@Kinvara’s Passion ,
can you describe in more detail how you carried the prowler?
was it up on the shoulders with it ? it sounds brutal altogether
@caoimhaoin loves roling out the bullshit about “CNS” fatigue, he told me last year that if i kept up my workouts that id have no sex drive and be a cripple due to " CNS" fatigue but im still flying on all counts.

The brunt of the weight is across the shoulders, like where you place the bar when squatting. Wrap your arms around the vertical bars and walk, small steps.
Visualization is the key @mickee321 , picture yourself horsing lads out of the way during a junior hurling game just as your stepping under the prowler, its keeps you focused… as you drive on, develop that picture into a scenario where you are roaring out of defense with the ball and lads are bouncing off you like flies.

Why don’t you just do farmers walks. Safer and easier.

Poetry in motion
Tweaked my lower back on deadlifts this morning, prob be alright with a couple days rest, end of that session though. #fuming
Finished a 6 week S&C program tonight.
Max Reps
Deadlifts 2 x body weight
Squats 1.5 x bodyweight
Bench 1.2 x bodyweight
Happy Enough.
Bought a bike yesterday so will give that a go next.
Hows the back kid? Easy enough done…
You just reminded to get the icepack and stick it on it, thank pal. It’s easing out a bit. I was like a cripple the first two days after it. I’ll try a jog and some core the weekend and get back to the gym next week, give it a week before anything heavy and should be grand. How’s progress on the bootcamp?
Good stuff. Let me know when you get back to the gym, pal.
Your body is telling you stop. That’s what tweaks are, warning signs.
You are probably shearing your lower vertebrae.
Technique may be an issue or you have jumped up in weight too fast or you are not doing the accessory exercises to go to next level or you have reached close to that.

That’s good. I’m around the same except for squats, struggle to get them up.
Squats and Dreadlifts I find handy enough as I have legs like tree trunks naturally anyway.
Bench is the toughest for me, combination of pins in my wrist, after affects of an old AC joint injury and having a light enough upper frame in general.
Not sure ill go too far beyond this to be honest, Would be nice to maintain it.
Grand, Finished it last night. Happy enough with progress. Still 85 kilos 6 weeks later but 32 inch in the waist now and BF% gone below 17.
And the best thing… my natural age dropped from 36 to 28. 
Going to drink 12 pints of Heineken tonight in celebration.

Shearing vertebrae doesn’t sound good. Doubt it was that. I think it was a once off technique problem. Lost concentration and my lower back rounded out, when I stood up with the weight I felt I had strained something. It was a good 30kg or so below my max of the previous week so shouldn’t be a weight issue. Seems to be coming around with ice and rest anyway.
Here’s a clip from the CCTV camera in BeeFit of G&B hurting his back
That’s shearing.

Frontal Squat… my technique.
Get right in under bar, roll shoulders forward, rise up and bar should rest across the shoulders, some mild pressure on the throat is pretty unavoidable… but your fingers will prevent too much pressure.
As you decend you keep the shoulders straight and your wrists shouldn’t feel any pressure. If they do you are doing it wring and risk damage to your wrists.

I just posted mine on the hurling thread for some reason. Ill divert to here now. The other thing is to keep the bar as you go down in a natural position. Don’t try and lean further forward to get it lower down your thighs. Once your elbows touch your knees, it is far enough down.
Ps this may just be better for old fuckers like me. I’d be interested in what @caoimhaoin[/USER] and [USER=1533]@glasagusban[/USER] and [USER=686]@Kinvara’s Passion thought.
