Probably cutting off blood flow somehow which is usually just positional rather than some problem you have. See if you can check your posture in a mirror while you do them to make sure you’re not doing something weird like jamming your head back or over arching your lower back.
If it's around the knee it's probably positioning like he said. Or you might have knee problems you need to have checked out. My lifting buddy has arthritis in his knees it would be best to check if you have problems like that.
In January: barely 1 pull-up
As of now: 10 max with good form on each
What kind of lifting or work out program do you guys follow?
3 day full body split
dk what its called
Train like him if u want to be giant
Essentially, work out every day, same exercise but add a couple other while focusing on just 1
And eat 4000 cals per day
Gallon Of Milk A Day
GOMAD
I don't do that shit but if u want to be a psycho by all means go for it bud
Strong lifts 5x5 is a good program with a good app
did stronglifts for a while
I just lift whatever I feel like on the day. I usually do back a couple of times a week and and as much deadlift variations as my body will put up with
I did the Bugez training on a few lifts but it’s tough on the joints
Lord forgive me for the gains I'm bout to receive
eggs or peanut butter?

3 185 singles on bench today fellas. Reminder to get big every day

Remember that the most important part of self-improvement is to take a moment everyday to ask yourself "is what I am doing good for Israel?"
how do i fix my work ethic?
im a scot and my parents are prots but ive always had shit work ethic
whenever im studying for soemthing or doing work i always end up getting distracted and something that should take me n hour takes me four hours
@Inquisitor of this Flavortown i'm the same way
keep in mind procrastination can be a sign that you're on the wrong path
but these are some good tools
@BWMiller thx bro
Personally I find the dash method the most effective, but the problem with it is if you don't have the option to stop after 5 minutes (i.e have a paper due tomorrow morning) it can backfire or become less effective. That's the one where you only commit to doing something for 5 minutes, but the catch is if it still feels dreadful you stop. However in most cases the hardest part is to get started, and forcing yourself to do 5 minutes often lessens the anxiety.
Pomodoro technique is also very good. That's what the app is for. You're always within half an hour of a refreshing break, so it doesn't feel so overwhelming, and in my experience you often get more done in the same amount of time than if you tried to work non-stop.
The trick is to find something light and relaxing you can do in that time, and not something that will suck you in or take away energy.
Finally, I like to listen to neoclassical stuff when I'm trying to focus. Movie scores and game soundtracks, etc. Find an internet station or playlist. There are no distracting lyrics, and game scores are literally meant to make grinding easier
