you will see a huge miss match between my DL and SQUAT due to a disc problem[/quote]
I’ve never had a “serious” back injury thankfully, but in 20 yrs of lifting I don’t think I’ve ever injured my back squatting. Whereas deadlifting and overhead pressing I must have injured it dozens of times.
Have you checked out HEL320’s log? He’s a big strong guy who also swims alot.
I’ll have to check out his log.
Workout
DB Press 100#'s 2X10
Zpress 135X10,155X8 175X4 195X1
BP worked 225X10 245X4 285X3 305X1 315X1 Shoulder sore in a bad way stopped there felt like I could do more
Curls Cheaters to get stronger at log pressing almost a dynamic move 135X10 155X10 175X4 195X4
BW Dips 15,10,7
Chin ups 8,4 nothing left to quick of a pace need to slow down the workouts.
Workout over after tweeked back during dead lift warmup , only had 365 on the bar, doing a set of four. Don’t know how long I willl be out.
Ahh, tweaking sucks, the wife always goes nuts when I say something like that. Get better, and back at it soon, bro.
Thanks Ogre, feeling better, can touch my toes now with some pain, was warming up for a 4RM will post the set prior at 315X4 then went to 365 and on the 3rd rep broke form and had something give out , immediate pain. crawled over to camera only to find it hadn’t recorded it anyway. Taking t-3’s for pain 1-2 a day and 400mg ibuprofen twice a day, I hate taking meds,
That sounds like a proper injury to me. IMO you can usually work around a “tweak”. Don’t fret on the meds, if they get you back sooner then that can only be a good thing.
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
warm up with 315 was trying to save some for 405 RM
First Workout since injury , left back alone
BP warm up finished with 285 4,3,3,3
curls preacher keeping back relaxed 75 8,8,8
machine rows (I had no use for this machine 2 weeks ago now it takes all the preasure off your back so its in)
tri pull downs 8,8,8
Squat with bar 4
Don’t know if it was the drugs or pain but I was sweating way to hard after this short workout.
Hey…welcome.
Just a quick comment on your DL video. I notice that you lead with your ass when starting the pull off the floor (ass comes up first, then shoulders). This puts your low back in a compromised position and at heavier weight that is going to be a problem.
Concentrate on squatting the weight off the floor with hips and shoulders coming up in unison.
Hey welcome to old meat head land.
Nice work so far, I would agree with git and suggest that you sit back and 'squat ’ the weight up
are you still looking for complexes for the P-chain?
I would do with a barbell 3 or 4x8
RDL
zercher squat
zecher lunge
power clean
OH squat
Thanks Guys I really do need to sit back and squat it up, I new my form sucked on DL but on video it terrible in the frame by frame. Almost like I was doing some kind of bent row conflageration. Thanks for the complex I will give it a try in a week or two. Thanks again for the input.
Welcome aboard, I am suprised you have not been threatened yet with the 5/3/1 or being eaten bit.
Keep up the good work.
DJHT 5/3/1 I have to admit I’ve never done it, Did do westside for a while after doing crossfit, but actually had bigger gains sticking with (Odd Haugens) type of program. Also have several oly lifters (old school) that help me out from time to time. One of them (Bruno) is freakish 65yo+ and up til a year ago could mili over 300# seated.
Recover well.
Elaikases hoping for a working recovery,I think (possible denial) the pain is all inflamation. Hence I hope to stay away from the lifts that aggravate the pain for 2 more weeks roughly.

Rehab sucks, thought’s of how the hell did I get here crop up every few minutes.
Something about your DL video . . . almost looks like you’re rocking a bit rather than nice and tight.
I, too, have hurt myself DLing. But never squatting.
