Are we talking Kinesio-taping or regular taping?

And hi again! Long time no see. Those rugby injury stats are HORRIBLE. I'd be terrified to join.
Looking up Poliquin's Klatt test now. This will be an interesting addition to my new arsenal.

I still wish we lived closer to each other. I could fix you up and you could help me train. *le sigh*

We would be the dream team! We could start e-dating (serious!).

The stats ARE horrible. I've proposed a rule against playing within 6 weeks after a shoulder luxation, a tape sale concept, and I want to have taping protocols installed. I also notified the trainer (who is awesome) about postural stuff I noticed (scapular winging all over the place, inferior scapular angles popping out everywhere as well.. I'm thinking that explains why we have huge shoulder injury rates. Compared to rugby league stats and rugby union stats I found, Hamstrings should be top. We have shoulders and ankles as our major issues + general rates)

[Euqinom]

Are we talking Kinesio-taping or regular taping?

Kinesio for ankles, I found a really good wrap that 's easy and quick and the guys I tried it on loved it. I still use athletic tape as well for ankles if that's what the guys bring and a guy wanted me to try a shoulder set up with athletic tape as well. I use athletic for thumbs as well, but most guys refuse to have that done up to now.

*Viking proposed lifting together this weekend. I was like: "WHUT?!". Not sure what I think about that, to be honest. I sort of don't want to. It's sort of too little too late, you know?*

[Euqinom]

Whoop!

I decided to throw deadlifts back in, as I noticed I started having posterior chain issues and thinking back, thats been going on since I dropped them. My legs feel warm and wellblooded now, that's a great sign!
I did a measly 90kgs 5/5, but I love the feel! It's going to be a long road back!
Then pull ups 5/4
Dips 5/5
KB Swings 28kgs, 20 reps
Dead Bugs 10.

Also talked to a pretty looking Polish guy.

[nvrstopworking]

Viking?? Da fuq? He's still around?

Polish guy = "pretty"? Is that a good thing or a bad thing lol....?

[Euqinom]

Viking?? Da fuq? He's still around?

Well... We haven't met up in the past six months (erm...). And he proposed dinner, and yesterday proposed a shared workout. I don't want to. The 'Da Fuq' is appropriate here, my thoughts exactly.

Polish Guy = good thing. :P

[nvrstopworking]

Well don't feel as if you're obligated. From what I remember he was a bit of a cawk before so perhaps a quick coffee is all he's entitled to (if that).

I've seen many Polish girls that made me HNNNNNNG.... can't I know much about Polish guys so I'll take your word for it.

[Euqinom]

HNNNNNNG....

I sort of have an audiofragment in my brain when I read that.

[Euqinom]

Cawk:
An opaque, compact variety of barite, or heavy spar

[Fightingenetics]

Ha! Here, try this one (unless you're being snarky and, in that case, ha again):

But, more seriously, eff Viking. While having a good training partner is awesome, I would say he no longer qualifies.

[Euqinom]

Totally being snarky.

Hey, what did you think about us e-dating?

Why you cheeky little......

[Fightingenetics]

I think it would be awesome actually! PM me or somethin! So funny that you followed up on that because I just remembered and came back to comment on it.

[Euqinom]

So, I kindly replied that I did not want to meet up in my gym, because I would be answering questions for months on end about his presence, and I added that I wondered why, after over two years, we could meet up in a gym now all of a sudden. That it made me feel restless.

His response was that he didn't think it through.

Oh well...





FG± it´s coming your way!

update: incredibly sore from Deads!!!

Found this picture via Czech Guy, who organized the national championships Ropeclimbing in Prague. I think it is such a great shot!

[RyouBakua]

wow. some log you got going here

[Euqinom]

YAY! ANOTHER Workout!

Deads felt WAY easier this time, still 90kgs, 5/5
Pull Ups 5/5
Dips 5/5
KB Snatches 16kgs, 12/12 (WHOOT!)
and Dead Bugs 10x

Got feedback on my snatches, the were good but not perfect. Not sure what to do with it, as the guy has hypermobile shoulders due to multiple dislocations, but I can see how far I get. I can't believe that deadlifts actually seem to be the cure to my injury! I LOVE IT!

Know what kinda sucks? that the guys that get injured or re-injure themselves tend to feel like my responsibility. Meh.

[Euqinom]

@Rybakou : HI!

Burnt my oatmeal. Again.

*sigh*

[Euqinom]

Workout early this morning.

Warmed up doing 20kg overhead squat 3x5,
then did deads, 92kgs 5/5
Pull Ups 5/5
Dips 5/5
KB Snatches 10/10
and Dead Bugs, really need to work on lowering my speed on these.

[tina722]

Did you restart the 40 days of easy strength or just switch out exercises?

can't believe you are going to do deads everyday!! but that's cool that they fix your injury. also, i looked up deadbug. lol. gotta try this - i can never do a 'flat back' very well.

I just switched exercises and will keep this up until then end of the year, regroup and rethink and start over. Deads are just over 55% load, so I guess it's not too impossible.
The trick with dead bugs is to really limit the range of motion to where you're starting to arch. Most people in my group LOVE to do a full range, despite having no capacity yet to do so. Also, the timing is crucial as is repspeed.

I'm excited to see what it does as well.. We'll see! I noticed that BW windmills gave me s ore muscles, so I figured that I should be paying more attention to those.

[Fightingenetics]

/begin Pilates rant - Dead bug looks like a Pilates duplicate to me. Same philosophies in practice but way simplified. I like it.

If you ever want to progress the exercise (when pelvis is stabilized as you increase ROM), here is an example. She takes it in a little too far in for my liking but she's also very advanced in her practice. For most people, I like the hip flexors to be 90 degrees, aka table top position, like the dead bug presentation. She explains it as the beginning to the stomach series because it promotes healthy digestion while strengthening the powerhouse muscles /end Pilates rant:



Excited to hear how you progress with your injury with the deadlifts included. I'm assuming you're doing standard and not stiff leg?

[Euqinom]

I do RDL's in warming up, and conventional for working sets. I've been playing with the thought of deadlifting t hem up and RDL'ing them down. But I really love deadlifting.

So far, so good! Will check vid at home! THANKS!!!!!

[Fightingenetics]

I always find that my grip fails before the rest of me does. I like deads but I get frustrated with that.

~300lb dedlift?? (i did the math in my head so i could be off. sorry if it's less or more)

still... for 90kg to be ~55% mind = blown.

i have a contentious relationship with deadlifts. i love them like a teen girl crushes on the badboy. they're so mean to me and it makes me pine for them even more.

also so glad i looked up deadbug. i'm gonna do them tonight instead of the situps. which i was sort of dreading doing.

I finallly found my abs/core book. In the next day or two, I will email you with links to different workouts it recommends. Whether you do them or not is up to you.

Loads and loads of pull ups, rows, KB work, etc. will fix that for you!

THANKS!!! Yeah, I think my heaviest pull was 160/165 at some point. 155 for conventional, raw.

Be slow and over-strict about arching, and they're great!

*cough* Please? Pretty please?


Went to the rugby club yesterday. Came home frozen. I'm ambivalent about my stuff there. Happy to see they implement my recommendations, but it's frustrating that they don't tell me or don't give me credits for it. Also, the fitness committee does not include me, nor does the technical committee, and during their fitness hour last Sunday, the *******-captain did not invite me. THAT's stuff I want to do. I don't mind taping, or telling people what I think they should do about their injuries, but I offered to work as a strength coach at the campus club..

Furthermore: the club's organisation is VERY young and does not communicate well at all, which is frustrating. I have emailed them about me volunteering with them, and asked if we could have a meeting to outline my tasks and responsibilities. The secretary deleted it because she didn't know what I was talking about. [/sigh]

On a less frustrated note: offered one guy to help him change his style of running, made sure another had two guys there to tape him, and the third 'almost' luxated his shoulder: notified trainer and Good Captain, and recommended to refrain from playing this match.

Another workout!

spent a bit more time warming up than yesterday

Overhead Squat 20kgs, 5/5
DL 90kgs 5/5
Pull Ups 5/5 (very few time in between sets)
Dips 5/5 (easy, but also very little time in between sets)
KB Snatches 5/5/5/5: poor technique
Pilates Abs: don't think I did these right. :S

[nvrstopworking]

Hallo 'nom!

I see that Deads are back in the mix..... how are you feeling with them?

Much better, actually!! Seems like my hip is back in balance again!

I've been recovering from injury since August, so I haven't maxed out or anything. I noticed I do get stronger fairly quickly on this program, but I'm sc ared to try just now. Will keep you updated!
