Comments: will do abs tonight.. gotta start not neglecting them as much as it seems i always have a reason not to hit them directly. Light squat day today was easy as it should be, but i felt my groin a bit more than usual during them. Any ideas? Cleans were great, but my form was a bit inconsistent on the 3rd set with 135 so i only stuck to 2 reps per set- i am going to stick to 135 until i get my form more consistent. It also scraped up my knee a bit. Front squats were great!!! (fucking love em). Skulls were ok as well, and i HATE SLDL even though i had to leave early.

Questions: any ideas on why i felt it in my groin during back squats and what i should do in place of SLDLs? I was thinking of doing GHRs but there is nowhere in my gym to do them (small, yet crowded gym), so maybe leg curls or something else but i hate machines. How about bulgarian split squats/lunges? I know lunges hit hamstrings harder and bulgarian split squats are more of a squat lol, but i wanna give them a try.

thanks

you could do good mornings instead of RDL, if it it comes to it just some heavy lying leg curls.

for abs just do weighted declines and hanging leg raise, maybe do one on monday for 3-4 sets and the other on fridays for 3-4 sets

you could also do any of the following:
weighted side bend
plank
russian twist
ab wheel
pulldown abs
needsize abs

yeah i am fine with abs- just no time to do them today.

Don't want to try good mornings either- looks like overall a very strange movement and i have no desire to do them.

I would give the good mornings a try, honestly I went from doing 135x8 to 215x5 and my deadlift shot up, I would say good mornings really helped.

Sometimes when you are sore and hurting you tend to feel small pains in your hips and groin region - especially when you're relatively new to weightlifting.

Do not do Good Mornings. You don't need such a complex movement with the weights you are lifting. Learn how to do Romanian Deadlifts.

good mornings are GAY lolol and the pain thing youre talking about is just a nag nothing big. I get those all the time when im doing bb lunges, granted i go heavy (275lbs) and i almost fall over which isnt good but it eventually goes away. I get em all the time

I do my deadlifts with my hips high so i basically doi a miz between conventional deads and romanian deads. I like it a lot

what always gets my hammies fried is

deep squats
HEAVY bb lunges
GHR's
romanian deadlifts

 

[JDid23]

yeah i might just do lunges....

i might be playing basketball tonight, so i am thinking about lifting beforehand- i'll be tired for basketball but who cares- maybe just get in my deads and bench if i can..

thinking this way because it's supposed to snow like fucking crazy here tomorrow and then i am leaving on Thursday for FLA

 

[JDid23]

fucking snow put me in today so i just worked out at home.... and i am sweating fucking bullets and tired as hell. Today i did some shit with a deck of cards (only used half the deck because i was exhausted- will save the 2nd half for my brothers workout and come up w/ something for him).


Red card
Door pullups (1/2 of card, round down if odd number)
Pushups
Renegade Row (round up if odd number)- 6 lb DBs
dips with feet on chair, hands on bed--- switched to skulls with 6 lb DBs about halfway through

Black card
Squat
Lunge (round up if odd number)
Calf Raises
Bulgarian Split Squat (round down if odd number)

Abs every other with leg raises, crunches, reverse crunches- stopped after 10 cards though.


I did 26 cards and got a lot of high ones.

May or may not get to the gym tomorrow because i am going to FLA 2morrow night, but my grandma (i think almost 80 now!) has been going to a "health spa" to workout so i am going to go with her and just hope that they have barbells and weight If not i'll have to improvise.
