Talo
24-04-2012, 09:48 PM
I think it’s 3” . If you do end up getting some pipe just make sure you wrap it with hockey tape so it doesn’t slide out from under you :)

I’m also using a tennis ball for my shoulders but looking for an Indian rubber ball. Is it still politically correct to call it that ?

Hopefully you have another gym nearby.

How do you feel about Romanians vs the good mornings?

tex
30-05-2012, 05:44 PM
i use them as an accessory from time to time, they are great! I prefer the good morning for max effort work tho.....seated, concentric and regular ole good mornings.....and there are a few gyms in my area so no biggie.....now that ive thought about it, getting booted from a gym for being too strong isnt such a bad thing :)

cog
30-05-2012, 06:08 PM
I've never tried them seated.

Dropped almost 10lbs ?

Are you getting any special work done for your shoulder ? Massage or Acupunture ?

tex
02-06-2012, 03:02 PM
i was sick for a bit and dropped 6lbs....im rolling out the shoulder daily but i think im gonna start boxing again a few times a week.....i find my shoulders feel waaay better when im doing heavy bag work....havent lost any strength on my lower me stuff so im not worried about the weight loss.....will be adding in homo milk and more meat to get my bodyweight up again tho :) 6'4" and 235 with a 79" reach makes for a super long bench stroke....how are your shoulders holding up??

Talo
03-06-2012, 10:25 AM
Mine are doing alright. Bench is increase with limited shoulder pain so I believe the deep tissue's once / twice a week are helping. I've been slacking on rolling them , but I will pick that up too.

But in all honesty I think I'm done with powerlifting.

tex
03-06-2012, 11:34 AM
what are you gonna do now?? more physique related lifting or something else all together?

Talo
03-06-2012, 11:55 AM
Something like that yes. Getting older so training for general health would be best and much easier on the joints dropping 20-30 lbs could make life easier. I just love lifting heavy shit and taking a break is hard enough :)

Who knows I'll have to sit and give it some thought

tex

i was worried i would have trouble with the 405....lol....before i took the unwanted break i hit 600 for a single so ive lost a little over 20% strength....not too bad for 6 weeks of no squattin....hows your training going, bro?

Talo
05-10-2012, 10:09 PM
Yeah well I bet you will be back to 600 or more in no time.

My training has not been going at all :) I haven't trained since I left Toronto at the end of Aug. Been crazy busy at work and I was getting frustrated with my hamstring not healing up proper after the knee surgery. 350 was hard and I was doing 550 before the surgery. !!

Once work dies down a bit I'll start getting back in and squatting - We have a nice squat rack at work to with over 600lbs of plates so there will be no reason not to .

218 at 6'4. What do you think 230 ?

Personally I like to maintain a Paleo aproach when coming off Keto. I usually just start adding in fruits to my shakes and some sweet potatoe fries with dinner. I just find limitting heavy carbs keeps me feeling less bloated.

BTW, Good job with the weight loss. I hope to be down there soon.

yeah i think 230 is a good weight and easy to maintain.....im really comfortable doing the keto thing now so I think your approach would probably fit me well......im gonna up my gym time as the wife is on board now and will let me get 4-5 training days a week now......

Have you tried those handles with a rotating platform for pushups?You can go wide like a guillotine press and stay 8 inches from the bottom or bring your hands right beside your hips comfortably.Handy.I find ring presses really easy on the shoulders,you can find what is smooth.Body weight rows as well.
