aj_rock Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 You're a good bloke AJ. It was an insightful revelation to have. Much to learn I have.I'll get a nice line graph up after brekky with a guesstimate at my starting numbers as an initial point.I also LOLed a few times at the shenanigans in the old thread, funny timesOne day we'll have a pint over it. One day. Quote Why must I put a name on the foods I choose to eat and how I choose to eat them? Rather than tell people that I eat according to someone else's arbitrary rules, I'd rather just tell them, I eat healthy. And no, my diet does not have a name.My daily battle log! Link to comment

katscratch Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 AJ the wise!! I seem to remember a lot more life-related issues with not being able to lift than you flat out stalling on lifts. Holy smokes, you're obviously a great mentor! Near bodyweight bench for your young padawan already! Quote Link to comment

aj_rock Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Shucks guys, PatG over here is supposed to be the focus Give yourself some credit though; you tell the fella what to do, the fella does what you said, the fella sees progress. That sounds like good coaching to me. If you do collect all my little rantings all over this site though, I promise to give you a % of the profits from the inevitable aj_rock'isms book that will follow.

Followed the advice, upped my cadence to close to 180bpm and managed to stay running the entire time without my calves seizing on me. ANOTHER BOOM.

aj_rock Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Squats: form looks good, slow down on the way down. Eccentric contraction is what builds muscle. Bench: Looks good to me. But I'm also not a bench master. Deads: Ok big problems here boyoh. You need to get your ass lower on the initial pull. Your back is basically horizontal at the start of the lift, which causes some mucho rounding and makes your lift a two parter, where you straighten your legs first and then pull up the back.
