My Training Log

LOL NP sista!
When you do em just keep your weight on your heels. Dont just bend forward.
Do it like this,
Going down.
Stand erect with the bbl in your palms, mixed or overhand grip.
Push your butt backwards like your trying to reach out and touch someone.
While doing that you will naturally bend forward and thats fine.
Keep you back flat or a slight negative curve in your spine, but dont emphasize this.
Keep your knees str8.

Going back up.
Dont just stand up!
Push your butt forward. To me it makes more sense to say "pull your butt forward".
While doing this your trunk will wanna rise and thats fine it should.
Keep your back flat.
Keep your knees str8.

After you do a few of em you can see in your mind this all happening from the glutes and hams.

Your pelvis will deff travel a pretty good distance, its supposed to. If its not then you arent doing them properly.
Let me know if you dont get this.

currently im doing them as what im told is called 'ass to grass'. past 90 with a slightly widerthan shoulder width. does that sound right? my trouble w/ the squats is that ive had my capsule in my left shoulder tightened so i cant reach my left hand all the way back to the bar without my elbow being elevated.

Wow D!! I didn't know you had asthma!! Is that by zed calls you sugazombie!? How is your asthma with lifting? Ever flair up? Also look at you killing it in the 800 meters. Knew there was a runner in there somewhere!! Love ya D!!

Lol yeah chic Zed calls me that's as I can do cardio at 30bpm lmao.
If I forget to take my morning inhaler it makes lifting ten times harder for me. It's quite controlled now though I just don't Push myself too much during cardio I do totally miss running I compensate with cycling though just take it slowly,
Sports was the only thing I was interested in at school lol wish I could turn bk time I woulda stuck in at school. I was a rogue instead lol.

asthma is whole different element that can completely change a workout for me.

If your lower bod is flexi enough to do them then more power to you chika!
I know the shoulder thingy too. I had a tater cuff repair and they left my super tight too. So all I can tell you is that if you can make it work for you then go for it.

As for me it takes me a bit to get that shoulder stretched enough to put my hands on the squat bar so it isnt painful.

ok Zed i watched the video d posted on her log. thats how im doing them. ill attempt to video one day

 

[Jen10]

Glad you someone knows what I mean w/ the shoulder problem!!! Noone ever seems to understand. Yeah I look funny doing them. But it's getting more flexible the more I do them
