Wide or close grip mate?the broader shoulders is from the upright rows i'm thinking. at least that's what happened to me when i started doing them
close grip upright rows. About 6 in apart. Wide grip is easy, close grip and I feel it by the 3rd set.Wide or close grip mate?
I dropped the upright rows years ago, but maybe I wasn't doing them right, I need something else for width other than lateral raises!
Actually I should. I know I got some on my phone from beginning. And some from like a week and a half ago, and its not really hard to take more. hmmm. This portion of the log is almost over. So I guess I can do a 3 fold comparison.I am angry about not having abs though...but its worth the growth in strength and size. I will cut next summer, bulking till next spring long term investment.You got any progress pics?
The amount of dental and medical work I need done is insane. I have one tooth that is all but disintigrated, a bad cavity in the front that is luckily concealed. Bad ankles, bad muscle in left shoulder since HS(got tore westling, no insurance, let it attached wherever), and now meh back which is hopefully just a temporary thing that will go away.Sounds more like this countries healthcare system is not operating properly or for the benefit of its people. **** insurance. I'd love to go see a doc too!
Thanks for following mate!Hey brah, followed most of your log, im seeing something about a back problem?
Whats the story? something your running? lifting?
So whats the deal with the USA healthcare? How can you "lose" health insurance?
uh mood....technically suffering from depression for the last 5 months since job loss, and every time I get one lined up the company cuts a bunch of people, and obviously im not getting hired...Blue cross and shield?
Sounds rough bro, we piss and moan about the UK health system here but at least its free.
I know moneys an issue but have you even had it seen? Like a consultation?
Im paying private at the moment as i have had major issues this last 3 months, starting at the top of my trap(right side) down to my middle but apparently theres nothing wrong with me.
I was advised many times though by professionals to avoid standard sit ups whilst injured with my back and to concentrate on core work.
Hows your mood?
Well I sacrifice more weight or better form actually with everything. As for my abs its like a combo of decline sit ups, normal sit ups leg rasies, planks. I also did back hyper extensions. You cant see my abs to to its slight protective coating atm, but I could take a punch to em and not jump. Last weekend or monday was the first time I did deadlifts since HS, but I kept the weight low and focused completely on form after spending forever watching videos and practicing it in the mirror with no bar.The consensus among the guys ive seen about it has been most back injuries are caused by poor form and/or a weak core.
What have you been doing for your trunk area all these years? Sit ups and variations probably?
Thats more than likely your issue, ive been addressing it for a few months now and finally able to train back lightly.
Im not expert but it might be worth a shot.
I dunno, the chiro was a bit of a lifesaver for my neck about a year ago (head spinning accident bboying...)Chiro did nothing for me bro, apart from make me click very loudly lol.
Saw nothing in the way of benefits i could see and im still in a fair amount of pain.
keep your chin up man! depression is a helluva black dog.
No I havent. Everytime I finally get one lined up, the company cuts me and others of in the process. 3 times, and once one hires me and we start a 2 week process or whatnot, I quit looking. 3 times that stuff has come up, one company even let 15 people go after they were supposed to hire me, leaving me out in the cold as well. yay for me.Why haven't you been able to get work? And, what is the iron workers union?
Unlikely that it is bad luck, the country has like what, over a million people unemployed so it's almost natural now-a-day...No I havent.

The Iron Workers union is the people who are involved in building everything you see hahhah. Dams, large buildings, etc. In order to be an iron worker you have to be in the union. Pay is hella good though and free life insurance. Doing a crapload of apps though this week. Every place I go, even small warehouses tell me to go online and do it...wtf.
Look at it this way....either I have pissed God off(quite likely actually) or I am simply stuck in a 6 month long time period of sheer unluckiness.
Thanks, me too :nervous:dude, i hope your back gets better!
No, its not a certified thing, its a trade job. Therefore if I get this Iron Workers job, I am actually an apprentice for 4 years. Though with the pay starting at 15.93, with an increase every 6 months, to 17.23, and so on, within a year mking over 18 bucks an hour aint bad... Plus the insurance, oh jeeze I will live at the dentist, and get my arm looked into, my legs cared for. Hopefully my back straightens out and is not on the list :wave2:Unlikely that it is bad luck, the country has like what, over a million people unemployed so it's almost natural now-a-day...
I thought you had to be certified to be a construction steel worker?
Fearing another 2-3,000 doc bill I am gona wait till Monday. I been using one of them heat patches patches on my back. Helps a little.So, any news sir?
BTW, I love that scene there.
If you have to take a week off training to allow your body some time to recuperate, then do it. Don't try and be a hero and keep going, when you could potentially make the situation worse.I am wondering what kind of workouts I could do to keep from losing too much muscle this next week...
I havent lifted since last monday, so its been 7 days...I've not trained in 6 full days now and i haven't lost any muscle mass at all so don't worry about it! Just keep on eating
My diet has suffered a bit, considering I mostly take pain pills and sleep, sweat, and roll around. Appetite is destroyed. I randomly remember to at least take a shake to keep my strength up.If you have to take a week off training to allow your body some time to recuperate, then do it. Don't try and be a hero and keep going, when you could potentially make the situation worse.
As for losing muscle mass, so long as your DIET is ok, you shouldn't lose any muscle mass in a week.
I must have done it lifting(maybe deads) but I didnt feel it on any specific day, it just creeped up during the week after I stopped lifting. Weird huh.Sorry I missed if you hurt your back lifting or if it was a random onset of pain...
Also is that Wolverine before weapon X in that last comic?!
still, i'm sure you'll be fineI havent lifted since last monday, so its been 7 days...
