Crossy`s Log: Progression through Starrs 5 x 5

[SgtSlaughter]

I used to bitch and moan til' I passed out about my shoulder pain... then I started close gripping and tucking my elbows (corrected my shitty bench form)



Stay TIGHT as one whole unit throughout all movements.

That's great it's easy still for ya... week 5-7 somewhere in there it hit me and was hard... now (week 9) i'm pretty damn conditioned for a beastly workout (well minus deadlifting...that'd put me out of commision if I did it weekly, lol).

Keep at it bro! It's all about the principals behind the 5x5... keep increasing your lifts as long as you want. I don't use the spreadsheet anymore, that's what it's all about

Thanks for all the advice. Im pretty sure mine has stemmed from shitty form on the bench. But saying that i have a few things i need to get checked one near my neck just left of my spine. It dosent ache all the time just occasionly say when leaning over and supporting my body with my left arm i feel a twinge abit like something is rubbing, pins and needles sorta feeling for a brief few seconds. My shoulder has not been to bad will soon see on fridays lift as the same weight im lifting fri is when i last felt it.

Thanks again everyone

Pitbull my carbs are around 340grams at the minute give or take a few. I tend to eat lower carbs on non training days due to me wanting to stay lean as possible. But i just used Pintocas gainer calc and accoring to that im supposed to be eating over 400grams will check this out more tomorrow though as its just gone 1am here need to sleep some

Even with your neck Cross, you can do trigger pt techniqiue. Watch inadvertant/unnecessary tensing the neck when lifting... I do this ALL the time! GUILTY!!!

Just a thought here ... If your "non training days" are the day before your training, i.e. training mon wed fri, lower carb tues thurs sat etc ... when the w/o's get tougher & you feel TIRED/Out of gas (NOT that kind!) you may want to try to load up on carbs day BEFORE your training, even a little bump at 1st ... just a thought ... if you don't understand why ask me to 'splain. Gotta jet... enough of Bunny for the evening...

sorry Ive been MIA though

Im going to get the missus to try the neck rub (aka trigger pt techniqiue) tonight I am sorta doing my carbs the same as you mention at the minute good idea on introducing more on off days once my ass starts getting kicked in the gym.

I am not a clean bulk expert by any means but I think you need to eat big the day before a heavy training day. IMO

 

[pitbullrocco]

ok, yeah i saw that english bulldog in your profile....its all starting to come to me now....lol

i'm all about 60-100 really good slow burning carbs about 2 hours before workout. i never burn out if i do that.
