what was the exercise? bench press?

[-] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago

Bend-over-rows. I was using mainly my arms for it...

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It's not inherently bad that you've been doing that (so long as it didn't lead to injury), just means you're more arm dominant. Just relax your arms a bit next time and pull from your back

Ouch, there is a lot of potential to destroy your knees doing bench presses wrong

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 3 months ago

Your... knees!? Are you thinking of squats?

Ah don't worry about it. I've been working out since I was a kid and have fucked up so much it's ludicrous. When nobody tells you how to work out, you end up doing shit wrong. It's OK though, because just like life, it's one long slow learning process.

Like, I want to compete in a body building competition, and so I diligently went about my training regimen with renewed focus and determination. Started posing practice after each workout. Couple weeks before the show, I'm at 6% bodyfat, lookin good, feeling good. Then I think "wait a tick, in all my posing, I've never actually seen what my back pose looks like." So I went and set up a tripod and camera and took some shots and.... woof. My back is underdeveloped as shit. Look like a body builder from the front, and a lil' twink stick figure from the back.

So now I incorporate 3 more back exercises.

Also, I only ever started doing a regular Leg Day like 6 months ago (Just bicycled and ran before).

So, yeah. Now I've got a competition circled that's further out so I can focus on back, and hopefully by then I'll be ready. If not, oh well, just circle the next show on the ol' calendar.

PROGRESS

I feel bench press in my calves. Great pump

Yeah I did this way back with a different back exercise, rope pulldown. I had been taught the right way, slowly messed it up, then abruptly realized one day when someone pointed out that my arms were bent. Fixed my form and immediately injured myself because I did not consider that, without my arms, I should be doing a lower weight.
