68 x 2.2 x 1.5 = 224

Simple enough. Facelol has the right values.

Why not get another yoga mat and stack it?

either you do light weight squats, or dont do it at all.

tbh its dangerous to load plates after you put the barbell on your back, both for you and your spotters.

if you really want to progress on squats you either ask your gym owner to get a rack, or change gyms.

no other way to let go of the weights really, throwing it down is the safest way.

hack and front squats are a good alternative to conventional ones. however without a rack how you gonna do front squats?

u also one basketcase, your gym no rack one meh haha.

or

you were doing cleans!

i really dont think what you did to setup that backsquat is advisable. thats just me. if you lower it down like that you dont get the chance to properly setup and tighten your back when the bar lands. and just how much can you shoulder press vs squats? whatever weight you choose to squat is already limited by your pressing strength.

all it takes is one mistake to screw up your rotator cuffs. better safe than sorry.

imo if you have a hack squat machine use that as your primary exercise.

what, seriously? i thought you're in CF right?

tried zerchers. good shit right there but your arms REALLY take a beating. you'll still need a low rack or bench for it though. actually found out about it too late though. power rack arrived in the gym the week i wanted to put zerchers as my main lift lol.

i squat and deadlift barefooted ever since i changed to my current gym, which does NOT have a shoe policy .

Never even got close to having blisters, no idea what your PT is talking about. However, it is loads easier to be barefoot. Dan said it, the power transfer is smoother and no energy is lost.

@alien
i think you'll need to back up your statement with some journals or something. DJJD has a point, and its not out of context.



no doubt its good, but you dont necessarily have to do it. plenty of people doing iso splits and doing very well. do what works for YOU, not because its the most effective or whatnot.

i did ask him to do hack squats as primary exercise, somewhere up there

stabilizers are overrated tbh.

it all depends on one's objective. if you just wanna look good and nothing else then why would you need stabilizer muscles for?

now if you're training for strength, core strength, sports.. thats a different matter.

looking at the big picture here, assuming im in the same position as kubuk i would have loaded the hack squat machine with as much weight as possible, and do it for my first leg exercise. i would ditch any exercise that has a big risk of injuring myself, regardless if its the best, or effective.

thats my style though, haha. a lot will disagree but as what DJJD says, its up to the individual. i rather excel in one lift than be average for many.

Failed raw 170kg deads yest without straps zz. I was inches away from locking out before grip failed.

Consequently could only do singles for 190kg with straps because I think I exerted too much effort for the work sets before. Failed my second set so I actually only did one rep for my max weight.

Reminder to self to strap and belt up from the start if I'm gonna make a pr attempt

Sucky start of the week

Dude, try to be logical here. You don't have a problem with your T.

You said you gained weight right? Now at 60 u can't gain any more? Have you tried EATING more?

Logic dictates thee heavier/bigger you get the more cals you need to grow. Are you eating the same amount as you did before or are u gradually increasing them?

How's your lift poundages? How much have they increased or is it still the same? Are you stronger than before?

Btw gays don't have a T problem. Its a preference, and its not a hormonal issue.

Facial hair kinda depends on your genes as well, ya know. You know you eat the same amount of cals and yet u expect to grow?

Sigh, u really need us to answerr that for you or are u just trolling?

Right. You might wanna read through the stickies, if you haven't already.

Benedikt has always deadlifted with a rounded upper back. His form didn't break at all during that record breaking deadlift. Exactly the same as he always did.

Sit back more during squats if your knees are affected. Transfers the stress to your posterior rather than the knees. Check if your knees are going past your feet.

Wear a smaller shirt?

Jokes aside, how much has your curl and whatever tricep exercise u do increased over a period of say... 6 months?

tbh, doing long distance running (ie: more than 10km) and weightlifting equally in terms of time is kinda shooting yourself in the foot.

i have yet to see one long distance runner (42km regulars) that look big and ripped at the same time. ripped, yes. big? no.

but imo if you limit yourself to half marathons or something, but doing it irregularly like, say only train for events.. would be beneficial.

sprinters are different. even if they dont do weights they still gonna look like that.

we could probably go to the runners thread and ask them. they should know more i think.

Its funny how when I started eating a lot of eggs I get a lot of advice on how bad it is for my health

A year later no one blinks an eyelid when I load my dinner plate with eggs and meat equivalent to 50g of protein.

Scientific facts aside, show them proof by getting bigger and stronger, and healthier when u start loading on protein sources. You can argue about facts till the sun comes up but hardly anyone argues with proof of said facts.

I had a storm of negative comments when I bought my first protein tub. Now its used to keep dog food lol. Myofusion dog biscuits anyone?

Can mail u a sample for u to try lol. Else u have to ask my dog for reviews

LOL WTF! Look at the vascularity running down his front paws man wtf wtf wtf. Photoshop or what?

Whack whack whack! Haha

I dunno, imo if a trainess is frequently injured from bb ing he is doing something wrong. Once a while normal la, but if your recovery time from injuries are equal to your training time you better start reviewing your training methods.
