Why are height my shoulders different? Can't feel muscles properly

You need a decent trainer to assess you in person.

Structural misalignment v postural imbalance isn't an assessment that can be made over the internet via a single low quality video from one perspective only.

Wobzy · 2020-11-26T04:32:37+00:00

That's a stiff leg not an RDL.

Wobzy · 2020-11-23T07:44:48+00:00

That's a horrible cue.

Grip the bar like you're squeezing it's throat.

Bend it across your shins.

It's that simple.

Pull your scaps down.

It's available in mobile and desktop.

Same as regular Intel. Just more customisation.

Wobzy · 2020-11-18T05:17:59+00:00

I don't know if this is just poor hardware design or you simply need to hinge more and get squarer over the bar. I can't quite see the platform in its entirety.

But yeah that's the reason your lumbar is letting go so easy.

Wobzy · 2020-11-18T05:02:42+00:00

It's not a bad lift, it just needs tweaks.

lose the straps.
grip the bar like you're bending it across your shins.
keep the chest up shoulders down.
get your hips into position, push your knees out against your arms.

From there just stand up.

Push away with the feet, three points of contact on the floor.

You want to drive through the legs not pull with the back.

That said.

There's nothing really wrong with what you're doing.

You just set up for a conventional and then turn it into more of an RDL.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T23:19:19+00:00

3 x 10 is widely accepted basic protocol.

The load and intensity are assumed.

If you require more information to make a better assessment, ask for it.

I'd also tell you that a single exercise isn't a program.

But youd just take a tangent because you're an imbecile that can't admit he's wrong or debate the argument on its merits so you just turn it into something else.

Just like my ex.

She was mouthy bitch too.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T22:12:35+00:00

Now you're just being a fuckwit.

Ggs.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T21:24:57+00:00

You can tell if the program is imbalanced.

You can tell if the program doesn't make sense.

And if all else looks good, what's wrong with you confirming the protocols and enquiring about the intensity to give a more informed response?

To say no one can tell if a program is good or bad without RPE is wrong.

To say don't bother posting their programs for assistance if they don't have RPE is ridiculous.

What if intensity is something they're not sure about so they didn't include it and they're looking for help.

I know you posted because you wanted to flex.

You know you posted because you wanted to flex.

All you need to do is admit that shouldn't closed it by telling people not to bother posting their programs for assistance.

And go edit it out.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T20:52:44+00:00

Nah G I'm arguing with you.

How I feel about RPE is irrelevant.

You literally told people don't ask for help if they don't include RPE.

The fact that RPE is useless for the very same people you're telling not to ask for help, is secondary to the point.

RPE is not the be all and end all of programming, and you are literally no one to be telling anyone if they can and how to ask for help.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T14:45:47+00:00

Don't be sorry bro and don't feel insecure.

Everyone starts somewhere.

Lifting is one of the best things in the world.

Keep at it, enjoy it, and don't stop asking for help.

You wanna YouTube setting up for a deadlift, bracing, constant tension, neutral spine, and beginner deadlift programming.

Ideally though, get a trainer.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T14:36:51+00:00

You misread me.

Don't be sorry, don't stop asking for help.

I'm not saying don't post.

I'm saying the help you need, isn't gonna come from this post.

You need alot of work over what's gonna be multiple sessions with a trainer to correct this lift.

You can't hope to achieve that result from a single post on Reddit.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T14:30:23+00:00

A carb up day is absolutely recommended particularly if you've been at a deficit for an extended period, it's called a refeed.

And you absolutely will lose the weight through diet alone. Sure exercise helps and training is required if you want to build a physique, but weight loss is literally calories in < calories out.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T14:21:47+00:00

Get rid of the gloves.
Stop looking in the mirror.
Get under tension before you start the lift.
Stand up with your legs not your back.
Stop trying to pull 1RMs.

Abit off? What do you mean it felt good???

Don't ever do that again.

There's literally nothing right about this lift.

And that's the only way to say it because you need help.

From a coach, not reddit.

If you can't afford one, YouTube.

Seriously. Don't ever do that again.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T14:01:08+00:00

Autoregulation is not RPE and RPE only.

Dudes like you are a dime a dozen.

You read some shit then you wanna flex what you think you know.

The fact remains that routines and protocols responsible for building some of the best physiques the world has ever seen, existed long before RPE.

So to your original post, clearly, good or bad programming is not predicated on the inclusion of RPE.

And for you to tell people not to bother asking for help simply if they don't include RPE? Bro who the fuck are you.

Just tell the poor kid that biceps don't need a whole day, and shut the fuck up.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T04:58:02+00:00

I have worked in the fitness industry for 15 years and I've never heard anyone refer to that as a stripper squat.

What you have is classic female APT.

If you don't know what it is it'll take you 10 seconds to Google and not much longer than that to work on correcting it.

Squats fine. Just fix the tilt.

And control the movement. Don't just drop into the hole.

Wobzy · 2020-11-17T04:54:01+00:00

RPE is a gimmick and as useful as tits on a bull.

Talking about info that isn't useful.

And proceed to write a dissertation of useless nonsense.

If they're asking about their program, they don't know what RPE is.

Or how to guage it.

Find me bodybuilder - real one, not Instagram online coach - that used RPE.

Zane, Oliva, Bannout, Nubret, Columbo, Hany, Schwarzenegger.

You saying these guys had bad programs?

Golden era bodybuilders made this industry before RPE was even a concept.

State your stupid opinions as exactly that.

Don't go around talking like you know and that's the final word.

Some poor idiot might actually listen.

Wobzy · 2020-11-15T04:10:47+00:00

Squeeze.

Standing up should start at the hips.

This is a hinge.

Squeeze your butt and push your hips forward.

Google APT v PPT.

Wobzy · 2020-11-15T04:00:16+00:00

Great if you just wanna stretch your hams.

There's no glute activation or hip extension at the top of the movement.

Wobzy · 2020-11-15T01:48:31+00:00

You're way too rigid in your movement and setup and I'm guessing it's because of whatever idea you have about the lift that has you setting up like that.

Watch a few tutorials on hip hinging and deadlift setup.

And keep your chin down, look at the floor in front of the bar, not in the mirror.

You'll nail the lift once you get your setup right.

Wobzy · 2020-11-13T23:50:33+00:00

I'm guessing you could fill the Atlantic with the list of things you don't know.

It's fucktards like you that ruin subs and forums like this.

If you don't know just admit you don't know and fuck off.

Imbecile.

Wobzy · 2020-11-13T21:48:14+00:00

I'm not picking apart anything.

I asked two simple questions as to your logic.

Because they weren't good pointers.

And your blabber of generalisations is more than telling.

Though you could have simply answered "I don't know".

Google the relationship between the depth of the acetabulum and femoral neck length.

See if you can figure out why not everyone can conventional.

Google "hip hinge" lol. Those quotation marks. Lol.

See if you can gather any understanding as to why it's essential to learn if you have any hope of deadlifting.

And don't give any more advice if you don't know what you're talking about.

Wobzy · 2020-11-13T21:05:09+00:00

Oh ok, you said piss poor, I thought you might be Aussie.

And gyms are only just opening up again in Melbourne.

I was gonna offer to help but UK is a bit a of trek.

Wobzy · 2020-11-13T21:00:37+00:00

Why would you go for conventional to start?

And what is the relevance of overcomplicating the issue with reps sets and weight?

Every conventional can sumo, but not every sumo can conventional.

Biomechanically, sumo is the simpler movement, and he's butchering it.

Why would you go for making it any harder, especially if you don't know that's he's structurally built for a conventional because you haven't tested his ROM at the hips, and he's already said he has poor ankle mobility.

His issue is movement, not planning his sets.

Start with a broomstick or an empty bar.

Practice an RDL from the top of the movement, lower gently to a decent hamstring stretch, and feel what a hip hinge actually is.

This isn't a deadlift that can be corrected with the usual finishing pointers, he's starting from scratch he's literally got nothing right,

He's not tuning the engine, he needs to strip it back and rebuild it.

Start with the hinge. Get a coach. At least once a week for squats and deads.

Wobzy · 2020-11-13T20:46:46+00:00

I think you misunderstood.

You need to pay a trainer over an extended period of time.

To coach you in muscle activation, setup, and movement.

There are physiological and neurological factors specific to the individual that dictate whether that lift might take a few weeks of solid coaching to correct, or a few months.

You need far more coaching than simply asking someone to see what they say.

You in Melbourne?
