press
Atlas stone lifts
Yoke walks
Tyre flips
Farmers walks
Notes:
Sleeps been pretty bad, think I got just under 6 hours last night.
Might re-introduce a belt to deadlifts seeing as I’ve been pulling heavier and more often recently .
Had a blast messing around with strong man equipment, no real idea how much anything weighed though. @guineapig was going to check out Derrimut Gym but the closest one was in Pakenham (to far from me lol)
Accessory:
Pause squats: 4x3 @ 150,160,170,180Kg
Close grip pull ups: 5x5 @ BW,5,10,15,20Kg
Good mornings: 2x20 @ 60,80KG
Face pulls and lateral raises
Notes:
Workout felt sub par but everything moved alright.
I’m going to put it down to clambering around on a roof at work all day.
music was on point at the gym, didn’t even bother putting my headphones on
