I don't know everything! Need help

[rnmuscle]

I want some plans to get back into training. I’ve been on a travel assignment and finally found a rental. August 1st. I keep taking small amounts( for me) and do push pull legs, 1 body part a day, cardio when I work , my off days double split. 1month in a shitty super 8
I need some workout that will warm me up for a few weeks until I go back to a split. I went to do chest and started with ,50 then 60,got mine, thentryed 85 and did 5. My wrists couldn’t handle the weight
I also tweaked my shoulder doing behind neck press. Haven’t done that in 3 years. Had to go to 185and it crushed me at 6. I don’t know how to train any different and I need something to get me back into it, kettlebells. Whatever, I maybe need a whole body,you guys know about this stuff.

I think @Neuro is having good progress rocking the kbells.

My mantra…” if it hurts don’t do it”…

I will drop a movement for anywhere from 3 months to forever if it hurts.

My opinion… there’s a zillion movements out there. I can find replacements that don’t hurt/damage my body.

Brother you’re in the club… you’ve had your time in the sun. Maybe it’s time you start dropping stuff out for good. You will never be as strong, big or as ripped as you once were. Maybe shoot for mostes yoked old guy….

I’m now a firm believer in KB movements across the board. As a bodybuilder everything is segmented and you lose the ability to move.

I did about a month of pure KB training, and it was brutal. I found so many weak points. It was lighter weight but the cardio is brutal. Then I went to basically kettle building. If I can substitute a movement with a kettle bell (rows, curls, shoulder press, lateral raise etc) I do it. Legs are mainly kettle bells. Before I got my bike I’d do hack squat/belt squat then KB and body weight.

If you go into a deficit (hear me out) and lean down doing kettle bells and strengthen accessory muscles that are weak from bb style training, cut down bf, and then rebound into an excess and back to bb with some KB I think you’d cover the basis to get you back.

Both huge. Both focusing on moving your whole body.

I love that
…so true. Insanity!

 

[rnmuscle]

Smart, makes sense. I mean I guess I look ok to others but I just wanna get yoked one more time
It might be a mental disorder. Should I try something that is on barbend…it’s a big site like MS.

I’m not familiar with their KB programming but anything will help I swear.

2 Power Cleans/1 Press/3 Front Squats - Dan John.

He has a few KB complexes that are brutal and effective.

In the Army stuck in tents we would do push up ladders, burpee ladders, sit up…. Blah blah…

One “push up” the first min. 2 the second min. So on and so forth until you can’t make the time and reps. Feels boring as hell until about 13-15 and the rest disappears.

Burpee ladders are brutal. I saw a few real hard men make 24 minutes with burpees. Gross. Amazing cardio workout in 20 minute. Full body fuckery. We also played burpee a day. Day one of the month 1, Day 2 do 2…. Months with 31 days blow.

If mobility and flexibility are limiting after BBing throw on YouTube for 20 minutes and follow a video on mobility. Wife convinced me to do it with her and I can almost move without pain again after a few weeks.

Think about multiple joint movements. Not isolated contractions. DB cleans and snatches are fantastic- ankles, knees, hips, wrist, elbow, shoulder…. Works all them joints

10 Lunges each leg, 20 squats. 5 jumping lunges. 10 jump squats. Hit 10 rounds of that and the legs should be fired up.

It’s sounds cheesy but do 10 sun salutation A and 10 B. Call them burpee, push up, lunge stretches if it sounds better but they work.

Rambling now but 20 KB swings and 10 push-ups. 15-20 rounds is 30 minutes and kicks ass.

Dan John.

I read his stuff often. He’s in his 70’s I believe and still looks great.

He has programs catering to us (clears throat) “older folks”…. Kb etc.

Pavlov is another machine. Sadist.

Charles Staley is another professional trainer that is no youngster and has a lot of content geared for “us”.

I read something of his 10 years ago that stuck with me… paraphrasing… working delts bb style to bring those up will traansfer over aesthetically to give the appearance of being much bigger than you are… that way you gain maintain a healthy body weight for your age.

 

[Poppy]

My traps delts and lats grow pretty easy so that helps me maintain the “look”.

 

[WillyCorbet]

You mentioned Staley a bit ago to me and I looked him up- did some reading. He’s fantastic.

Again,
Thank you!

It might be a mental disorder.

Nahhh you’re fighting the aging process. That’s a good thing. You just have to get in a good place mentally and the physical part will follow.

Realize your limitations (tough pill to swallow) and adjust accordingly.

 

[Poppy]

You’re welcome….old guy mafia!!!

I don’t want you to be but your right…more I push back the worse things "seem to be’. I just bought a good air fryer, so that will help
