MattM Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Maybe sticking with a rack pull instead of the deadlift would help? Even things like back extensions could work for 531 I was going to call you if i didnt see a log soon! Are you training tomorrow or will you be in the gym for any reason?

Someone was using the one I usually use and I had to wait 20 minutes for a squat rack adn didn't want to wait again. Didn't even really look at the weight I was using since I don't use that machine ever. Did 4 sets of 10 with the weight increasing each time.

dpc Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 12/29/12 Haven't been to a gym in awhile since I left school for winter break. Then, during winter break I found out I actually graduated by accident. Today I got a membership at LA Fitness. Haven't lifted in a while, so took things slow today and restarted this months cycle. Also, don't have any of my gym stuff here since I didn't know I would be graduating, so no belt or shoes. 10 pull ups Military Press 45 1x5 60 1x5 75 1x3 80 1x5 90 1x5 105 1x5 Felt slooooow, but got it up. Shrugs 135 4x15 Pull downs 85 1x10 100 2x10 Rope pressdown 60 1x12 70 3x12 Lastly I did some cardio. I'm not sure what it's called, but the gym had two ends of a long rope attached to a dumbbell. I've seen it a billion times, just don't know what it's called.

dpc Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 12/31/12 Usually I would either try and deadlift today or do rack pulls, but my belt isn't here and I hadn't lifted in awhile so I took it easy with back stuff. Wont list everything, but just did some lower back, hamstring, and ab stuff. No big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 General strength training is probably the best way to start doing those movements wothout pain. Good luck with your move today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Nice squat man, I went to lifetime fitness or LA fitness (I can't remember which one) and I actually LIKED the bars and the setup they had. Only downside was there was only one squat rack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpc Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 The squat rack is really small here. If it was an inch smaller I'd have to squat outside of the small cage. The bar also just barely fits onto the rack. When the bar is in the middle of it, you have about half an inch on each side of the support, so it just barely fits in there. The only issue I really have with the place is that the benchs are really slippery. It's hard to stay rigid on the bench because you slide around on it no matter what you are wearing.

dpc Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Forgot to check it again Matt. My bad 1/13/13 Rack pull 95 x5 115 x5 135 x5 165 x5 185 2x5 Felt really good. Absolutely no feeling of weakness in my back. Back extension 2x15 reps 2x10 with 25 pounds Seated leg curl 55x10 80x10 95x10 Never used the seated leg curl. Used it just beacuse the laying down one was being used. Hated it so much. Felt actual pain everywhere below my waist except my hamstrings/butt.

MattM Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Haha i love this log. I actually like the machine myself. And hot damn your rack pull has done well since you started! Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpc Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Stupid leg curl machine. I'm sure every brand is different, so I'm not against them, but this one just put me in so much knee pain it's not even funny. I really wanted it to work because I hate laying down to them (by the way, seeing my mom try and get out of the lying hamstring curl machine is the funniest thing ever.)
