miss_marissa Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 THIS THEME IS THE BEST. I'm not even squidding. 21 hours ago, Deciduous said: Problem: Stress incontinence on heavy deadlifts and squats. The worst. If this doesn't work I need to stop wearing a belt/lifting so heavy which would be worse even worse than the worst. Challenge: Practice my physio exercises on warm-up sets every squat and deadlift day (2-3x per week) and during one savasana each yoga class (2-4x per week) Any chance you would feel comfortable sharing those exercises? I encounter the same issue in front tumbling. 4 Quote Current Challenge # 39 | #38 | #37 | #36 | #35 |#34 | #33 | #32 | #31 | #30 | #29 | #28 | #27 | #26 | #25 | # 24 | #23 | #22 | #21 | #20 | #19 | #18 | #17 | #16 | #15 | #14 | #13 | #12 | #11 | #10 | #9| #8 | #7 | #6 | #5 | #4 | #3 | #2 | #1 | Battle Log Instagram | Goodreads Link to comment

Grumble Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Breakfast - two thick cut bacon Lunch - rainbow trout fillet with big serving leftover Costco southwestern salad, too much dressing, on greens and Brussels plus two carrots and 1-2 little Costco pakora things (these were yucky) Snack pre-lifting - strawberry vega protein smoothie Dinner - dry rub ribs and carrot cashew raisin slaw on greens (mayo, pb, molasses, sesame oil) Snack pre-bed - casein with cashew milk That's the best breakfast ever. But I hope it tides you over enough, you otter eat a little more. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 2 Quote "You're going to be amazing."

Jord Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 16 hours ago, Deciduous said: OK I hope this applies to front tumbling, and isn't stuff everyone except me knew already.... I've had two appointments with a pelvic floor physio. She's given me a little info package, but the most helpful things so far have been: When I breathe in, my pelvic floor pushes down. This is why bracing against the belt is causing me trouble, my PF is dropping and kind of impossible to contract. My PF raises when I breathe out; if I lift all three parts (front, mid, back) when I breathe out then I'm contracting it. This was an interesting read, too: Pelvic Floor Guide for Women Who Lift I didn't love everything in here, or everything from the physio, but from the article the description of deep breathing to stretch your PF and changing your bracing technique were super helpful. The notes on having to wear your belt tighter if you aren't bracing into it was helpful, but the following squat description from my physio was better: "On the way down during the squat, lengthen (breathe in at top) your pelvic floor as your sit bones widen, and as you stand up, contract (breathe out) your pelvic floor to help you stand up again (without peeing)" So, exercises: during yoga when I'm just laying there I practice breathing in and relaxing (like a huge oblong balloon) and then breathing out and contracting and holding each for as long as I can (maybe a count of 5-10), and during lifting I'm working on changing my bracing during warm-ups for sure and during sets when my brain is thinking instead of just trying to get it done, which had always been breathe out into the belt and hold it. Now I do that and then to move "up" (start of deadlift, or bottom of squat) I start breathing out and pull my abs and PF up. I'm still super hit or miss with it, but when I get it right I feel wayyyy more powerful with that force pushing me up and way drier (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Thank you for this info! I don't have that specific problem YET. But I have a weak PF in general from my medical stuff and could definitely benefit from applying this knowledge to my life. I find rushing to the bathroom to be rather annoying. 2 Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment

raptron Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Octaculaaar challenge! I also have been looking into pelvic floor stuff and will be curious about your journey! I totes got that lifting pdf too in my search, but my problem is during high impact (see: tumbling, box jumps) than during lifting. I wonder if it is the same root cause or something a bit different? 3 Quote Raptron, alot assassin 67 | 66 | 65 | 64 | 63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 Link to comment

I meant to get in here earlier but got caught up trying to cuttlefish jokes out of my update! Yesterday made it to 30 min spin class (cardio✔) and then did overhead press and a carp tuna dumbbell arm/shoulder accessory lifts, it was a short week at the gym for me so did all the arm stuff from sumo deadlift day a swell (lifting✔). Today was deadlift day (lifting✔ orcaward practice✔); to be honest, I've been dreading it and was going to talk to my coach if it felt as rough as last week. Went in feeling physically good though and it went reely well, so that was great! Did dumbbell accessory lifts and heavy farmers carries. Food has been good! I am otter vegetables except frozen spinach right now, so need to remedy that tomorrow; this also accounts for my vegetable free dinner. Had my first treat this week too, and it was delicious. I'd been dreaming about chocolate cake the night before and then my friend showed up with gourmet cupcakes. Divine. Foods: Thursday Breakfast - sausage patty Lunch - sushi rolls! 3 smoked salmon nori rolls (wild rice, small avocado, cucumber, carrot, asparagus, wasabi/Tamari, pickled ginger) and a small serving of dry rub ribs Snack pre-lifting - strawberry vega smoothie Dinner - ribs and half a cucumber and some mushrooms, and 1/3 cup (dry) steel cut oats (with egg whites and spinach cooked in), topped with 1 cup Greek yogurt and 3 Tbsp (before whipping) heavy cream plus maple syrup Snack pre-bed - casein with cashew milk Friday Breakfast - sausage patty Lunch - rainbow trout fillet on greens/asparagus/zucchini/mushrooms/wild rice/olives with tahini and salsa Snack - super decadent chocolate salted caramel cupcake. Filled with caramel and the icing was as tall as the cupcake. This was really good. Dinner - two sausage patties and a can of tuna with wild rice and tahini Snack pre-bed - casein with Greek yogurt best update and best forum cartoon of the week hahaha. sometimes I skim read updates and I read all the way through yours. I'm glad deadlift went well. It sucks when a particular lift is causing you grief. don't forget to drink your water! This is a water challenge no? I also need help remembering my water. And a fish out of water is? 2 Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment
