Work on your setup for both squats and deadlift. On the other hand if you still insist on the weights, you need to get tight on your deadlifts, and try not to face the mirror during both squattng and deadlift. Deadlift away from the mirror. Try not to look at the mirror while squatting, it fs up your form because you tend to keep your head tilted slightly down and thats why you look like you are getting crushed after every rep. More assistance work, cable row, barbell rows, dumbbell rows, shrugs etc I'll post a few sequential shots of a deadlift. Notice that my hips are relatively high for a start but I keep my hips from extending excessively throughout the movement. Some people have a lower setup, as long as you dont extend your hips too fast during the movement, it should be fine. Again, you need to start off from scratch on your Deadlift. You might get away with 127.5 since it still isn't heavy, but when you hit 180, you'd know what i mean. Lockout has to improve as well,you have a power rack, do rack lockouts. My form isn't the most perfect form but it might be worthwhile for you to take a look at. Most importantly when you see the photos, look at my stance. Yours is a tad too wide for a conv deadlift because you don't look like you are pulling sumo btw. I'm about 71-72kg btw. This post has been edited by shanecross**: Nov 2 2009, 02:04 PM

Informal. to resign from; relinquish; give up: He's chucked his job. 3. to pat or tap lightly, as under the chin. 4. Informal. to eject (a person) from a public place (often fol. by out): They chucked him from the bar. 5. Slang. to vomit; upchuck. Chucks = Converse or "Converse like shoes". It is grammatically incorrect if I were to say " Get rid of your chucks " that carries the meaning of your quote. This post has been edited by shanecross: Oct 25 2009, 04:42 PM

Can anyone give me advice???? You need to eat 3 slices of tomatoes, 1 bowl of lettuce , and a 50g of chicken breast. Too much protein will spoil your kidneys. Only eat 2 times a day. Do as much cardio as you can.

I think alot of us know how important stretching is generally...but we are just too lazy to do foam rolling and shit because not all gyms have stuff like that...well not that I know off..maybe Fitness First?

If its foam rolling...you can get it from fitness stores..not that exp i think..after all its just compressed foam with some density....

The Vibrator Senior Member 1,885 posts Joined: Dec 2007 From: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia	I reckon there is a stronger correlation between injuries and bad posture/form compared to injuries and not-stretching. However...... QUOTE Nevertheless, there were limitations in the studies showing a negative association between stretching and strength and between flexibility and economy of movement. Moreover, other research fails to consistently demonstrate either the association of stretching with decreases in strength (Laroche & Connolly) or of a relationship of inflexibility with better running economy (Nelson et al., 2001). Accordingly, it is premature to recommend that jumping and running athletes should never stretch before exercise. Source Being said that, I think stuffs like the scapular stabilization might work for me since I am having some bench issues and trouble packing some pectoral muscles... hmmmm....

The Vibrator Senior Member 1,885 posts Joined: Dec 2007 From: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia	QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Nov 2 2009, 10:52 PM) Can't your coach do anything about it even till today? Well, he made a clear cut statement to me, so did Nathan who apparently holds the SHW record for BP. He said, it might be worthwhile getting a physio to check but I reckon that there is nothing serious about it and it usually gets better as you train, although there might be a slight interruption during training, its not something that you can't overcome by packing more muscles, therefore more muscle fibers which results into more powahhh!. The main issue I have is I get wiped out real quick, regardless of the volume I'm doing like a 4-5x8 bench, dips, incline db etc. I decided to break it to 2 days, so I can get more work in. So other than my left being the weak arm, its more on working on the fatigue. And I need to commit to bench as much as I commit to deadlifts and squats or more. Oh, btw thought of getting the boys together and having a bbq. Let me know when you are free...this time it's pre cooked or something, more steaks/flank etc...yeah buddy !

The Vibrator Senior Member 1,885 posts Joined: Dec 2007 From: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia	QUOTE(ken86 @ Nov 2 2009, 11:24 PM) 5/3/1 is easy to understand and implement. Honestly, with all the infos and training logs floating around the internet, it's not hard to figure what's inside the book. I find soft tissue work ( foam rolling/tennis ball or lacrosse ball or golf balls ) help clear up knots and trigger points in muscle/fascia as well as adhesions in connective tissues. There's no need for any fancy foam roller, just get a 6 inch diameter pipe, apply some adhesive and wrap it with yoga mat(If you can tolerate pain, forget bout the yoga mat, just use the PVC pipe straight!) I can see why static stretching gets a bad rap, however I find that simple stretches - hip flexor stretch, RF/TFL stretch, Sleeper stretch helps improve range of motion and improves structural imbalances. " Several massage therapists I’ve talked to have noticed decreased adhesion formation and decreases in muscle tone after their clients started incorporating more static stretching into their programs as well." by Mike Robertson. However, that's no research to suppose his claim though. Added on November 2, 2009, 10:29 pmpizzaboy, I've been an avid follower of your olympic lifts (GREAT STUFFS !), do let me know when you are dropping by pushmore !! shanecross, how's the diet going? i know it;s imperative to correct structural imbalances, but sometimes a good and sound nutrition does wonders to muscle gains btw what scapular stabilization work do you advocate ? I just finished my undergrad studies in melbourne, miss the powerlifting club there Diet is OK. not perfect. I need to definitely eat more and push more weights. Nutrition is a little critical on me, but I'm trying to get some protein shakes at night. I technically get hungry like a dic* around 2-4 in the morning and stuff but i'll manage. And being in Rockhampton also known as RockVegas is where people train hard for deadlifts , but there are good bench pressers here as well. Hoping to compete next year with a 100 opener , ill be super happy. Not putting my expectations too high, as long as I can remain competitive for next year. We could have a chat via PM, better.

Let's keep it between beef and lamb. I'll prepare the beef. I'm pretty good at it I'm always the better cook in a way ( but if you want to prepare the beef, something good is coming i reckon ), hahahah.. i wanted to try this soy marinated flank steaks, probably I'll do that during the bbq. As long as you guys are willing to chip in more cash, i'll be willing to even prepare glazed pork (christmas style) for my hungry friends. I'll call MR T when I get back to see when is he free.. maybe next week would be good. See you soon. This post has been edited by shanecross: Nov 2 2009, 11:22 PM

The Vibrator Senior Member 1,885 posts Joined: Dec 2007 From: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia	QUOTE(JonYeap @ Nov 11 2009, 02:40 AM) i wanna screw myself up. damn damn damn... wtf is wrong with my bench press! i am even struggling at 90kg! wtf sial... squat 150kg, deadlift 180kg, but bench? 90kg? wtf is that man... is it my stupid chest is all fats or wat, i also dunno. hahaha... no idea wat to do. so screw it la... =.= More accessory work will improve bench pressing, eg; cable rows, DB inclines. Don't get too hard on yourself, on the other hand you need to remain vigilant and have a positive mindset while giving equal amount of effort to your benching as to your squats and deadlift. I face the same problem too, so now I'm addressing it by putting in 2 Upper Body days.
