Nice work on the deadlift PR a few posts up man. I agree with the poster a couple of pages ago who said you have a good base structure for bodybuilding. Keep up that eating!!! I become more of a rectangle than a V, personally! Haha[/quote]

Thanks PanzerFaust :slight_smile:

Your rectangle shape are probably alot more helpfull for moving big numbers in the squat, than my ā€œv-shapeā€ that only exist because my waist belongs to a 5year old girl LOL. Thanks though for the compliment, appreciate it :wink:

Thanks mustangwrestling :slight_smile:

Yes the kneeling leg curl is a hammer-strenght machine. This is the second time I tried it, but must say its a fine piece of equipment and it hit the hams and also the calves rather well.

444

Awesome man I love the hammer strength stuff my current gym and my school gym have the cybex stuff which is crap other than the seated leg curl, which I really like.

Yes HS machines seems solid, but most of the machines are lifefitness I thing, they arent that good. Still a barbell and dumbells beats any machine every time in my opinion, except for stuff like legcurls etc wich are difficult to do without machines.

Yhea things where going good up to this week. Its my last week in Bergen, so its alot of other stuff that have occupied my time. I will have to look at it as a forced deload week.
Next week I hope to be able to get a couple of workouts in back home in eastern norway.

450

I have been sick for 5 days now( this is the fifth day ) and my bodyweight have dropped down to 59,3kg :frowning:
I hope that it will get back up where it was when I get well.

451

Damn sick again? Do you work in a microbiology lab part time or what? Oh well bumps in the road happen. Get better and try not to hesitate to do some work when youā€™re truly over it.

The weight loss happens. I dropped slightly over 10 lbs. a couple years ago when I was last sick. I didnā€™t eat much and had to fight the stay hydrated. When it was over (lasted about seven days) everything came back after a few days in the gym.

It would be a shame to let those PRs wither away. Good job on bench and dead lift PRs.

Did you lose the Macgayverish hair yet?

No I dont work in a microbiology lab haha. ( Its a while since I was sick the last time if I remember correctly ).

I have been working this weekend while sick and my appetit have been non-existent, so I guess that explanes the weight loss. I am going back to the Oslo area today and have acess to a weight set, so I should be able to hit some workouts in the summer, so I hope that will atleast maintain the strenght I have gained this semester. ( its no rack and to little weights to follow the progression in deads, but I can atleast keep up with the progression in bench and press )

thanks btw and yes I have cut the hair, it was about time because it looked like shit( according to my friends and my girlfriend )

ps. Havent seen you here at T-Nation for a while, have you been busy with your exams?

453

Working while sick is the absolute shittiest.

Itā€™s good that youā€™ll be able to hit a few movements with your weight set. Do you plan on doing something about dead lifting? Since the weight is limited you canā€™t progress with increasing weight but you could go for rep PRs each week. Depends on your work out space and how comfortable you are doing what Iā€™m sure would be high rep deads. Sprints work well as a back up for lower body work when squats and dead lifts arenā€™t available also. Single leg squats, lunges, etc. I donā€™t know Iā€™d just hate to see insufficient lower body work when squats are already one of your weaker points. Just some ideas.

Harsh criticism from friends lol. I guess youā€™ll always be in style.

For myself the opposite has been true actually. Havenā€™t had classes in a month. My time is used up by eating, lifting, drinking, working, and other social stuff. Iā€™m doing more of each and leads to internet droughts.

454

Just chiming in with Good Mornings as an excellent way to keep the hamstrings, glutes and lower back in motion. If youā€™ve no rack, clean the bar. Or use a heavy dumbbell clutched against your chest. I love Good Mornings for sets of 10-15

Yhea working while sick sucks big time LOL.

For leg work I was thinking RDL`s, light squats and upphill sprints( my familys yard/garden is upphill ). I need to do something cause as you said my squats sucks balls.
( I hate squats btw haha ).

Yhea especially one of my friend is quick to give me criticism, but offcourse it is to help me be a better version of myself, or so he says LOL, but seriously the hair needed to go and I did agree with them on it.

Your last month sounds like mine right before I got sick, except I am addicted to this place and probably spend way to much time here regardless of how busy I am in my real life :slight_smile:

I prefer good mornings, but if you have no squat rack, RDLs would be much easier to do and still target much the same area =)

ā€¦or even better, do both! Haha.
