you gotta learn how to hinge at the hips...and keep your arch. i get a better arch when i stand up more...and it helps my upper back to not round.

The more vertical you can get your posture, the less strain there is on your low back. This is because it transfers more of the load into compression along the spine and less load causing it to bend out of its arch.

They were pretty slow. Until he gets more arch and fixes his bar position, it will put more stress on his lower back. That's why I didn't mention it, but you're right Monsta.

Faster, eh?

Ok, I thought the slower, the more controlled, the better..

I'm not quite sure how to get more vertical, but will look at some more clips of what it's SUPPOSED to look like..

Jan 27/08

First day of getting serious with the diet (again.. LOL)!

Weight: 230

Calories for the day: 2900 (F 25%, C 42%, P33%)

Protein: 240g.

Breakfast: Bran cereal with whey powder and blueberries (390 cal.)

Lunch: Fruit salad with cottage cheese (538 cal)

Pre WO meal: banana shake w/ peanut butter (348 cal)

Post WO: 70g of waxy maize, 40g of whey powder (400 cal)

Dinner: 2 stuffed peppers with beef, salad with dressing (870 cal?)

Snack: banana shake (348 cal)

Any suggestions as far as diet??

More cals per day? Less?

I'm 6'3", 230, I work out every 2nd day..


WORKOUT

5 min w/u run

SQUATS

95x5x2 (adding the weight of the bar from now on!!)
165x5x3

Angle isn't the greatest.. :(

Couldn't find anyone that wasn't busy..



PRESS

65x5x2
115x5x3 (going back 20lbs, as per Ross)

I can see I'm going to have to work on keeping the bouncing to a minimum, and keep my elbows forward more..

Bad angle again, I'm afraid..



CHIN-UPS

10, 5, 5

FRONT AND SIDE PLANKS

1 min, 30 sec, 30 sec.

(finger's crossed)

My knees aren't sore today, after squats!

Hopefully that will continue even when I start putting on the weight again..
