STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

Rich Froning is a monster. Completely dominant. He should just retire just to make it fair.

************ is like a super human. :lol:
 
Dude doesn't even look like he struggles while the rest are literally dying, is not even fair :rofl:

Dude is retiring from the competitions after this year....ya gotta look up Samantha Briggs :wow:

She can go toe to toe with Fronning, well sort of....what I notice about Fronning is that he knows how to pace himself better than anyone else, he won't start off as the leader but he sure finishes as one.
 
I'm not a fan of Samantha Briggs. She sacrifices form for speed too much. Her deadlift form is disgusting for a top female crossfitter.

In fact, most of the top female crossfitters have terrible deadlift form when the goal is high rep, and some have horrendous cleans.

What I like about Froning is that he's not only fast, but his form never breaks down. Ever. Lol.

Did legs this morning, and I'm beat. I squatted for strength last week. I felt good this morning, so I squatted for strength again.

Those sets of 3 really help. Sets of 5 for strength are slowly getting phased out for me.

That's because you should never deadlift for high reps :lol:
 
Searching Samantha Briggs lead me to Christmas Abbot :wow:. But yeah i'd imagine you'd have to make compromises to your form deadlifting for high reps in a timed competition.

After a year and a half off, I'm back in the gym. Forearms are burning, chest is delicate right now but it feels good :lol:

I want advice on creating a routine though.

My right shoulder is rolled over which causes shoulder impingement in my right shoulder. My physio said its due to muscle imbalance, prioritizing pushing exercises has caused my chest to pull my shoulder since it's stronger than my back. (It's only happened to my right shoulder which is strange but I think it's has something to do with my job in IT which involves my right arm being in a stretched position for long periods holding the mouse which has caused my upper back to be harder to activate or fire up but I can't say for sure).

According to my physio, the exercises she gave me should help strengthen my back and shoulder ligaments to pull my shoulder back into place so my range of movement will be back to normal but it's been a while now since I stopped going to see her and nothing has really happened, but then again, my consistency has never been great so I'm aiming to fix it all now and I know it will take time but I'm in it for the long run.

I also have exercises to strengthen my knee and the muscles around it since I lost some strength in it after slipping doing squats.

The routine I drafted consist of warming up with rowing and band exercises to strengthen the shoulder joint then compound exercise to focus on strengthening my body as a whole but with more focus on my back to fix any imbalances as well as the knee and muscles that support it, bascially legs.I plan on doing 5x5 sets for strength and to avoid inflammation but I can always work through it if needed.

Just wanted to see what you guys recommend or what I should avoid.

Did I get drunk and type under another screen name? I have the same problems. My LEFT shoulder was injured by an arm bar and has never been the same. But I tend to notice certain exercises cause it to hurt and pull (tricep pull down, bench press, etc).

And I just had knee surgery about two months ago. My Physical therapist told me not to go past 45 degrees, same with leg presses.

Hopefully, someone in here can give good advice. But I'd definitely consult a physical therapist and get advice on exercises from a trainer.

My friend. If you want to include bodybuilders, you can't forget about Bella Falconi! Also, whoever mentioned Lais Deleon - that was a very good mention.. She isn't exactly a bodybuilder, nor a crossfitter, but she's a public fitness figure and if we're going by just hotness, she takes the cake.
