Hail 2 Da Chimp

Hey Banshee, what are your current goals and training routines?

Best of luck with the log

banshee_bones

Cheers for that.

To be honest, my training schedule and content wise is fairly ad-lib at the moment. Iv had some problems with my shoulder and I was focusing mainly on rehabbing that, my physio refuses to use the word "fixed" but it's about as good as its going to get so it's something I will always have to be wary of and the scap stuff will still play a fairly large role in my training.

The only solid goals I have at the moment are a 100KG deadlift, a BW squat and some unassisted pull ups. :pac:

Dotcomdolly

Oh goodie, another shoulder sufferer! Well I mean it's not really good but glad to have the company to moan to.:D

banshee_bones

Went out to IP today to get Will to have a look at my squat as I was having alot of discomfort with my shoulders. The words "fucking mess" were used. Got a prescription for more shoulder stretching and mobility work. I have been doing shoulder rehab stuff for about four months now so to say I am frustrated is an understatement.

IP Warm Up

Squat

Think it was probably about 8-10 sets of 5 reps, just with the bar, mostly concentrating on getting a comfortable positon with my grip working on getting my elbows down.

Went down at peak time today. Ugh. Just hateful. Wasnt in the mood to be standing around waiting for a rack and or a bench so left it at that.

banshee_bones

Felt a bad twinge taking off my cardigan tonight. . .this is not good.
Havent had a twinge like this in ages. I recall the last thing my physio said was something about my upper thoracic needing more flexion (sp?) she only neglected to tell me how to go about doing that :rolleyes:

Lunchtime Spin Class

90% of this was out of the saddle, lots of sprints too....

Hopefully deadlifting tomorrow YAY! :pac:

banshee_bones

Today

Bit of a meh day, I found out that RAW have removed some of their machines, was not a happy bunny when I copped that the chest supported row was gone. Used the next best thing, but it wasnt the same.

Leg Press

40KG x 8

80KG x 8

Did alot of messing around today, bit of bench, worked up to a 55KG Deadlift and threw in some YTWs at the end.

After the cycle I am going to get/do a proper structured programme. . . the days of faffing around and having fun are at an end.

banshee_bones

Residual legs doms from Saturday made for an interesting spin class tonight, I also discovered tonight that it is exactly a 27 minute walk to RAW from my house. At this rate my log should probably be called "Diary of a Cardio Whore" :rolleyes:

banshee_bones

Got outside on the bike today for the first time, had all the elements out hailstones inclusive to make getting used to the bike and all the gears and doing some hills a memorable experience.

I'm raising money for The Irish Guide Dogs For The Blind, so if anyone would like to sponsor me for the charity cycle, I can pm you the mycharity.ie link.

banshee_bones

Today

Cycled from Blackrock to Enniskerry.

Cycling in Dublin City has got to be the scariest thing I have ever encountered in my fucking life. Don't know how anyone does it tbh. Fair balls to anyone who manages it on a daily basis without getting killed.
