How's your rehab work going?

Do you have an attachment for these, or just loop the band around a bar?

Tried doing them with a bar last week, but I couldn't get it set up right

Two green bands like you'd normally set one up for band pushdowns, about 4 feet apart, loop the bar thru like a reverse band bench, pushdowns. I'll take a pic of set up next time if you want.

Ah here, I thought you'd have more integrity than to use pshop

!

Hanley · 11-12-2012 03:34PM

Don't know when I'll get the pro shots, but here's the "end" last night.

And here's what just went down...

I can't believe you've done the ol 'Sad Face/Happy Face' routine in your Before/After pics - have you no shame??

:pac:

I was actually going to ask if you had a legit before shot, to gauge the changes made.

I've a feeling i'll be doing my own 30day slog in January.

Warm Up
-scap destroyer (12s) x2 rounds

GVT Day 1

A1) Bench:
75kg 10x10

A2) Fat Grip Chinzz:

First day of GVT. It burns. Was feeling SERIOUSLY swole after it.

Got in 4,000kcal yesterday w/ < 200g carbs. At 3,100kcal for the day so far and under 125g carbs. Be interesting to see how this clean bulk goes.

Hanley · 13-12-2012 05:55PM

Just ordered the following from MyProtein...

5kg protein
1kg creatine mono (creapure)
500g beta alanine
500g PeptoPro
1,000 omega 3 caps
270 ZMA caps
Some shakers, pill boxes, scoops and tubs

GAIN ALL THE MUSCLE

Thanks, managed to work it out last night - I'd just been using 1 band like a chump!

Lago · 13-12-2012 10:05PM

Can I ask why you do so much work with bands? I'm just suprised that a guy who can squat over 150kg still uses bands. Is it just because of injuries and imbalances (I do the same) or is their any strenght benefit to it?

You'll have to expand on that question. I can't remember the last time I used a band squatting (well, I can, but it was years ago). What type of band work are you asking about?

A poor question now that I've looked back over it, it seems I overly misjudged it. Basically I was wondering about your scap work, it seems I imagined your other exercises with bands :mad:

I mostly use the bands for warm up/activation/stretching work these days.

I use them for strength work from time to time, but honestly it'd be < 5% of my training.

Hanley · 14-12-2012 01:20PM

<<I got a...>>

Warm Up
-did some physio stuff about 3 hours before training, that counts, right?

GVT, Day 2

A) Stiff Leg Deads:
100kg 10x10 w/ 90s recovery

B1) Seated Fat Gripzz DB Curls:
10kg DBs 10x8

B2) Close Grip Floor Press:
60kg 10x10 - 60s recovery between sets

Bit of a modified GVT template as I'm not training shoulders on it, and can't train anything requiring knee flexion at the mo. Good session, not too tough really but starting light to hopefully build. Plan being +5kg to the SLDLs each session and +2.5kg to the floor presses. Playing a long run 3 month game here.

Have ate a lot today so far. Don't feel so great. Bleurgh.

Training's easy. Eating's hard.

Ah well I must have got it wrong then. I'm honestly confused now, because I don't know where I came up with it. Sorry about that

Hanley · 16-12-2012 03:25AM

A1) dips w/ BW 10x10
A2) Pendlay Rows w/ 60kg 10x10 - 90s recovery

B1) inverted ring row 3x10
B2) DB bench w/ 20kg DBs 3x10 40X0 - 60s recovery

Mneh. Patron - yea.

kevpants · 17-12-2012 11:01PM

Mother of God we started GVT on the same day. Our menstrual cycles are probably synchronised as well.

Weirder, we did the second day on the same day too. Even weirder, we did the same exercises both days. Weirder again I'm living in a tree outside your house.

Doing a GVT squat day next? When? I feel scared of mine.

What? Really? You're not serious?!

Probably won't get to squat until the new year. Will do another hammy exercise instead (GMs).

You timing everything as well?

Warm Up

GVT, Day 4

A) Sumo Stance Safety Bar Box Squats:
60kg 10x10 w/ 90s recovery

B1) Fat Bar Curls:
20kg 10x10

B2) Close Grip Bench:
60kg 10x10 - 60s recovery between sets

Since my leg is screwed and I was feeling sorry for myself, I called Mickk this morning and went up to Irish Lifting to buy myself 2 early Xmas presents - a safety squat bar and a squat box. The good news is that my leg came thru it pretty well. The box was well above par but that'll do for now.

The curl/press superset was lovely and pumptastic.

Really happy with the new gear. Once again I would implore anyone who wants to get stuff from Irish Lifting to just pick up the phone and do it. So much simpler than sitting online waiting for an email and then b!tching that you didn't get one!

Scuba Ste · 18-12-2012 05:43PM

What's the safety bar do?

I know it changes the position of the bar to somewhere slightly forward but I don't know why that's safer or more beneficial than a normal bar.

Yah I don't know why it's called a safety squat bar tbh.

Look at the position of the camber in the rack, when it's on your back, the handles point somewhat forward, as does the camber meaning the weight's slightly in front of you, and it sits slightly higher. So you're constantly pushing your chest up to avoid getting smashed forward. Seems to put a high bar close stance style emphasis on your legs in every stance position since you're forced upright.

BUT the big benefit of it for me is that it completely removes wrist/elbow/shoulder stress. The bar sits atop your traps without having to even touch it with your hands (tho there are handles in front).

Cheers, I thought there might be some lower body rehabby element to it. I suppose with low bar squatting a lot it makes a nice alternative.

<<Happy Holidays...>>

Warm up
-did my new physio stuff and scap work about 7.15am

GVT Cycle 2, Day 1

A1) Bench:
80kg 10x10

A2) Fat Grip Chinzz:
bodyweight 10x7 - 90s recovery

B1) Ring Push Ups:
3x12

B2) Chest Supported Rows:
10kg DBs 3x12 - 60s recovery

Good enough session. Was getting a bit tough towards the end on the 10x10 but confident I've a good few weeks of progress before any potential gains tap out. My secret weapons (peptopro, creatine and beta alanine) should be here soon so I'll be stepping it up again then.

I'll keep adding 2.5kg to the bench and a rep to the chinzz until then.

Here's a progress pic from end of week 1 (still haven't checked weight, and seriously pumped)

Are you taking it as a Whey replacement or just PWO??

I think the end of the world really is coming. Hanley looks leaner than me!

You must be getting fat so?! I'm at 4,000kcal daily so can't see the leanness lasting long!

ferike1 · 19-12-2012 04:23PM

I have been a bit liberal these last few weeks. Still doing the IF but throwing in more junk. M&S Cookies and brownie cake ftw). Going to get strict again new year.

Looking in great nick man!
