Hey Guys

Rest day for us today.

We’ve spent the day working + then enjoying some time with family.

We’re currently watching designated survivor on Netflix honestly it’s fantastic

I echo kuba. I have 2 clients with this … routine is key.

Unfortunately some people don’t want to hear this as it’s then down to them to execute

But it’s true that it’s the most effective!

Leg day.

Was a super day! I’d bought some attachments for the smith so it turns into a safety bar … was hard haha but good hard! Started with 3 plates will build up from there got to get my brace right as it felt a little off on some reps

Rest of the session progressed nicely from the last session so i am really happy!

Still not 109% but feeling better than the other day so back to training as normal ✔️

Hey!

I’ve never had it myself.

Where are you based??

For myself I’ve had numbness issues just not where you’re explaining, the chiropractor for me was the best as they figured out what wasn’t firing did some manipulations to help and gave me some exercise to use as mobility to get things back working again

Rest day 2…feeling a little better but not 100% I’ll be back in the gym tomorrow if I feel like this as I know my body well.

Today was a usual day of work, and it was my nephews 2nd birthday so we spent an hour at my brothers this evening

My whole family live in the same village so all about 5 mins away walking it’s nice 👍🏽

Clare – all different variations of press

Incline db

Flat bench

Incline bench

Incline smith

And now high incline smith

Phoebe – I’m in Canada so specialist is very hard to come by especially with this issue

First time it happened it took me 6 months just to get an ultra sound to take a look at it and by that time, she said it was pretty much healed

Marc – same as what I’m saying to phoebe

There no real professional to see I kinda get fluffed off with injuries like that

I see my massage lady every other week who says all we can do is work on it

As well as most physio

@coachbax on Instagram could help a good deal, especially if getting any decent therapist to help is hard. He’s actually also a Canadian but currently resides in Thailand, see if he can be of help.

Thinking out loud (again I’m not a therapist but just thinking) have you tried neutral grip pressing?

Hey guys

Hope you’re all good I’m doing a double rest today and tomorrow.

I’ve had a chest infection and last night / today hit me like a tonne of bricks. If I pushed to do my session it would be a little silly on my part. Annoying but just one of them things.

Hoping to be back in for Friday to train, but will decide tomorrow / Friday am.

Things here bad this are going pretty great and I’m sure they’ll be back to being great once the medication does its job

If you can get a better feel from leg press vs any squat I would argue your firm needs addressing on the movement

Pendulum squat and hack squat are my two favorite lifts. I got strong on hacks and stalled so wanted to switch it. I can’t do smith squats tho, heel elevated, knees over toes – I just don’t feel them in my quads my glutes are getting torn up but trying to find a standardized form yesterday and only able to get a small amount of quad activation I just decided it wasn’t worth messing with.[/quote]
May be worth sending some footage over if you can … my insta DM is always open.

I like a smith squat but not everyone does.

If you like a pendulum why not run with that?

Or look to use some diff rep ranges / tempos with the hacks to break the plateau

A really great session today, we trained a tad early as kuba had an exciting session with Ron.

Todays work was
DY raise x 3
Atlantis incline press x 2
Atlantis shoudler press x 2
Dips x 2
Machine seated laterals x 2
Single cable laterals x 2
Tricep extensions x 2

I liked training early, sometimes it doesn’t work with work….but I felt so good. Lots of energy less busy in the gym. May need to make it work, somehow

Happy Easter Monday all

I didn’t realise it was a bank holiday till we turned up at the gym on Friday and it was rammed haha.

A really great rest day … nice and productive with work!

Check in for me also, positive + things are stepping forwards nicely. So happy days!

I’m with the ladies, just stick with the black coffee if anything a bit of sweetener first thing just makes me more hungry / cravey!!

Glutes and Hams day

The first day on the new session it felt great

Kuba has sat my hip thrust a little earlier on in the session as obviously glute development is what I need a lot of!

And then a single leg press instead of walking lunges

And it all just felt great … look forward to building number s

I agree with Hilly.

For myself when I’m sat a little leaner I go down as far as 3 and see no problems

How do you feel as to why you’d think it’s a problem

Meg Sylvester IFBBPRO

[Meg]

Sounds more so like a stability issue for sure

Nothing better usually for most minor issues than doing exercises properly and not using too much load

But reach out to a socialist to see if there is anything seriously wrong before doing that

Hope you’ve all had a great Saturday 🙂

A nice morning of working and doing some house jobs,

This afternoon me and kuba went to the cinema to watch John wick I really enjoyed it! Look forward to leg day tomorrow
