Make sure you’re eating bone broth, or collagen and such. There are some good cheap gelatin supplements, bone broth is cheap. That stuff is really good for rebuilding connective tissue and join health.

Maybe you are @Pat-MA . Especially if you are doing partial movements, use straps and so on. Partial squats will destroy your recovery and really wear out your connective tissue.

I recently read that quarter squats can improve sprinting and vertical jump ability much better than full squats so I have been doing quarter squats because i like to play basketball and also have a bad knee if I squat about halfway down

2018-01-22 17:25:48 UTC  

I do not condone partial anything when lifting

2018-01-22 17:28:00 UTC  

If you do partial squats you are gonna be torn up

2018-01-22 17:28:14 UTC  

And you will have bad inflammation

Anybody have problems with cramping during squats? The last couple of weeks, ive noticed cramping basically as soon as I start my warmups. It's not so bad that its caused me to cut short a workout, and while Im no worldbeater, Im not a novice either, most of my working sets are between 365 and 430. Im not sure why this has started happening, I typically stay well hydrated and the only change ive made is more carbs before workouts

How's your salt and potassium intake

2018-01-25 16:22:27 UTC  

Who needs pre-workout when you can take a taser hit instead?

LMAO

2018-01-25 18:08:28 UTC  

@Steve - NJ is that you?

2018-01-25 20:06:16 UTC  

Hell no I busted my ass lifting

2018-01-25 20:06:27 UTC  

Can't do that

2018-01-30 03:34:51 UTC  

What do you guys think of 1 rep lifting?

2018-01-30 05:11:00 UTC  

I've utilized it before on Sheiko programs

2018-01-30 05:12:17 UTC  

It got me on podium both times and Westside uses it too

2018-01-30 11:36:20 UTC  

I'm thinking about switching my 3 x 5 squats and deadies to 3 x 1 on account of I think it will have lower impact on my knees, which are getting sore as I increase my weight. Think it's worth a shot?

2018-01-30 11:36:37 UTC  

I also do 3 x warm ups

2018-01-30 19:27:54 UTC  
2018-01-30 21:18:14 UTC  

What sort of warm up do you goys recommend before the 5x5 lifting routine? Currently I do nothing to warm up, just start the lifts. Is it necessary or not really? Opinions?

2018-01-30 21:21:23 UTC  

@Sonic I do three warm up sets - 5 x bar, 3 x 50%, 1 x 75%

2018-01-30 21:23:28 UTC  

I'd probably do more volume in sets if you're gonna do one rep

2018-01-30 21:23:34 UTC  

Like 5x1

2018-01-30 21:24:10 UTC  

At 85% of 1RM

2018-01-30 21:24:30 UTC  

Maybe 80%

2018-01-30 21:25:44 UTC  

I usually work up to singles with a high rep low weight, then 60% for 5 reps, 70% for 3, and go to singles

2018-01-30 21:26:50 UTC  

@Deleted User 3 sets of which specific lift for the warm up?

2018-01-30 21:26:55 UTC  

I have bad squatters elbow so I use singles and low reps to keep the inflammation down

2018-01-30 21:27:23 UTC  

Or warm up before each lift?

2018-01-30 21:28:01 UTC  

If squatting and deadlifting same day I only warm up once but I still follow the 60 70 80

2018-01-30 21:28:28 UTC  

@Sonic I mean 3 warm up sets for each of the 3 x 5 core lifts i do. So six total sets, three warm up and three working

2018-01-30 21:28:53 UTC  

Gotcha. Thank you!

2018-01-31 00:52:00 UTC  

I haven't been working out, because I've been sick for the past few days. I still don't feel like I'm in the condition to do it. How long until I start losing gains? Should I at least try to do some pushups in my room?

2018-01-31 01:58:20 UTC  

Focus on getting better.

2018-01-31 01:58:50 UTC  

Getting enough protein is good, too.

2018-01-31 01:59:00 UTC  

Protein and rest, bruh

2018-02-01 03:31:39 UTC  

i have bronkaid and caffeine pills to take before I work out, should I add aspirin to the stack?

2018-02-01 03:31:42 UTC  

i know that's done sometimes

2018-02-01 05:12:26 UTC  

Nah aspirin isn't necessary
