But I don’t think that’s the problem here as he can’t stand that I can out do him and it eats at him.

Getting hard to squat with my knee as of late. Feels like it's on fire after RTFing 375.

2018-06-21 16:57:44 UTC  

@Suomi Stronk be careful homie. I had to stop squatting altogether this winter - the pain in my knee made BJJ and really most other things too awful

For doing cardio should I stick with the running or go with swimming. I’ve heard positives for both and I’m generally more comfortable with running.

2018-06-21 22:26:20 UTC  

Couldn’t find a cardio chat so I’m coming here

@Jawa You're better off with swimming for a variety of reasons. Most notable being the real lack of impact upon the joints (Although shoulder injuries can occur without proper stretching, hydration, etc) compared to running, since unless you're running on very soft surfaces with the right kind of shoes, long term running will take a toll on your knees, hips, ankles, back, etc. Swimming also incorporates more muscle groups, which equals a larger caloric use. However, swimming isn't very easy to do for long periods of time when compared to running. A good middle ground would be long-distance biking if you want to stay on land.

Interesting thanks man

@Jawa Swimming makes your lungs way stronger too, because they must work under the pressure of water. Also, what does RTFing mean @Suomi Stronk

As in doing as many reps as possible before your body literally just goes "nope"

I just got off a 3 month 5x5 cycle, and am 2 weeks into a 10x10 cycle.

Heavy taping for heavy lifting

@Suomi Stronk I've never taped wrists for lifting.
Is that better than velcro wrist wraps?

2018-06-27 01:40:50 UTC  

@Tyler0317 Haven't done velcro, but I can definitely say they help when you're doing heavy bench press plus an absolute insane amount of dips and pushups afterwards

2018-06-27 13:12:43 UTC  

Why not just use wrist wraps

2018-07-03 01:00:50 UTC  

Never👏🏻skip👏🏻leg👏🏻day 👏🏻

First day in the gym did an hour and 10 of legs with the boys

2018-07-03 01:01:40 UTC  

Am I supposed to have baby deer legs?

2018-07-03 02:05:52 UTC  

That's the goal lol

2018-07-03 02:07:21 UTC  

bamby, is that you?

2018-07-03 02:07:56 UTC  

The day after leg day is always the best

2018-07-03 02:08:04 UTC  

And by best I mean absolute hell

2018-07-03 02:08:57 UTC

WOOO WOOO

2018-07-03 05:12:15 UTC  

I couldn’t walk correctly for most of last week because of leg day

2018-07-03 05:12:28 UTC  

Really great feeling but probably overdid it a bit- still working on that

2018-07-07 02:24:25 UTC  

Anybody good at math? I'm trying to develop a formula that can account for metabolic fatigue based on %of1rm and setXrep, over the span of days.

2018-07-07 02:24:44 UTC  

This is alot for my peabrain

2018-07-09 23:40:39 UTC  

I'm 3.5 weeks into a 10x10 program, 3x per week(program is above)

I officially missed my first workout last Wednesday, I was so fatigued I couldn't get up for the gym. I then slogged thru Friday's workout. I couldn't put up the weight for 10 reps anymore, and I needed to take abnormal rest times between sets just to complete the workout.

While I'm physically not sore, I think I have officially fatigued my nervous system.

Today I went back to 5x5 and a much more modest routine.

2018-07-09 23:46:04 UTC  

On the upside, i can report that 10x10 was absolutely useful for hypertrophy. My triceps, chest and upper back have become noticeably larger.

2018-07-10 00:08:32 UTC  

Eat salt and fructose 👌

2018-07-10 00:09:23 UTC  

I went slightly salt deficient for a minute, realized it, then sprung back hard.

2018-07-10 01:40:40 UTC  

@Deleted User I'll add some salt to my diet, Thanks for the tip.. I'm on a low sugar diet, fructose is a nogo for me.

Hmm, nice Pat!
