Re: Treils 2006 Competition Log
Yeah..that depends on the relative length of upper/lower body - ratio stuff.
If you are finding that stress is slowly moving form the hams to the back - try Keystone deads:
With barbell in hand, poke both your butt and belly outward. In this position, you look kind of like one of the "Keystone Cops" you see in the 1920s movies. This variation of stiff-legged deadlifts has thus become known as "Keystone Deadlifts."
This seemingly strange position will pre-stretch your hamstrings because of the forward tilt of your pelvis the position entails. Then, while maintaining this position, slowly lower the barbell to around your knees, keeping the bar close to your legs during the descent and ascent.
You must NOT go more than an inch or two below your knees. By the time you reach your (slightly unlocked) knees, your hip joints have fully flexed, and any further lowering of the bar is accomplished ONLY through eccentric hyperflexion of your spine -- a NO-NO!
You will feel a decided "burn" in your hams and glutes when keystones are done correctly. You should feel virtually no discomfort or stress in your lower back.
If you do, experiment with the movement until you feel no discomfort at all. Invariably, a slight adjustment in your position will correct the problem.
The nice thing about doing stiff legged deadlifts this way is that you can use a far heavier weight, thereby getting better adaptive stress applied to the targeted hamstring muscles. All without any low back trauma at all!
^^Try those next time...

Mood= good
Soreness = back, glutes, bit in upper traps, abs (not as bad as last week in the abs)
weight = 156.6
Food = the same
Tonight= Back day
2 Creepy guys at the gym last night on friggen calf machines side by side. SBT and I were doing hanging lat stretches and obviously I have a mirror in front of me and can see everything behind me. Well the guy was looking at his friend and acting like he was uhmm... doing me on the calf machine and his friend was laughing. So SBT comes over and I told her and she said,"Yeah they did that to me too." Blehhhh they were not that great looking and got some dirty looks that's 4 sure. People wonder why women don't want to work-out. Either the men do that stupid stuff, or the women go looking like make-up hussy's asking for it and ruin it for the rest of us. Good thing I was mellow....
Used sponge roller and rolled out quads and TFL last night feels much better now, although sweat came over me on a few knots and the thought of passing out.

Hey Treil! I hope you're feeling more rested today and that you can get a good workout done.
I'd say that even attempting 305 for DLs is a feat in itself. Your strength is insane!
to the gym guys. I've toyed with the thought of wearing sweats, a hoodie, a mask, and headphones to the gym. Dudes just don't know what is and is not appropriate.

Funny though u mention sweats. There is this guy at the gym that thinks he's all that... Well everytime SBT and I see him he wears the same dang sweats. I mean day after day. So now he is dubbed 'Sweats'
We just laugh and say, "there goes Sweats!"
