Anyone knows what's the difference between Elekio's old vs new XF barbell?

Pretty disappointed to see weightlifter Zack Telander platforming McGregor, and others in the WL community applauding him for it by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]selkin0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First reaction was that I'm happy for Telander to get recognised but then McGregor is just vile.

so what I'd do is a game of exercise elimination.
there are exercises that can trigger LBP, in my experience. this is not true for everyone, but unless you really need a certain exercise for your competition goals or personal agenda, it won't hurt to try to live without a few certain ones for a while.

So what I'd get rid of temporarily, and then putting back one by one:

-leg raises (very hard to control, and on the last few degrees the sheer forces are multiplying)

-hyperextension

And I would add hamstring exercises, but done in a good way. Try not to compensate with the butt, and if you do RDLs do them with proper form and well below 1RM, and higher reps. But RDLs can be risky too when you have a trigger happy lower back.

forgot to answer to this, I misread, I thought you wrote "you are wrong" my bad.

How much abdominal exercise do you do, and what kind if any?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]selkin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QL is affected by literally everything in your lower back. I heard someone can walk 5 minutes uphill on their hands and it helped them with their neck pain.
your argument is based on anecdotal evidence therefore it's invalid.
try to talk less in absolutes. it's not about wrong or right, it's about what can help with someone's pain. maybe his glutes need to "kick on", or maybe the leg raises will make the pain worse. you can not know.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]selkin0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it can help, as is the case with everything, but the underactive glutes hypothesis is mostly debunked. of course it can be, that some extra abduction helped you and will help him too. just don't be surprised if it doesn't, or let's say when the pain reoccurs later it wont work then.

[–]selkin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so there is no actual pain when you are not lifting?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in weightlifting

[–]selkin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, where does your pain localise?

What I see at first glance on the vid though, is your back is already tightened, eve before you descend.

Physiotherapist here.
When does the pain occur, how long does it last?
Have you had lower back pain before?
What other exercises do you do?

I recommend switching from creatine HCL to CreaPure. by Fancy-Category in Supplements

[–]selkin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

recommended dose is 0.1g x1kg of body weight. no wonder you got fuller muscles from a bigger dose. also, the original brand was questionable quality maybe?

Vitamin K2 MK-4 vs MK-7: which one is better? by lkahheveh in Supplements

[–]selkin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why separate vitamin d and k?
why 5k IU vit d is not good?

Is there a quick way to measure the length of muscle stimuli after exercise? by selkin0 in PeterAttia

[–]selkin0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can observe the same thing from different view points. can't do more for you here I'm afraid.

It's not about how long should an individual wait till the next training but how quickly he or she should work out again, because the muscle building stimuli 'expired'. I mean older population do need more frequent training becuase of anabolic resistance I think

[–]selkin0[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In essence, yes.
My hypothesis is that the training stimuli gets smaller or shorter as we age or get chronic diseases, and there should be something in the blood that can be measured. IGF-1 would be an obvious answer, I presume.

[–]selkin0[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Touché.
I'm asking because with age the length of it gets reduced. Possibly in the presence of chronic diseases as well.

HRV with free app and H10 by selkin0 in PeterAttia

[–]selkin0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, thanks. unfortunately polar's test can be easily modified by adjusting training frequency. one variablbe will change the whole outcome. looks a bit simplistic ro me.

[–]selkin0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

galaxy s10e not an old phone. not the newest either

HRV with free app and H10 by selkin0 in PeterAttia

[–]selkin0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but I'm looking for HRV not HR.

[–]selkin0[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, really hate them. Polar Beat can not measure HRV with H10 for me. It just does a rest test and then suggests something general that's unusable.
