Just feel the need to incorporate a core routine on my cardio days.

The dying bug feels SO GOOD after a set of heavy DLs. It seems to really stretch and relax your lower back and hamstrings. I love it

I've always preferred the military press shrug over traditional barebell/dumbell shrugs, but going to try this variation as well.

Changed my back day up a bit yesterday and did some Volume as I didn't want to lift to heavy. Did 2 plate stiff leg dead lifts for 10 reps then went straight into traditional dead lifts for another 10. I really focused on getting my hips low and exaggerating the initial pull off the floor. After I was done the 20 reps I would put the weight down readjust my grip and do BB rows right after. All lifts were done with double overhand grip. After that I did rows @102lb DB's for sets of 15. I can really feel it today in my Hamstrings (exactly what I was aiming for), lower back (exactly what I was aiming for) Upper back (exactly what I was aiming for) and Forearms (happy side effect means my grip was actually working hard)
Ended the workout with straight bar curls and incline BB curls. Solid first workout of the year gonna keep up the intensity!

Berz out.

Just came back from my first morning workout of the year
Deadlifted 345 x 1 @ 132... used straps and a belt

Had a shoulder re-alignment done over the Xmas break, my sister is an athletic therapist and osteopath and she's been treating me since my shoulder separation in May. Turns out I have overdone my shoulder and chest, and my muscles are causing my bones and joints up and forward more than they should be. Almost like a forced slouch that I can't see even when standing up straight with my shoulders back. So even though my back is decent I really need to build some lats to help pull everything back into alignment. She said my upper and lower traps were way overbuilt. I think she's just mirin'

But, just goes to show that balance in your workout is important. There can be a lot going on beneath the surface that you don't realize. I would encourage everyone here that's really into training, especially the heavy lifters, to get yourself checked out by a physio or the like once in a while just to keep informed of what's going on with your bones and joints. Would hate to see anyone end up with some problems down the line that could be easily preventable

On that note, a girl I recognized as one of my friends fellow competitors in the WBFF was working out at my gym lastnight. She looked alright in pictures but when I saw her in person she was a bit Hopefully it was just an off day haha.

Spoiler!

Oh and Ian, I worked out @ Commonwealth for years before I moved to Van. I went there again during the Xmas break while I was visiting my parents and had a laugh at the gym. Equipment is so old and shitkicked, and the machines don't do a lot of weight. I was maxing them out doing an arm workout...... the highschoolers were jelly

No kidding! Too bad I didn't run into you. Yah the machines are awful. I mainly use the squat rack and dumbells. I only go there because I live next door and have one year left on my $25/month student rate
