Don't worry too much, FE.
This is coming from a guy who got a salad for lunch. Then, I realized through my 7-11 app that I earned my free beverage. At the 7-11, I decided that the most economical choice would be the X-tra Large Slurpee.
So, I got a Slurpee.
With my salad.
In NYC.
Where the current temp is 40 degrees.
Why are you doing such hi reps with so little weight. A 2.5 is basically body weight. Why not add more weight and lower your reps?
. I think you answered your own question. Value is in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks, 3 plates sounds good. I'm only at one now because I'm still not used to the form of having weight between my legs/pulling at my waist.
My Evernote link in the OP has lower body mobility YouTube video links; I recommend video #3, #5, and #6 (his hip circles/fire hydrants and rocking frog stretch). You can search about Kelly Starrett's Mobility WOD website or YouTube channel for hip mobility stuff for the squat too. Take a look at the videos and decide which stretches you want to do.So Im still sorta new to weightlifting, specifically freeweights, and one of the things I have noticed is that Im rather inflexible at the hips and tend to bend at the back
Most exercises have a bent over variation, like doing shrugs today, and the straight back bent at hip posture just feels awkward. I feel a ton of tension in my hamstrings when doing this so I assume those must be chronically tight as a result. Obviously this is bad in a general sort of way as ill end up with a screwed up back so I want to fix it.
Are there any specific stretches or exercises that aid with hip mobility? Seems like if its the hamstring then those would suffice. A friend said my back will sort itself as my lats get stronger but I need to get more hip flexibility before attempting compound lifts like deadlifts.
Any recommendations or ideas FitGAF?
