    legs today

    started with squats, didnt go heavy today, not entirely happy with my technique, often when i go heavy I find myself pushing with more weight on the balls of my feet

    Then did single leg squats (weighted) super seted with squats on a balance board

    Super set of seated leg press/calf raises, then hammies/straight leg raises/mountain climbers

    Finished with 5 mins on air bike, did 10 sec work/20 sec rest but went flat out for the 10, man I am unfit!

          Back

          super sets: wide pull ups/hammer pull ups (weight assisted)
          Bent over barbell rows/rear shrugs
          Deads
          Hyperextensions/mountain climbers/side crunches on hyperextension bench - both sides

          Core felt suitably wrecked after that

          5 mins on air bike.

                        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

                                      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

                                      Story of my fern life. With all the other shit I write I should make more of an effort in the fitness forum

                                      Nah, we're good

                                      @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!

                                      Good point. Fitness posts are very self indulgent
