Mate they took me ages to learn...probably two years

I train cross fit style which basically means heaps of reps with NO breaks. They are terribly hard to learn (as you can hear the guy say in the video) and believe it or not I was actually forced to learn due to the number of reps I was doing AND the fatigue factor.

Ironic thing is....the more fatigued you are the easier it is to learn how to do them. I used to do 24kg kettle bell swing before hand so shoulders would be busted then jump straight up and aim for 15 chins. Doing this for 6 months and I finally learnt.

Now that Ive been doing them for 2 years I decided to go back to basics and get the 'full' extension down the bottom (more like the chick on the right in vid as opposed the the other two

Hahaha and a definite no on the gymnastics there mate

that is fucking impressive dude. i'm just doing regular weights sessions at the moment, doing 8-10 reps a set for 3 sets each exercise. i skipped chins tonight and was completely headache-free, even did 2 sets of 10 reps of 100kg bench press (i'm sure that's pissweak to you but my best so far) and was okay. a bit scared to get back into some chin up action, but it may have been a one-off i guess. will get back on the horse tomorrow. cheers for the info champ - i'll see you in adelaide; must share a beer.

First day working out after 3 days off in a row because of the flu. Did one of my easiest workouts and STRUGGLED to get through. Cardio wasn't so bad, but I feel like I have no strength left. Ugh

Jwmcc

Yeah this has been a lost week so far, haven't felt this ill in nearly three years. I had a setlist written out Monday night to do Tuesday but the seconds I finished writing it took a turn for the worse. :evil: Hope to get over this enough by the weekend to do something, anything.

For sure big fella always up for a beer :P

To be honest I aint done bench press for years. Pretty sure I couldnt bench 100kg from memory. I very rarely lifts weights (except for deadlifts and thrusters). Mainly own body weight stuff

Day off today

Outside running in suburban/urban areas. Approximately 30-50 degrees, possibly dark. Any suggestions on clothes?

Get a reflective vest or carry a small flashlight, you need to be visible for drivers are careless. At least here in America

Clothing, I always run in shorts unless the temperature drops below 20, then I'll add tights.

The key to comfortable running is keeping the core (your chest and stomach area) warm along with your head and hands.

When it's below 40 I wear a hat that covers my ears, the majority of your body heat leaves via your head.

I also add gloves 40 and below. This includes the wind chill. Meaning a 50 windy day will feel like 30 very quick without the sun light.

I love the under armor brand. I wear a long sleeve tight UA shirt with a vest on the cold days.

Hope that helps.

Remember no tights until the temperature goes south of 20 as long as you have a hat, gloves, and core is double layered.

Happy running.

fucking fuck it...
alright, i know this isn't a "tell us about your latest gym mishap or injury" thread, but it just so happens that on friday afternoon i was doing my thing and towards the end of the weights session i was doing some lateral raises and on about the 3rd one something tore and my right shoulder has been giving me agony since then. so there goes my good run with weight training down the toilet - will prob need a few months off harder upper body stuff now. sucks, but there are worse things that could happen after all, and it'll be an excuse to finally do some of that cardio i've been wanting to do... and there's a pearl jam tour upon us so who cares?! good debrief, thanks

I have been in your shoes half a dozen times... sucks big time.

Everytime I got to the point where I thought I should go big... I went bust. Happened either in the gym or on my own doing odd things. One of the two major setbacks was throwing long fly balls for my little league baseball team. Stretched something in my right arm that still aint right, and that was 4-5 years ago. The other major blow was blowing out my knee last October trying to tune in the radio so I could hear game 3 of the World Series. Now both knees hurt most of the time...

I guess my bright side was I did see PJ 3 times this fall and my knees held up!

thanks Given to... injuries are a bastard hey - so unexpected a lot of the time, especially it seems with weight training. just wish i'd had some warning so i could just not have done that exercise on fri, but as you say can happen doing other stuff anyway. i guess we all just end up with something that's a little compromised and we have to work around. but geez we're lucky to be even able to use our bodies like this in the first place eh - i'm conscious of never taking it for granted. bring on pj aus tour - only 9 days til adelaide for me!

Does this have anything to do with how you were feeling the other day?

Not your rotator cuff is it?

nothing to do with the other day, but it is my right shoulder and i have dislocated it and had a reconstruction before, so rotator cuff's pretty weak. think it might be subscapularis muscle? tour so close now!!!
