@Fox yeah CrossFit boxes aren't very accommodating to people not doing their particular course. I have one right next door but they only have 1 hour 2x a day of "open gym" so instead I travel 30 min each way to get to a good barbell gym.
True. I love being apart of the box. I catch a lot of shit for not CrossFiting but I am also know everyone and make great friends doing so.
That first post-conference workout is painful. No more off days!
Haha, if/when we get an IE compound I assume there will be tons of squat racks
All members must preform back squats before continuing with any other exercise.
405 back squat mandatory
All reps are to he counted as "One, Mr. Rippetoe. Two, Mr. Rippetoe."
The dudes in the back talking about my lift as I’m doing it threw me off some. I think I had three more
Dude do you have any knee pain? Looked like they were going way past your toes.
going past your toes ain't the problem, its putting all the pressure through them that is. One can lead to the other tho
Or so I think
My knees feel great tbh. I run all the time too. I normally wear knee sleeves but forgot them back in my dorm in Texas. I’ve always done high bar pause squats like that and no pain. I’m routinely over 2-2.5x bodyweight no issues
Also I’m in weightlifting shoes that have a .75” heel so my ankle flexion angle is probably comparable to those in flat shoes who don’t go over toes
I’ll draw up some fbd of it tomorrow to see what’s good and use my measurements just cause
as long as heels dont come up, going past your toes is A okay
I’ve started taking more rest days. My sleep quality has improved and my bulk is finally working
Rest and recovery is super important fam
Nice dude. That is when your muscles grow!
Nice work!
Noice! @Zyklonius B Gassem-LA
Should I start out on a 5x5 program?!?
I'm on week 10 of the 5x5 and I love it.
Yes, start out on a 5x5 program. Preferably stronglifts or starting strength
The 5x5 meme is actually not bad, although there are better programs out there for more experienced lifters
holy cows
"I do believe that is a maximum effort"
ya i'd say

@Whitelash 5x5 is great. And you can add some issolation assisstance after the major lifts if you feel so inclined.
What are some advanced programs you guys have? You know, stuff that would be good to do after doing 5x5

Sheiko also has scaling levels of programs
Finally not lifting at a normie gym now that I've moved
