Winterlong's Log

Thanks Adida, strength has been down lately - I haven't been eating right, sleep has been kind of off, etc etc. I just recently started picking up everything again.

bro is that a T-bar row or a bent over row? the wts read like a bent over.
T-bar is typically when you straddle a bar and all the wt is on one of the bar. and you pull it up toward you chest while the bar is used as a lever of sorts.


however nice back work.
 
It's a machine. It's a chest-supported t-bar row. It has 2handles and the handles are moveable - you can make it wider/narrower. It is almost like a traditional t-bar row, except I'm elevated, and on an angle.

& thanks adida :)
 
either the vice versa row or 2-handed rows. I find them to be lower back savers since they don't put any pressure on that area unlike the traditional t-bar row..though..varieties are good I suppose

I never tried traditional t-bar rows w.o the chest-support b/c I always thought that if you have one hand ontop of the other, you will be working that arm more than the one on the bottom.

Rotator Cuff Work

I just tweaked my anterior deltoid. I've been stretching it a lot since I got back from the gym. The reason I hurt it I think was b/c when I lifted the bar up from the rack, I was sitting too far down and when I got the bar off, it was too much pressure on my shoulder.

oh ok..the wt per side threw me off...
 
Yeah, good job, sucks about the shoulder...lots of stretching should do the trick
 
Shoulders injuries suck. I'm still not completely healed after 2 months since my rotator cuff got hurt. Be careful about hurting a tendon. Stretch is good.

Ouch Luq. :( Have you went to a doctor to check out the shoulder yet? If so, have you been on any medication to help it out?
 
Be careful with that shoulder Winter. From what i've read, a lot of the injuries occur when you try and lift the bar off the rack with heavy weight. Anything over 225 and I have someone unrack it for me b/c I feel a lot of stress on my delts when I try and lift it up then forward. Looking strong though!
