by **scooterdad** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 4:35 am

Friday the 14th

Over head press 5/5/5/3/2 150lbs
Pullups 7/5/3
turkish getups 5 left 5 right 25lbs
Here are some vids of my work out

Squat: put the bar lower, this way you sit back more with your hips. You need to go deeper, hip joint is not coming below knee joint.
oh press: lots of room for improvement there; Bar needs to be higher on your chest, close to your clavicels. Doing that shortens the range of motion, meaning more weight. Also your shoulders/chest support the bar, not your wrists. Bar higher, then elbows in front of the bar at the start of each rep. That will add kgs.

Mondays workout
Squat 5/5/5/5/0 275lbs * see notes
Bench press 5/5/5/5/5 165lbs
Barbell Rows 5/5/5/5/5 135lbs
Chinups 5/2/4 bw

Notes ...
Did some more vids and will post them tomorrow but one thing that I noticed is that when I do the recording I tend to rush and well that why on my squat I got a big zero for the 5th set. I kinda tweeked my knee and well.... What to do? I know my form sucked so I think it was my form on the 4th set that did me in.
Tomorrow is work out B and time to work on my oh press form

issues please standby

by **scooterdad** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 6:13 pm

At the end is when my knee got tweeked

Form sucks but that will happen

Squat: need to go deeper, also need to move your hips back first. Can't see much more on the video unfortunately, better view would help.
barbell rows: devil chasing you? chest more forward, bar on the floor on each rep.
bench: always look where you want the bar to go (point on the roof), not at the bar, this helps pushing in a straight line.

So Todays sucked ....bad
Squat 5/5/3/0/0 Bum knee
Over head press 5/5/5/5/5 115lbs working on form
Dead Lift zero attempted bum knee
Chinups 7/5/3 BW

Time to take a break and let my knee heal a bit one week off

by **scooterdad** » Thu Mar 20, 2008 6:57 am

ok so after looking at the vid above its WAY clear why my knee is hurting
Thanks medhi
It looks like Im trying to do it all with my knees and not my hips ...ouch

do something if you take that week off, ankle/hip mobility, glute activation, etc. plain rest doesn't fix problems;

by **scooterdad** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 1:58 am

agreed ....And I will focus on keeping limber
