[jimbuick]

Did you feel any type of 'shift" when it happened?

 

[justanotherj]

Thoughts and blurbs
Was doing the kb crooked with my left arm, not sure if it was due to my lower back, or because I couldn't fully externally rotate my left shoulder and lock it back.. or both.

Been doing a lot of pool and running since my last gym workout.

sparring with my friend is on hold until the back is 100%.

Your depressing bench would've been a PR for me...

2 hours of underwater rugby.

Legs are still DOMsd from running. So long distance run before squats never again

Ordered a heavy bag and looking to spar soon. Hopefully I can dust off some cobwebs

 

[NomZ]

How does one play underwater rugby?

I'll spar with you bro.

 

[justanotherj]

It's like water polo, except you're only allowed to pass and move under water. If you surface you gotta drop it. So the ball starts centerline and at the bottom of the pool, and everyone starts on the edge, and you just try to place it on the edge of the otherside of the pool deck to score. We use a 17' pool, I imagine it wouldn't be as fun in a standard 9' pool. anything goes to get the ball, to the point of a tap out.

It's a good excuse to drown eachother

 

[justanotherj]

Also the ball is those little rubber torpedos.

 

[justanotherj]

Come to my garage and bring a mouthgaurd.

 

[NomZ]

Sounds awful, was gonna ask about the ball.

I need headgear to minimize the brain trauma. Did some boxing last week for the first time in years, my neck hurt from eating all the punches.

You still in O?

 

[justanotherj]

O? ..

Warm up really well and start with a dowel breaking down the motions.

Check out some California Strength tutorial vids, and start practicing with a broomstick or pvc pipe.

Thanks guys.

It felt awkward for sure. What warmup a do you suggest? I did some banded shoulder mobility and ShouldeRok beforehand.

Overhead squats, band shoulder or dowel dislocations, snatch Deads to work on the first pull, then start breaking into power snatches.

 

[justanotherj]

I would probably do them very light and just from the hip, vice the floor. How wide was your grip?

I tried all the way on the ends and a hand or two inside that. Not certain where to start. Is the bar supposed to bounce off your thighs/quads? It almost looks that way in some videos.

 

[justanotherj]

No. I'll find you a video that explains it when I get home. The bar should hang at the crease of your hip when you stand tall.

RegisterJr I couldn't find the exact video I was thinking of.

I usually just bend over and push it into my hip crease, adjust my grip, stand up, and see if it hangs in the same spot. Then repeat until I get it.

Minor tear in my L4 disc. No squatting or deadlifting, or anything that puts pressure on my spine for 4-6 weeks. Fuuuuuuuu
