any thoughts on improving my rotator, er, rotating ability?
Typically it doesn't really affect anything I do bar if I try to go heavy on upright rows.
But if I stand with my arms at a hang in front of me and turn my arms inwards, when they are as far as they can go, my right elbow is still at about a 10-15 deg less than the other.
Are a few rehab exercises I do for it, but they are more strength for the rotator than anything.
Met (well shook his hands and said gidday) Colm Woulfe today, very large human!

had a Body Composition analysis done today, apparently I'm in pretty good shape (:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: ) aside from carrying a bit much round the middle, which contributes greatly to my overall body fat.
I am bang in the middle for my visceral fat levels too, so thats a good thing.

@Paekakboyz lets just say it was about what I expected...
my main concern is that my left leg is 2% smaller than my right, whereas all other aspects are balanced haha!
I have still been doing gym work, just not updating.
Did some of these side laterals stuff to smash my shoulders this week (as the last part of a shoulder workout)...by set 5, 5kg dumbells hurt!
around 2-3 mins in

Good point. Fitness posts are very self indulgent

There is a fucking test match starting in 24 minutes and you're posting about front squats??? Give yourself an uppercut sir!!!

Have you tried cross grip? That’s the only way I can do them

Ha sounds about right

my fave exercise at moment is overhead barbell press while sitting on the floor, feel it engaging so many muscles.
-
did back yesterday, tried to go heavier on deads, but need to work on using the straps better if I wanna get my numbers up.
First time I tried to use them but didnt come off as lack of grip hindered my ability to do more than 2 reps, or if I wanna go higher which I feel I had at least another 10/20kg in me.

Are you using alternate grip ? If not that should help. Hand grippers and rope climbs are good for grip strength too.
-
@MN5 yeah not sure grip strength is too much of an issue, think its more the weight I'm trying to lift is alot more than I weigh or had been doing...in between most sets of anything I spend just hanging from a pull up bar for that reason and to stretch my shoulder.
nah never felt comfortable with alternative grip either, am sure I'll get there.

did chest today, and did 3 reps of the most I have done on the bench today @110kg.
Pretty stoked, even when I was a gym bunny in my early 20s I think best was 90kg (I weighed 82kg at the time)
Weight been static the past month or more at 100/101kg.

I knew you had it in you. Push up ability does translate to Benching.
