Dealing With Injury

If you implement anything from this post, you do so at your own risk. Always consult with your physician before any kind of treatment.

The best way to avoid injury is to avoid inefficient technique and program effectively. Even subtle form issues can cause problem in the long-term, but especially so if the body is in a perpetual state of under-recovery. If the system and structures aren’t fully recovered, then they can exhibit issues like soreness and pain, but they can also be susceptible to an acute injury. If the structure isn’t 100% and is being used inefficiently, a sub-maximal repetition can cause damage; I talked about it in this post. In any case, do something wrong with a lack of recovery and it results in shit being jacked up. This post is just a brief review of how to deal with most injuries. If you’re suffering from injuries caused by someone else’s negligence, an injury lawyer can help you file a claim. It’s important to be aware of common mistakes to avoid in a personal injury claim to ensure the best chance for a successful outcome. With the right legal guidance, you can navigate the process smoothly and secure the compensation you deserve.

An injury law attorney has the necessary experience and skills that can help present your claim in a way that will increase your chances of getting the maximum amount of compensation. Contact a Detroit personal injury lawyer for expert legal assistance. You may also hire a slip and fall lawyer if you have been injured in a slip and fall accident.

Power Meets R’ Us

Chris and Mike did a meet this past weekend and Rory did one about a month ago. We’ll go in chronological order.

Rory had a goal of breaking the collegiate American squat record in the 198 lb class. Jacob went to the meet to touch himself watch, but Rory’s coach/handler didn’t show up! The fuck? After pulling his beard in rage, Jacob stepped in and did a swell job handling Rory in his record setting quest.

Rory primarily used a Smolov squat cycle to get his squat up and pretty much neglected the other lifts. It worked well for him as he broke the record with a 230k (507 lbs) squat on his second attempt, and then got some cues from Jacob to come back and increase his record to 235k (518 lbs):

Developing A Pull-up

Mondays consist of posts primarily for or about females.

Last Monday I put up a poll asking whether or not the ladies could do a dead hang pull-up. 34% are unable to, 58% can, and the remaining 8% can do a chin-up (underhand/supinated grip). This post focuses on some techniques that can be used to develop a chin or pull-up. But first we have to detail some points about mechanics.

Guys, if you’re bored, this vid is for you.

More impressive vid.
