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  

some call this masochism

2018-07-03 02:09:16 UTC  

some call this LIGHT WEIGHT BABY

2018-07-03 02:14:41 UTC  

WOOO WOOO

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

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.

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.

2018-07-25 13:19:57 UTC  

Hmm, nice Pat!

2018-07-25 18:55:44 UTC  

Thanks man

2018-07-25 18:57:04 UTC  

Why does he look Italian

2018-07-25 20:50:30 UTC  

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

2018-07-25 20:51:13 UTC  

Bad knees is no excuse, fam

2018-07-25 23:09:24 UTC  

nice

2018-07-25 23:10:28 UTC  

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

2018-07-26 00:43:05 UTC  

@Nick-NJ Nice lifts man. Have you had to make any slight adjustments to your form to not re-injure yourself?

2018-07-26 09:55:54 UTC  

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

2018-07-26 18:18:15 UTC  

My right knee's been hurting a bit after starting strong lifts, which involves squatting 3x a week

2018-07-26 18:18:27 UTC  

I had to stop

2018-07-26 18:18:28 UTC  

Form must be a bit off. I squat with my feet wider than shoulder length. Is that an issue?

2018-07-26 18:19:11 UTC  

@Reinhard Wolff You're training MMA. A lot of so-and-sos say that heavy squats and MMA is a no no

2018-07-26 19:06:40 UTC  

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.

2018-07-26 19:07:00 UTC  

I'd recommend looking at stan efferding's advice

2018-07-26 19:08:22 UTC  

pretty impressive how he goes from "needing hip replacement surgery" and "painful throbbing knees" to zero pain and setting world records.

2018-07-26 19:28:23 UTC  

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.

2018-07-26 19:30:42 UTC  

I brought my feet in some to fix both of those, at the expense of some depth (still hitting proper depth though). Which is a good thing I beleive, since my knees don't lose tension from my joints resting on themselves in the bottom position.

2018-07-26 20:32:00 UTC  

@Reinhard Wolff have you tried using knee sleeves?

2018-07-26 20:34:42 UTC  

Might even be worth posting a video on the form check channel. It's hard to diagnose without seeing the squat

2018-07-27 01:20:32 UTC  

Haven't tried knee sleeves, I should though

2018-07-27 01:20:43 UTC  

I'll post a video in <#401018844241723392> next week though. Thanks fellas.
