@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
Why not just use wrist wraps
Never👏🏻skip👏🏻leg👏🏻day 👏🏻
First day in the gym did an hour and 10 of legs with the boys
Am I supposed to have baby deer legs?
That's the goal lol
bamby, is that you?
The day after leg day is always the best
And by best I mean absolute hell
some call this masochism
some call this LIGHT WEIGHT BABY
WOOO WOOO
I couldn’t walk correctly for most of last week because of leg day
Really great feeling but probably overdid it a bit- still working on that
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.
This is alot for my peabrain
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.
On the upside, i can report that 10x10 was absolutely useful for hypertrophy. My triceps, chest and upper back have become noticeably larger.
Eat salt and fructose 👌
I went slightly salt deficient for a minute, realized it, then sprung back hard.
@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!
Thanks man
Why does he look Italian
225 for 4x8 on front squats and 405 for 4x8 on deadlifts today with almost no pain. Tore my mcl and pcl 3 months ago
Bad knees is no excuse, fam
nice
I've recently been making a point to fix my squat for the best knee tracking possible, to avoid any of that stuff down the line
@Nick-NJ Nice lifts man. Have you had to make any slight adjustments to your form to not re-injure yourself?
Thanks @@Pat-MA At this point I really just need to make sure to slow my descent on squats and make sure my knees aren't caving in
My right knee's been hurting a bit after starting strong lifts, which involves squatting 3x a week
I had to stop
Form must be a bit off. I squat with my feet wider than shoulder length. Is that an issue?
@Reinhard Wolff You're training MMA. A lot of so-and-sos say that heavy squats and MMA is a no no
If you want to know how to take care of your joints, look to the advice of older professional lifters who *need* to do extra.
I'd recommend looking at stan efferding's advice
pretty impressive how he goes from "needing hip replacement surgery" and "painful throbbing knees" to zero pain and setting world records.
As far as squat form alteration goes, I think the main principles to that would just be avoiding excessive caving in or pushing out, and keeping constant knee tension.
