 Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | I agree with those guys, form doesn't look bad at all. Given that your back's been hurting tho' do you feel you're hyperextending on lockout? Pretty much all I can think of. Good work, dude. | ||

Member 2236, 270 posts SQ 100, BP 60, DL 140300.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Thanks, urrrm I'm not sure, I have sufferred with a bad achy back for about 2yrs, so may just be aggrevating it a bit, currently trying to sort it all out, nothing too bad that stops me immediately doing things though, so carrying on is fine, nit sure what you mean by hyperextending, I'll look into it, there's always room for improvement, so I'll keep at it, I do think that having more space between bar and shins is going to help loads, gunna get so much more use out of my legs that way | ||

I'll look into the shoes, Any suggestions where to look or pointers at what I'm looking for? I'm constantly trying to look at vids, going to get into te elite fitness "so you think you can squat" vids next week and compare and adjust my form towards them and see how it goes, looking forward to it, also in touch with my friend locally who entered the last welsh strongman comp which I think was in march (his first comp an came 5th) for some pointers and to show me some stuff Just read this. As far as oly shoes go I have Strength shop Lions and they have been very good I would deffo recommend them. However think I'm gonna replace them soon with some Do-Wins no real reason other than I fancy a change | ||

Member 2236, 270 posts SQ 100, BP 60, DL 140300.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 04.05.2011 @ 06:58 AM by littlemike69 picked up a Bupa claim form today, so i'm off to physio tomorrow to have or book a consultation for my back and shoulder, will take it from there then, gotta get it sorted, just want it fixed and not getting worse,quick legs session tonight i managed to squeeze in... back squats 53k x5 53k x5 53k x5 53k x5 53k x5 *i've decided to lower these whilst i rest my calf, also to be 100% comfortable with form and be happy i'm doing a full hip parallel squat and not cheating by not going the distance on how low i squat, 53k felt fine, no calf niggle, and happy i went low enough, leave at 53k for now Stiff Leg Deads 90k x5 90k x5 90k x5 90k x5 90k x5 * 75k has seemed really easy on the good sessions so just banged on the plates and ended up at 90k, which i thought was 83k until 2 mins ago as when i realised i used the 7ft bar NOT the 6ft bar! no wonder it felt like i hard work, which im happy with to know the effort is going in, definitely wont be putting this weight up without being confident about form and performing the actually lift correctly no calf raises with bad right calf still hanging raises 3x12 *i've been hanging from pull up bar for these but seem to be swinging to much, so today i put a barbell across the cage under the pull up handles and used this against my back whilst hanging, much happier.....and much harder, burning abs!!! still feeling a bit demoted with shoulder injury on the brain, has felt fine today though, so hopefully rest is key, but physio will sort this i hope anyway diet has gone to the dogs over last 2 days, not really eaten much rubbish, just not eaten much at all, still eating the training related foods i bought in last shop when i have been eating though, still very much a work in progress.... on another diet related note, UDOS oil is f**king RANK!!! taste stays for ages, i must get over this hurdle and continue with oil taking and diet changes for the better....... | ||
