@Ben - OH I don’t think so. I bought my 35 pound KB from Rogue. I don think there’s anything special about them

2018-09-11 01:18:42 UTC  

I partial tore my mcl when I broke my tibia in high school the two things I found is making sure my knees track over my toes when I squat and lots of warmups. I take the empty bar 2-3sets and add slow until I’m in the groove

Anybody else have the Strong app say their total lb volume is higher than it actually was.

2018-09-13 04:31:55 UTC  

I did the math of what I lifted and there's a ~4000 lb difference.

2018-09-13 04:32:05 UTC  

Am I missing something in my math?

2018-09-13 04:32:39 UTC  

tf

2018-09-13 15:24:37 UTC  

Have never calculated it myself tbh

2018-09-13 18:12:15 UTC  

Idk what to make of it. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

2018-09-13 18:18:36 UTC  

Either way I've got my workout so Imma keep doing what I'm doing.

2018-09-15 21:44:41 UTC  

anyone following the olympia?

2018-09-15 21:48:36 UTC  

not really but I saw a video title saying big remy was out of conditioning, and some black competitor looks like eore from Winnie the poo?

2018-09-16 01:09:23 UTC  

Lol i would say thats kai greene but hes not competing. kinda lame that ramy didnt bring his best package, phil is going to get his 8th for sure

2018-09-16 16:11:31 UTC  

been sick with a respiratory infection since Friday but got some corticosteroids and now feel amazing. Time to get on that platform boys...

2018-09-16 16:18:52 UTC  

getting sick is for pussies

2018-09-16 16:21:17 UTC  

haha y-yeah i-i was just kidding! lol!

2018-09-16 16:22:41 UTC  

rumor has it identitarians are physically incapable of sickness

2018-09-16 16:24:50 UTC  

It's weird, but when I'm in great shape, lifting hard, etc. The closest thing I've been to sick in years is a sniffly nose

2018-09-17 13:43:42 UTC  

Lol @ Phil winning an 8th, conditioning was off, I hope Roelly wins next year

2018-09-17 13:44:02 UTC

Borthers (and sistars) I have been doing 5x5stronnglifts Turkish meme routine (with keto, morning fasts, and off day sprints) for a month. Started really low to ensure good form. Making good gains in mass and less body fat, weights on bar going up by 5 or 10 every time. Still rookie numbers but I am a recovering skinnyfat lanklet (although I can chop wood and portage a canoe as good as any man).

I am in an unrelated absurd gen ed PE class. Today for "lab" we did our one rep maxes on bench and squat. I had never tried before because I often do the doomer alone night lift and have no spotters.

POINT IS, is it normal for my 1 rep max to be so close to my easy 5x5? Within 40 lbs. I am borderline moron so please be patient, thank you.

2018-09-26 21:10:35 UTC  

Just seemed weird to me.

2018-09-26 21:31:20 UTC  

@Nick-NJ what about Bulgarian deadlift? Lol

2018-09-26 21:33:17 UTC  

Didn't even know those were a thing

2018-09-26 22:13:32 UTC  

No idea what that is lol

2018-09-27 01:48:55 UTC  

See if your results match up with online 1RM calculators

2018-09-27 16:11:59 UTC  

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN dealing with heavy weights is a skill in itself. If you have been doing volume work like 5s most of the time and have never tried going heavier with lower reps, then it's certainly going to take a bit for your body to get used to that extra intensity. It would be one thing if you tried hitting g a heavy triple..but hitting a 1rm for the first time is tough physically and mentally since you aren't acclimated to it yet.

2018-09-27 16:38:42 UTC  

Gotta agree with Nick

2018-09-27 16:49:55 UTC  

Makes sense, thanks..Without a spotter I can't Max too often, but I'll keep it in mind

2018-09-27 22:41:43 UTC  

Pr on deadlift today

Couldn't finish out my last set on the bench today. Disappointing. Felt kinda low energy, haven't been eating my carbs like I should be

2018-09-28 16:30:31 UTC  

You can also try resting a bit longer, sometimes you need that 3-5 minutes to shake out fatigue
