and umb are you sure your squat position is A+?? it shouldn't hurt your back, i squatted too much once using proper form and i just couldn't walk because my butt and thighs were in so much pain lol. this video showed me a great tip, the whole thing is good really, it's done by Ross from Friends, but the main tip that stuck with me is at 3:30 he gives an awesome tip to squeeze your glutes and that will make your position perfect near every time. it also might have something to do with you gettin' too low when you squat. this is why i love mirrors cause i drop it like its hot if i'm not paying attention.
It was pretty on point up until that fateful day! I do go ATG with my squats and I was using ratty old Chucks for lifting shoes but it was so long ago and I can't remember what happened 100%. Honest to God, I was doing OHP in the rack because I had the gym to myself so I was placing the micro plates next to me so I can increase the weight after every set and the gym instructor comes over and starts awkwardly racking the plates. I came back to a notice on the mirror directly in front of me saying something like "WHILST YOU'RE ADMIRING YOURSELF MAKE SURE TO PUT THE PLATES BACK OR I'LL GET THE GIRLS TO DO IT". So it turns out that he's a dick. So that sign is really distracting during squats and is more of a safety breach... Squats are going slow though atm, like you said with the form thing, it was probably off so I'm making sure to squat light and watch my form whilst listening to my body (especially my knees). Was torn on dropping them all together but you've gotta keep the glutes for the ladies and it looks odd if you don't train them when you train everything else.
see if u can find a free bench and box squat it (like squats but ur butt sits down on the bench almost), havin something where ur butt is deffo helps. i was doing accidental butt contact w/ my bed during my squats and whoops it turns out it helps out 1040324823908 percent cos my body is an idiotps: sorry you got a roided out gym administrator. if it helps he probably shrunk his tackle thru steroid abuse and is Insecure about it.
He's not even on roids! He looks like a sports dad who never takes their track jacket off lol. He doesn't even look like he lifts either? He could easily be the receptionist's father.
The whole "I'LL GET THE GIRLS TO DO IT" thing rubbed me the wrong way tbh since the girls at reception are almost always doing something but he just sits in the gym for an hour a day doing nothing except plastering the mirrors in laminated signs (I guess he failed his graphics design course or something) when he should really be training people.
Because when your asthma's as bad as mine that's all I can do. I've dropped from a 36'' waist to a 32 in three months. Having all those viral infections probably helped though...
Thanks for the tip, but I don't think it'll help. I blew 350 on my last peak flow and the nurse reckons I should be blowing double that.
so??????????? what are you doing to contest that peak flow? you've had a spirometry, right? have you tried a respiflo? (specifically designed for post-operative respiratory rehabilitation). did you even look up what an ultrabreathe/shaker was? what does your local respiratory clinic say? is it asthma or undiagnosed COPD? have you gone for a sputum test to rule out the chronic low-level infection that you can get with badly controlled asthma? had an ECG and all that done to rule out heart problems? what respiratory physio exercises do you do?
