ewokhugo Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Steve : i know how bad its to have back problems because i treat them all the time. Sven Carlsson(WSM contender) used one "machine" to help him to solve some strong back problems with lots of results. U can see the machine if u watch his video : "viking power" , sorry dõnt know the name. This machiñe its quite expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsterone Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 It's not any easier but I'm still making progress. Unlike my back... Thursday My back was playing me up too much today. I couldn't push from the hole on the heavy set of leg presses, was barely able to straighten my left leg out on leg extensions or any of the leg press sets and so on. To see if it helped I did a little inversion boot work (2 x 1 mins) at the end of the workout. Leg Ext 0-kilos x 12 reps, 80-kilos x 8 reps, 120-kilos x 8 reps, 180 x 6 plus 1 r/p rep Leg Curl 25-kilos x 8 reps, 40-kilos x 8 reps, 60-kilos x zilch (moved but other plates stuck to it and I was actually leg curling 75-kilos for 1/2 a rep before they dropped. After that I could not budge 60 or 55-kilos at all. Leg press (using pad as before) 120-kilos x 8 painful reps, 240-kilos x 8 reps, 600-kilos x zilch. L/P/D 80-kilos x 8 reps, 120-kilos x 8 reps, 155-kilos x 3 x 7 reps* Inversion boot hangs 2 x 1 min hangs * shows that my leg problems are all back related as I felt good n strong on these.

mobsterone Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 (edited) Contest... Nov 8th the BHSA are having an event and part of that is contesting the 2 hand pinch. I'd work had on it anyway because I'm now aiming for 110-kilos. I have, I think, 7 identical logs (two by request of the admin). But I've had posts here edited because I've used swear words. Recently a link to my blog was removed because... quote: your blog was deemed to be ''too commercial''. I'm not gonna go off on one but if you wanna know what I'm doing you know where to look and it ain't here. You're welcome to drop in at any of the other places and post etc. That said I had a passing thought this morning. For years I wondered why some of those I consider my main competition did not post a training log. No log from David, Nick, Jedd, Chad and so on. But other than the actual weights they'd lift you'd learn very little from the sets and reps schemes.

honk Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 But other than the actual weights they'd lift you'd learn very little from the sets and reps schemes. What should I learn anyway? We are not dealing with rocket science here. Applying is way harder and more important than learning imho. Your log is still appreciated though.

mobsterone Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Tuesday pm Vulcan gripper work Thursday Started at GN. Weird workout to say the least. The lower back thing is what it is and I was having to lean over to the right to lock out my left leg. I used the 'pushing off the safeties' thing throughout in case of problems. I doubt very much if I actually locked out my left left once but had a good session just the same. Note that the lever row work was, relatively speaking, easy because I can max the maxhine. This is why I did a follow up session at my gym and the same applies to the leg extension. Leg Extension 120-kilos x 8 reps, 90-kilos a leg x 8 reps Leg Curl 25-kilos x 8 reps, 50-kilos x 8 reps, 70-kilos x 4 reps, 65-kilos x 3 reps Leg Press took my sweet time and all sets bar zero weight are 'off safeties'. 0-kilos x 12 reps, 120-kilos x 8 reps, 240-kilos x 8 reps, 320-kilos x 8 reps, 400-kilos x 8 reps, 480-kilos x 8 reps, 560-kilos x 8 reps, 680-kilos x 10 reps, tried 730-kilos but it would not budge. Lever machine rows 1/2 stack x 8 reps, stack (20 plates) x 2 x 10 reps My gym Lat Pulldowns v-bar 80-kilos x 8 reps, 120-kilos x 8 reps, 155-kilos x 2 x 8 reps and 1 x 7 reps Leg extension 145-kilos / stack x 8 reps, 180-kilos x 8 reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
