Anyone else get DOMS exclusively in their left knee
no
doms, in the knee
erm
like a muscle around the knee?
delayed onset muscle soreness kinda necessitates a muscle, not a joint haha
you probly have some hipshift or something using your stronger leg
mess around with unilaterals
wait, this is from squatting right?
There’s an awful Skyrim joke to be made here but I’ll refrain
It was a joke lol
Knee injuries being ignored under a factual misunderstanding
A few weeks ago I wrote about a bench press set that strained an upper an muscle. I fixed it with muscle relaxer balm and resting a few days. The next workout I dropped down 5 pounds and have slowly slowly been creeping up to that weight again that strained me last time. Tonight I do it. One more set to go.
Just resting before it. One note though is the problem wasn't that I didn't complete the work out that time, it was just the next few days I felt like I had a very tense right upper an muscle. Hope I've done enough training, rest, warm up to mitigate that this time.
Follow-up, last set went really well, better than first two, which indicates to me I should warm up more before the work sets. Also I made an extra effort to prop up on my back heels.
>that many sets and back exercises
Do you spend 3 hours in the gym, bro-bro?
I'm glad you're going for the gold, but it does seem excessive. But your cut seems to be going well so maybe you have it figured it.
Oosh, that is a whole lot of volume and exercises. Why not pick 4 or 5 of your favorite and just work those harder?
RepsXweight all over 2000
Looks like a good workout to me
I used to do workouts like that when I was younger and had several hours to spend at the gym
@Deleted User Most my workouts take about an hour and a half to two hours
I only take 30 second breaks in between sets, which is pretty much enough time to change weight
Oh yeah that changes things haha
I'm a fan of the 60-90 second rest so it lengthens things quite a bit
I guess lol at my 3-7 minute breaks between heavy triples and doubles. Although most of that time is spent on set up and getting my belt tight and chalking
Between warmups and going slow for the ankle it took me 30 minutes to get through my deadlifts
Same
During any working set (80%+ for me) I take exorbitantly long breaks
Had 2x5 at 80% for squat today and there's no way I'm not taking at least a couple minutes
Between work sets I take 8 minutes minimum. I find a few extra minutes really makes a difference
definitely makes my workouts long though
Goal is to be practically crawling out of the gym by the end of my workouts
Heavy bench day today calls for 800mg of Ibuprofen so that my forearm tendinitis doesn't make me drop the bar. Need to survive this so that I can make it to the conference next week
@Nick-NJ hope it goes well man, sounds rough
Survived and hit a nice overhead press volume PR!
Thanks @ThisIsChris
