    Barbel squats = painful

    If you can do BTN presses you can get a bar into position for squats.. I can't even press from behind the neck.

    Barbel squats = painful

    I can't believe that anyone would have problems with shoulder flexibility if I don't have problems with it... I've had 7 shoulder reconstructions (and Bristow procedure on both sides) and can still just manage to get my arms around enough, but I do need to have the bar pretty high.. Really need...

    Which machines are necessary in your workout routine?

    Only machine I use in my garage gym is an electric fan. Stupid old school metal blade fan has taken more blood than my deadlift bar. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

    In test cricket if the team batting first is the favorite but has a crap first innings it's often worth a flutter before the second team bats. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

    I like this idea, will have to remember it for the future. Workout B looks like a good one for a bit of shoulder bulk.

    I reckon that's good advice, but I'll to stick with what I'm doing for now. Might change to SLDL once I hit a wall with the normal deads.

    Yeah, deadlifts last or just before the curls could be good. Think I might need to put a spew bucket in the garage/gym. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

    So it took three workouts for me to get used to the workload of this workout and not feel like I was going to die. I've adapted the order in which I perform the exercises. Squat Bench Deadlift OHP Row Curl Suits me best in terms of recovery between exercises. Also need to take a decent break...

    Personally I'm just not used to doing more than 5 reps on squats or deadlifts except for warmups or doing tabata thrusters with comparatively light weight. I will not increase weight on anything I can't get the specified reps and sets out with good form. I'm particularly careful with form for...

    Yeah, I understand. I'm just really enjoying it though! Next workout is planned for Sunday. I've been terrible in the past at working out on the weekend, so this will be a good test of my commitment. The fact that I'm trying to drink less booze should help. Can't work out on Fridays or...

    Well I kinda enjoy the pain. Though the headache wasn't nice.. I'm pretty sure it's a general sort of fitness thing, related to blood circulation rather than CNS fatigue. Last night I may not have had enough rest because my training partner was in a bit of a hurry.. He was doing two sets to my...

    This is so much harder than any other routines I've done. Doing 5x5 or 3x5 with as much weight as I can handle just doesn't affect me like this routine does.. I've really struggled to finish my first two workouts so far.. Felt incredibly sick from the first one. Had to keep going outside...

    Angle of foot for squatting?

    Angle of foot for squatting?

    I just make sure my stance is wide enough to get my arse between my ankles. Find that the more I turn my feet out the more it engages my hammies, so I probably have about a 20° angle. I feel like more angle would help me squat with a more upright body, but I wouldn't get as deep... not sure what...

    I have just started this routine. Quite new to lifting, have dabbled a bit over the years but regular injuries have prevented me from sticking to it. Was lifting for 2 months before Christmas on a bit of a 3x5 based programme. Unfortunately the 2 week break while away over christmas, plus the...
