Dr_Pangloss Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) That bench press video is horrible, I really don't get how people can bench with a suicide grip. Edited September 17, 2013 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom_Wren Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Just maxed my bench. Did 225lbs x 20. Beat my max by 1 rep. Last did it probably 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2013 Totally demotivated cuz of knee, so no I haven't been in a while (and my membership is up at the end of the month). What's the problem you're having? Back? Knees? Arms? From a technique point of view it's a relatively simple lift. I find that If the initial lift is giving you problems then it could be the way you are shaping your back beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meath_Villan Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 was just going to get you to check on my form ...but sure I will get dave to have a look I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2013 When are you in next? I can definitely go Saturday if you want. Just because I haven't gone doesn't mean I can't go. It might be good - no - it WOULD be good to go in once more before my membership expires. And I'm not being funny but I really wouldn't trust the employees on their form. I haven't seen them specifically teaching deadlift but I have seen them on squats (granted, a far more complicated lift) and I was not impressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 24, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2013 You've no idea how much it's wrecking my head. I really should go to the doctor with the knee but I'm assuming it is cruciate so I'm assuming rest will make it better. But basically as it stands, I can't squat or deadlift and even something like a rowing machine needs to be done verrrry gingerly. Basically, I can't just 'go at it' when I go to the gym and it ends up pissing me off to the point where I'd rather not go there to be miserable. Which then makes me miserable that I'm not there. The few times I've gone since the injury, I've still been able to bench 75kg and overhead 50+ so I'm as strong as I've ever been and if I ever go back at it I expect I'll reach that level in no time.

ME Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Todays work out almost won. I really did struggle more than I have in a long time. I still finished the work out but my form wasn't good on hardly anything. Damn single leg box step ups ruined me. I did move almost everything out of my sisters apartment the other day and my body was full of aches. Still, I felt like a puss. BOF, get your butt in gear. You definitely need to rest the knee but there's plenty of other stuff you could be doing. Especially if you are that grumpy without the gym. YOU GOT THIS!

BOF Posted September 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2013 I did 40 pushups at home yesterday evening. It felt good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Is it any motion with a knee bend or just deeper ones like squats? I was thinking you could do a different variation of Burpees. But it still might be too much. When did the tear happen? how long of you been resting and hopefully icing it? Also, how's the attachment above the knee in the quad and below it near the shin? Essentially does either hurt and if so which one hurts more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2013 I can walk on it and jog briefly. Periods of inactivity make it slightly stiff and it takes a while to loosen up. It won't bend fully and it begins to send me signals (starts to hurt) as it approaches full bend. A full straighten gives the same signals. Basically it doesn't take much movement at all for it to remind me that all is not well in there. My one attempt at the deadlift since the injury resulted in a back tweak because I compensated for the knee with my back, like an idiot. So I've taken the approach that full rest is better than making a complete hames of the thing altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Moved on up yesterday with my running! Feeling good too. No aches or pains, knees are holding up fine. Amazing what a decent pair of trainers will do. 45min 30sec (6km) straight off. Gave me a pace of 7:35 which is ace. I could have probably ran a little more but my iPhone died at km 5 and I got bored. Next aim.. 7km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Have got a great regime going at the mo - a mix of interval training (running), weights, bikram yoga and football. I am really seeing a massive difference in both my energy levels and body, This routine has been a real win win for me - http://www.menshealth.co.uk/lose-weight/burn-fat/how-to-speed-up-your-metabolism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
