I weighed in at 160 and this is my 1 rep max of 335.

I tried to start with higher hips to really elongate my hamstrings before the lift, pushing my knees back so that my hips and shoulders would rise at the same rate and then using my glutes to finish the lift after the bar passes my knees.

Any comments/suggestions?

I have a member who just recently (this is the second wod in a row) started getting a severe headache behind his right eye. First time it was during some relatively light back squats and then this morning during the warm up with pull ups.

It sounds like sinus issues (could be frontal, ethmoidal, or maxillary maybe) to me. Just wondering if anybody else out there has had this issue or if there are some docs who might shed some light.

Around 1 year ago I attempted a 1RM on the turkish get up (50Kg, 110# +-). On the way up I felt my right shoulder "give" and go from an active position to a more retracted position. I completed the rep but had a slight pain straight afterwards around the top most point of the shoulder blade (see pic). I waited around 1 week to see if it would improve but it didn't.

I went to a physio and basically she said I strained my supraspinatus and possibly subluxated my shoulder. A movement that hurt was when i tried to touch the bottom of the back of my neck with my right hand (with the elbow behind the back). She also gave me some stretches and 1 strengthening exercise to do.

Anyways, I am now at a point that I can basically do most things with no pain - weighted pull ups, bar muscle ups, push ups and light pushsing exercises. However heavy pressing (heavy for me, that is) or bench pressing can leave the shoulder quite sore. The stretching does help when this happens.

The stretches she gave me were what I assume to be a posterior deltoid stretch (press the right elbow to the chest with the left arm) with the right elbow both straight and bent (two sstretches) as well as a rotational one.

I just started benching and pressing light dumbbells and hoping to slowly bring it up but I'm not sure if this is a good approach.

a little info on me - 20y/o , weigh 220#,

If anyone has any expiriences with this and how I can get it back so I can press heavy I would be fairly pleased to say the least.

cheers ya'll!

However, I'm only doing dead-hangs for the moment (poorly, but doing them) and I really need to start working on my kip. I'm 5'10" (or 5'9" depending on what 7-Eleven store I walk in and out of). My pull-up bar is 6 feet tall, but if I have to, I can get extra galvanized pipe and a couple of couplers to increase the height (not too high though, I have to mind the ceiling :o )

So, what's the heaviest you've hit on weighted pull-ups for 10 reps? Heaviest you've seen or have a video of (or whatever)? I'm interested in what the record is (and especially what the GA record is, since I doubt I'm setting any national records).

Hey folks

just wondering if someone can recommend a good exercise suitable for max strength improvements that has good carry-over to BJJ with the gi.

I know that Back squats and DLs are the staple in the crossfit world but I just want to get some opinions (hopefully from ppl in the BJJ community) as to whether these are just as applicable for BJJ, given that much of BJJ happens on the ground with infrequent rooting of the feet compared to vertical sports like basketball or football etc.

My instincts suggest that DLs are good due to the grip and forearm component (good for gi gripping), the full body tension and lock out required and the dynamic hip drive, but unsure how this carries over to being on your back or stomach when grappling.

I'm also looking for something that will provide the best return on training time and effort, as between BJJ classes and conditioning/strength endurance circuits I have little reserve energy for routines that involve more than 1-2 exercises.

any BJJ specific advice would be greatly appreciated:thanx: ]]> Exercises Chris Ross http://board.crossfit.com/showthread.php?t=53172
