The roll seems to have come to an end. Weight was still up, but conditioning is lacking. Should have been able to do more, just lacking motivation I guess....
 
Outside. Treadmill is for slackers., and is much easier.

haha, that's what i thought you'd say :D

great w/o, goob! btw, what are SA pulldowns?
 
still looks like a great roll to me. those hang cleans are getting heavy dude:thumb: ever try hang cleans and then go into an OH press? that's one killer movement!

Straight Arm Pulldowns.

Yeah, those are killer. It's like the ultimate compound movement. Pretty hard, take too much controlled form for my liking, I can't be bothered with spending the time to learn it properly.

Very nice looking workout Goob, I tried Goblets for the first time the other day, do you not find it difficult holding that 110lb DB in your hands?

Thanks dudes. Yeah, holding 110lb is damn tough, but its why I like goblets, as it works your upper body pretty hard aswell as legs.

The worst parts are lifting the weight to start with (I start in bottom of squat position) and putting it down after. It can get quite sore on the wrists too holding that weight.

I always make the rest of you look like crap. Only not at lifting....:p

Looking strong in here G. How much you weighing in at?

At the moment, approx 156lb's. Probably about the heaviest i've been in a while.
 
Today 4 mile run.

Wierd, ran for first 3/4 of a mile, feeling a steady build up of discomforting lower back 'pain'. I say, pain but it was more of a discomfort.

Walked for further 1. 1/4 miles, discomfort subsided somewhat. Ran for the last 2 miles, but could not get any decent pace on it. I had to run at a very easy pace as so the discomfort would not come back, - which it did, but not to the same degree as before.

I don't have any mobility problems at all, or any discomfort normally, so why does this appear while I was running? I've had this before in varying degrees, but it only first appeared when I integrated RDL's/ SLDL's into the routine.

Discomfort in this area:

This never effected me when I was running more often. Also funny coincidence it starts at the same time I started RDL's etc. properly.

Any thoughts?? Would be much appreciated.
 
Id watch yourself with that one, thats pretty much the same area i pulled out of whack.
 
You know Goob, that is exactly the same with me. When i started doing SLDL's i was fine as long as i kept the reps between 10-12. As soon as i introduced them into my 5x5 program i started to get real problems with my lower back.

I don't know what is causing the pain so i can't help you on that front, but it seems to me that the lower back - for some people - just doesnt like heavy SLDL's/RDL's. I notice you are going pretty damn heavy for low reps, i would suggest cutting the weight by at least 25% and doing much higher reps, say 10-15? Still challenging, but in a totally different way ;)

Not quite sure why the pain would come on when you started to run though? Maybe because you were using the muscles of the lower back to stabilise yourself, but they'd already been knocked out of whack by the heavy RDL's on the 23rd. I dunno mate, im grasping at straws :(
 
Sorry, i couldn't help it ...

I got post 2000 in Goobs journal!! Way-hayyyyy !!

So ... what do i get ?? ...

it doesn't count if you make two posts in a row :finger:

which means...? i get it!

Granted. Wonder if I should lay off the SLDL's / RDL's for a while, because despite Sam's idea, I'm not doing them unless I can go really heavy. And with summer approaching, I want to get out running, and hike my conditioning through the roof. Maintaining muscle is all I really want to do, even losing some, as long as I can get really lean, and that means a lot of running.

What did you do to your back?

Hmm, I was always a bit concerned about deadlifts, as i never found them all that safe, even with good form. I don't really want to do them, unless I'm going really heavy. It's kinda reasurring to hear someone else had similar problems.

Going to try another run tomorrow, and give up deads for this week to see what happens.

Thanks for the input Sam.

Mad, crazy to think that this journal has had 2000 posts, I never thought it would last 2 days, never less this long. And thats almost exactly a year since it started.

Wonder what percent of posts are about working out, and what percent are....er.........more ...er... dubious.
 
A sacro-iliac strain, i expect theres something on google about it. Its a pretty common cause of back pain, as is problems with the QL. Both things are in the lower back area so it could be either :-S

Rest that stuff for a few days i would, at least.

Cool. I'll look that up.

Your numbers are going up fast with Texas. Be carefull with back pain, I was hurting in the same area and it out me out for weeks.

This is not Texas method yet, still the tail end of Witch's program. And it took a while to pay off, but it sure is now.

Flat dude, there's no way I could press that much overhead with DB's. Wish I could though....

Hows the back today Goob? You could look at implementing a serious stretching routine for your hips/hams. My mum reckoned that i had tight hams, and that is the source of all my back problems. I tend to think she's right, because i was pretty committed to my stretching for a while, then it kinda became less important as the pain went away, but now i can feel that same tightness in the lower back since i've become totally complacent about my stretching.

AS yesterday, no pain at all. But I have'nt tried running yet. That's the only time it appears.

I actually have a pretty good stretch before I do anything, and I concentrate a good bit on hams and back, using a yoga type stretch.
I'll give myself a good stretch before I go, and then concentrate on running form while out. Even if I'm ok, I don't think I'll go fast. Easy is the order of the day, until back to full health. No RDL's this week.
 
As far as the percentages.... I'd give it a 20/80 split....:laugh:

20 workout related... 80.. porned up...:thumb: And that's just how we like it..
