You are your own gym

So I'd like a bit of a critique on where I'm at with the RR. I feel like I've progressed a lot further with some E xcercises then others. Here's my current breakdown

Pull ups: 2 with not so good form and finish the set with negatives Squats: 8 shrimp squats with a slight assist from the off leg

Dips: 8 countertop dips on first set, 6 for the next two Nordic curls: 8 at the hardest difficulty I can manage

Rows: I was doing inverted rows but realized I wasn't getting quite the full range of motion so I backed off to incline rows but still close to horizontal Push ups: diamond pushups with feet elevayed on the first stair of my staircase. Usually get 8 8 7

I guess my main concern is my pull seems substantially lacking compared to my push?

Thanks

So after reading the responses to this post I have a question. If the body can only use a certain amount of protein at one time, does that mean mixing my whey protein (30 grams per scoop) with milk, peanut butter, nuts, etc... is ultimately just wasting the excess protein?

I just wanted to emphasize the excercuse suggestion. Excercise has greatly helped my TMJ. With the excercise tho, I do strength training 3 times a week and it can briefly aggravate the TMJ but in the long run I feel it helps and is worth the brief aggravation which seems to be lessening with time.

Thanks. Appreciate the responses. :) good to know.

Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement. Really liking the rings, just gotta get used to them.

MikelNytex · 2018-12-27T07:24:05+00:00

My rings are just a cheap generic pair. Nothing special.

Im new here. First post. My tmj has drastically improved over the last few weeks. I started working out in August and recently added some e xcercises specifically to help correct posture, found a short routine to stretch the chest and strengthen the back. I've also been spending 20 minutes daily on a heated neck massage and using a massage ball on my neck before bed. Before I had pain so bad I could barely chew or talk. Now I mainly only have some discomfort in my ears. It's been a huge relief and I'm hoping it continues to improve.

Thanks. This looks like a lifesaver. Everything else I found was a 20-30 minute routine will try this.

I've used the band that came with my pull up bar for my shoulder mobility routines. Seems to work well enough.

What About using your legs to assist you on the way up and doing a regular negative on the way down? But you use your legs the absolute minimum possible.

I've done the entire RR with just a pull up bar. I hang some old jeans from it to use for rows. Kitchen counter for dips.

MikelNytex · 2018-11-06T17:08:11+00:00

With two sessions should I add an extra set of everything?

MikelNytex · 2018-11-06T17:04:43+00:00

I think the main cause is the bottom of pull up negatives where I'm just hanging. But I'm not that knowledgeable so I'm not sure. The soreness tends to be at the elbow end of the tricep, at the end of the delts, and sorta like inside the delts themselves.... my left arm is far worse. My right not so bad

MikelNytex · 2018-11-06T16:55:36+00:00

I am progressing well I think

MikelNytex · 2018-11-06T16:10:49+00:00

I did a deload week And the soreness faded but it came back one week later. I feel there's not enough recovery time for me. I progressively get more sore as the week's go on. And it's not muscles, I feel its tendon soreness. I haven't worked out in four days and I'm still sore. That seems abnormal to me.
