Not enough rom for handstand pushups, your head gets in the way.

Very different from military presses, those are way harder

i eat em RAW with some chilli/tomato sauce.
And it's not nice but I just chew and swallow.
You skipping the yolks because you're controlling your fat intake?

Anyways, my pulled chest muscle is killing me.
Haven't worked out in > a week and i'm getting really restless.
Damn muscle still hurts when I take deep breaths. Wrong muscle to pull.

I'm with mike on this one. The shorter ROM makes it easier to do handstand pushups compared to a military press of equivalent weight. I'm approx. 78kg and I can get a good 10 handstand pushups (and this is after I've trained shoulders and arms earlier today, which are the key muscles in the movement), but I would barely get 5 reps on a 70kg shoulder press. I get what you're trying to put across, just not the best example.

And yes, if someone doesn't have the resources for a gym membership or their own weights, bodyweight is still good for getting in decent shape. But again, that's where the calisthenics thread comes in.

just wanna share with you guys. i actually had lower back injuries when i was 16, caused by rugby training. nothing serious, as the doctor said that my lower back muscle stressed and she gave me an injection. everything was going perfect after that.

the only probs is that she already told me that i need to stay away from heavy works/weights as it might cause the problem to occur again.

idk why but suddenly i can feel that it happens again this week. but caused of my ego, i still do squats. 1 set of 6 reps, and i'm out. i can't even do lighter weight for the next set. so i stopped.

i then tried to do leg extension, and sadly, i can't even do a single rep of 20lbs (as my normal weight is 130lbs).

maybe i should take a long rest from deadlifting and squatting. this is so sad.

Go to a different doctor for a second opinion, I'd say better a chiropractor or physiotherapist.

will do. i'm totally freaked out now. really hope that i can deadlift and squat again. currently feeding on the muscle relaxing pills that the doc gave me.

Dude, CHILL! Not doing deadlifts and squats does not mean the end of the world. Take it easy for a while and do more iso movements. Remember, you're in this for the long run. Taking a break from heavy compounds might actually help your progress. You never know.

will do mike. its just so frustrating when everything was fine, and the weights are increasing. maybe i should stop squatting and deadlifting for a couple weeks and see how it goes.

damn i sit and walk like a granny now.

you know, i have a bad lower back as well, due to fall in football sometime back.
i'm doing squat n deadlifts for fun, and in terms of breaking PRs, i take it real slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww
it's not that u have time against u, back n legs have tonnes of other exercises

maybe i should focus on something else. its getting better today as i can walk with no pain.

haha... I almost vomit when eat 10 egg whites omelette..... I put some tomatoes, mushroom etc in the egg to add on its taste and variety

hey guys i wanna ask about the starting strength work out which is pinned.

hello brothers. got into a car accident 3 weeks ago, been skipping gym since thendue to body paralysis. now muscle shrunked (O not that i hv a lot to begin with, but sayang laaa) how to preserve while im stuck in d hospital bed? any tips?

That is an awful news, btw here is a tip. Do eat your calorie maintenance.

mean maintain diet? trying vry hard to maintain now, with hospital food n all, n my protein shake 3 times a day

Do you know your maintenance calorie? You have to eat at least your maintenance calorie in order to preserve your muscle and mass. If lower than that, you are creating a calorie deficit thus you are going into cutting phase

dunno maintenance calorie, but i guess around 2000 calory
