3 Wheels Baby!! Workout+Clips

[coolcolj]

thanks guys!

Well I'm getting very close to a double BW full squat, but still about 40-50lbs off, but by Christmass I'm confident I'lll have it
Yeah always do have a few reps in me, but in this case maybe only 1 - that's how I train

I actually thought the squats felt really slow, but looking at the clip, it doesn't seem to be the case

Yes Louden still have clips of myself failing on the 4th rep of 250lbs on 4 November 2002 - with a towel around the bar too

After cramping my left VMO and jarring my left middle erector area, I didn't think squats would go too well, add to that my abdductors feeling angry during the early warmup sets. But Once I got heavier everything felt good. I was tentative during the warmups and first set of 315, felt really nervous, plus my blood sugar started dropping and made me feel queezy, but I nailed em good and setup a PR!

Looks like you can do more weight next time!

Quoting Charles Poliquin

When there is a muscular imbalance, the body never lies. To test simply if there is a head of hamstrings that needs remedial specialization, select a weight you can do for 6RM in the Leg Curl with your feet in the neutral position. As you reach muscular failure, your feet will rotate in one direction if there is a lack of balance between the two heads of the hamstrings. If they turn towards the midline of the body (medial rotation) your semi-tendinosus and your semi membranosus are too strong for your biceps femoris. If they turn away from the midline of the body (lateral rotation), your biceps femoris is too strong for your semitendinosus and semimembranosus. When you turn your feet inward during leg curls, you also facilitate the recruitment of the gracilis.

First off nice squats!!

I have pulled my bicep femoralis twice now, once on the right and once on the left. My feet turn inward in this test you mentioned, and I have been aware of the imbalance since my last hamstring pull. I have not really found an effective way to correct this yet, what does Poliquin, or you for that matter recommend??

Well I guess your bicep femoris is the weak one. The best thing to bring that one up is glute ham raises on the floor. Sprinters use this to prevent ham pulls. It really hits the bicep femoris hard.

I used to do em a lot, but haven't recently.
Probbaly why mine is so strong vs the other hammie head

Nice job man. Like that ping huh?
