put your hands on your shoulders and point them forward towards the wall infront of you.
 
P-funk: I tried over and over to do them but I can't, what does this mean?
 
one side view one front view.

It means you are incredibly weak.

lol, wich muscles? leg muscles or core stability?

isn't it weird though since in the squat vid, I was getting lower than a chair seat, and I paused at the bottom for a while?

My legs are probably very weak, when I first started benching my max was like 60lbs, and I never trained my legs, so... yea

1) your core, your hip extensors, hip flexors, everything!

2) it is not weird at all that you can get lower without the chair. Look at how sloppy the squat is when you go that low.

The thing that you need to remeber is:

Getting there is not as important as how you get there.


basically, squatting down to that depth is not important if you are getting there is a biomechanically 'unsound' way.
 
Ok I got a side view (uploading it right now) the first 2 reps were practice, then the third rep I finally did it
 
okay.

I think you really need someone to be there.

the hardest part for me is watching these videos and knowing that if I were there I could coach and instruct and make you do what you are trying to do....But, I am not, so my hands are tied.
 
you should try and put something on the chair and squat down to that.

you might actually want to try placing some 10lb plates under your heels when you squat.

the last rep is good right? I just needed some practice, I can do it easily now...
 
you are still leaning over big time though!

try to put some plates under your heels.
 
that looks better than the other one.

everything needs stretching! You are all kinds of tight. I mean, you squat down and your torso is nearly parallel with the floor! There is something wrong there.

Your calves appear to be really tight, hip flexors as well.


Keep practicing with the plates. Also, notice when the plates are under your feet, if you watch your squat there, when you hit the chair your torso angle brakes parallel with your shank. At about 60 degrees of hip flexion you appear to be okay. Work on that as your functional ROM for now, as you improve your flexibility to get down deeper.
 
whats a shank?

do you think I still need to work on core stability

thanks alot, I would be screwed if you never helped me out lol
 
yes I think you need to work on core stability.

shank is your shins.

look at how is trunk and shisn remain parallel to each other:

ur not elite. how can u put link in ur sig?
 
my shoulder/tricep area hurts when I internally rotate my shoulder, I think it was from throwing the football around yesterday, also my ankles, and knees in alot of discomfort.... NO MORE SPORTS!
 
If the lying hip abductions with a straight knee are too easy, then you're doing them wrong. The ROM is very small. If you are capable of getting a good ROM, then you're doing them wrong.

Also, side lying bicycles are different. See if you can find them on Google. If not, I will explain.

I could not find the side lying bicycles, do you have a link? I think the lying abductions clamshells must of activated my glutes, because I got alot deeper on the squats, and felt more stable (even though my form was bad)
 
See about getting a foam roller. I swear soft tissue work is amazing. I have seen some serious issues seriously assisted by the usage of a foam roller.

If I get a foam roller, what muscles what I use it on, I wouldn't know what to do, or do you foam roll the whole body?

The bicycles begin like a side lying abduction. Instead of abduction your leg, you want to flex your hip and knee to 90 degrees and the bring it back. Do this slowly and under control, and try to prevent your thigh from rotating down or up. Imagine a glass of water resting on your leg that you don't want to spill. Notice how it kind of looks like you're pedaling a bicycle.

You could do your whole body pretty much, particularly the lower body. Check out the sticky where P links up an article on it. I believe the stretching sticky has it within.
 
I don't see any workouts here ???? Is this the Online journal section??
 
lol just started it 3 days ago and haven't worked out since

You're going to have a hard time achieving your goals like that. Mike, you should spend less time posting and more time getting shit together.
