I may be mistaken but I thought it was DB RDLs at those rep ranges in Strong Curves rather than deadlifts.

Actually, I think that's just the early stages. Probably has deadlifts in there at some stage

Barbells are introduced from week 5, first Romanian Deadlifts and then American deadlifts, weeks 9-12. Forgive my ignorance, but are these different to regular deadlifts in terms of recommended rep range?

Brian?

Very different. But my opinion about the rep ranges holds true.

A barbell deadlift starts at the floor with knees bent far more than the variations you've done.

Leistung 16 ii's in blue&white €85.

Excellent deal and they actually have some of the popular sizes (for men anyway) left.

I was down to 2 pairs of Powerlifts.

Then I bought the laces and brought the black pair back into play.

I did end up buying shorts though

Well I ordered my actual/normal size in the powerlifts as I was not sure tbh after reading the reviews though I have quite a wide foot so maybe it will be ok - can see me having to send them back and wait for the next sale, but at least I will then definitely know then I need a half size smaller. Do you find the half size smaller is the best option with the powerlifts?

If they are totally different shoes then they 100% don't count as excessive purchases. I mean they would be different colours and everything like!

I only have one pair of powerlifts which are the smaller size and I've never known any differerent. They feel fine on me though. I suppose it's true you don't want any risk of your foot slipping

I'd just buy your regular shoe size. I'm a 10 in pretty much everything and a size 10 Adipower fits me perfectly. Tried a 9.5 and it was too small, couldn't split jerk properly in them.

Thanks guys - hopefully they will fit when they arrive anyway!

Anyone know of an app where i can set timed intervals but also dispalys my HR from my HR monitor?

Blacktie.

O when will I learn. My thought process below a few weeks after a back tweak.

My back is fine just a small bit twingey. Must be completely healed. 65% deadlifts are nice and light to start back on too so I'll be grand.

OMG I can't put my left leg on the ground. Where are the drugs!

And that's me out of the gym for 2 weeks.

Your heart rate monitor possibly does both.

Ah diphene is helping an awful lot. I think the not being able to walk at first was just everything locking up super tight. That and my sciatic going crazy. I had planned to take a week off next week anyway so this just means it'll be a bit early.

It happens!

I was doing some double pause deads last Monday with 75% for easy doubles ahead of testing on Wednesday and managed to shear a disc and hurt a facet joint locking out my last rep.

Just about got my motorbike home, couldn't walk at all for about three days, then managed to walk but not be able to stand up correctly til Sunday, missed the entire week of work because was stuck on the sitting room floor eating pain killers like sweets.

Am still sore, was 12 weeks into the Sheiko 20 week programme and on target nicely for a great comp, now all I want from life is to be able to take a dump without pain :rolleyes:

Bye bye sheiko, bye bye comp (probably)

F*ck it though all you can do is laugh really, be grand .

Damn this sounds much worse!

Funnily enough the diphene seems to have sorted me out. It's better than it was before the re occurrence yesterday! Still gonna just give it a break for a few weeks anyway.

Hope you recover soon man.

Difene, codeine and paracetomol didn't make a dent tbh so I'm not taking anything now. Still managed a 160kg bench yesterday lol so all is good. I expect to be back doing some form of lower body training next week

You need neurofen plus for nerve pain or something with ibuprofen.

Difene and ibuprofen are NSAIDs. What makes ibuprofen more effective for nerve pain?

Codeine (an opiate)

Codeine is in Nurofen Plus.

But if you buy generic ibuprofen it doesn't contain codeine so I was wondering why 'something with ibuprofen' would be more effective.

He said neurofen plus though. The genetic stuff comes with codeine too if you ask for it.

Just seen COH said codine wasnt working though. Not sure what to try after that. Heroin maybe

He said "neurofen plus for nerve pain or something with ibuprofen" and I'm not questioning him, I was just curious...because I love drugs.

Anyone here regularly doing reverse hypers for their back?

I find them great.
