Motorbiker lifts weights.

My dad accidentally hit my mum today with a chain harrow and has broken her leg in at least three places.

It looks a bit like this and is SLIGHTLY wider than the quad being used to drag it.

Hit her and flipped her over. She was air ambulance'd off to hospital.

I've rung and will probably be going to help out but need to chat with my dad first.

May well be a few weeks off training.

Ouch :hugs:

. Regards, and I wish her the speediest of recoveries. I also hope you're coping okay :console:

so happy. Toughest thing ever

Literally got it up to roughly knee height then managed to wedge it between knees and platform. Then rolled it onto the knees and into lap then it was an easy finish. Matt told me to just drop it when wedged and I was like no, this Is coming up today. Ended up doing a paused frontie for like 10 seconds plus with it on knees then in lap. Thanks to Lloyd renals for his advice last week of using oly shoes. Definitely helped in the bottom position.

Plates were coming off a bit after 5 so pushed them back on then got another than failed 7th. It's alright. Got 70kg in comp in June. Want a decent 8 or 9 reps by then.

Thanks. In tomorrow evening for fronties/Bench/Deadlifts.

Fairly consistent training has led to gains but even my 9 days off didn't do me too much harm judging by the small squat/press PBs first session back.

Yesterdays session

Squats
20 *8, 60*4, 80*3, 100 *2,
belt on,
120*1, 1, 135*1,
150*4,3
145*3,
crap, couldn't squat right today.
Each rep felt weird.

Press
20*5, 30*3, 40*2, 55*1,
65*5,
5RM
pb, ugly and grindy. Mainly got it because i was so pissed off at the crap squat i just monged the crap out of it. Could have done it easier with nicer form in a better mood

Trap bar deads,
60*5, 100*3, 130*3, 150*1,
170*1,
belt on,
170*1,
if anything harder with belt on due to the angle i find myself bending to to do these damn lifts. Due to my Trex arms and the handles being so wide i have to be a few inches lower than for a normal deadlift so the start sucks.

Seated Db press
22*10,10,10, 18*10,

db curlz

65kg *5 Strict press video

5RM PB but 4kg below my 4RM.

Crap form as i was pissed off.

First set of squats. Only got 4. Wanted 5 but 4th was grindy.

2nd set of squats. Was paying a large amount of attention to getting a big breath in. Bracing myself against my belt, then squatting. First two reps look solid then third sucks.

Thoughts/opinions? It's like i forgot how to squat tbh. Probably just a bad day mixed with some overthinking it but they sucked.

It is cool that you video your troubled sets. Good idea really.

Do you find the belt and ankle support thing helps significantly with your lifting?

Looks like the bar position is a bit lower on you than I'm used to seeing in these videos - but that might just be camera angle. Other than that, it just looks like your torso is dipping forward more (would be explained by the bar position) and you're bringing your hips back on the way up to compensate for the offset to your balance.

You're probably just feeling a bit mentally out of it. With all the stress recently and you constantly working maximally and going for PBs, it's not surprising!

Should you not exhale whilst pushing up rather than at the top?

I find the troubled sets help teach you mroe than the good sets.

Belt helps a lot in squats yea. But i can squat decently without it. Ankle support thing? I have knee sleeves on. They're mainly a safety thing for doing stuff like Yoke but i like wearing them on squats as well.

Thanks for the insight. It does look a bit lower.

Also, sometimes you just have bad days in the gym.

I suppose so. Makes sense that.

Ah cool. I wasn't sure if it was a placebo thing. Sorry, I meant knees but typed something else stupidly. Thanks.

There are many myths I've heard since I've been at the gym. My old lifting buddy said that the balance wrist bracelet he wore helped improve balance. I couldn't find anything to support the product so I didn't buy it :tongue:
