the abb exercise is where you hold onto a pillar behind your head while lying down, then raise your feet above your head and touch the pillar.

Low bar squats suck ass, i actually cant find the spot where the bar sits on muscle and any weight over 60kg really hurts, not to mention i cant straighten out my wrists.
---
Shoulder press was easy i guess, no struggling.
---
Did rows cause i was too tired for power cleans.

HAHA, damn straight!
Training's looking good man.

I really hope to compete next year, id love to be pulling 150+ for a single by christmas, my goal is to crack the national junior deadlift record, but ive no idea what it is. The reason for the singles was i was bolloxed goin in and i knew i wouldnt get the full reps and i decided to take it as low bar training day, which kills my wrists! Thx all :P i didnt think anyone read my log :P

brianthebard

Does podge not have that record? What weight would you be competing at?

RE: breathing - try to suck air into your belly instead of your chest. Problem I've found w/ breathing into your chest is that with the bar on your back it gets harder and harder to get air as the weight goes up so you're best off learning to breathe into your belly now.

cardio,shoot me

how in the hell are you supposed to do that?

brianthebard

You don't know how to breath into your stomach? When you breath does your shoulders go up, as you chest fills up? Well instead of doing that, resist that sort of movement, and imagine pulling your diaphragm down into your stomach using your lungs, diaphragm and stomach muscles. Sort of like tensing before someone hits you in the stomach, but you draw air into your stomach first/while tensing.

cardio,shoot me

i did a bit of googling and found ive tried it out, I sort of tense my abs as im doing this and nearly expand my stomach before the air goes in?

brianthebard

yeah guess that's 90% of it down.

cardio,shoot me

ill work on it
