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.

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

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.
