Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | How, exactly? I've had a slight niggle from straining my ACL a few months ago and it gets better but never completely gone. Doesn't impede anything but gets a bit stiff. | ||

Doesn't impede anything but gets a bit stiff. Dont max out all the time, take it close and work the weights you can safely work with good technique. Also if you know you are having that niggle, ice it even when it doesnt hurt. Maybe consider supplementing with MSM, you can get organic powder really cheap from like Jarrow Formulas (take double the dose). These things have really helped me out. | ||

a dork Member 1023, 846 posts | Had a pretty good pressing day. Plan was to try to strict press 150kg, but was just not feeling it, oh well I made the best of it for sure. Strict press Did a lot of triples working up to 280lbs (~127kg), then did 280lbs for 12 sets of 1 reps with 30 sec rest. Fat Gripz pullups 30 reps Fat Gripz dumbbell clean and press 80lbs (~36kg)x4 105lbs (~48kg)x4 120lbs (~54.5kg)x4 135lbs (~61kg)x4 150lbs (~68kg)x4 this is the heaviest we have at this gym so i just stopped there, I suppose I should have done more reps, but I didnt feel like killing myself on that movement today. Finished with some assistance and 15 min of interval cardio. BW was 228lbs or ~103kg | ||

They are rubber handles that make everything into a thick bar! Instead of buying a thick bar you just put these things on and it makes the grip loads harder. Pretty cool little things. fatgripz.com check em out! | ||

I love using them on dumbbells for clean and presses and on pullups to make the grip super intense. I can normally do nearly 30 pullups in a row, but these things cut me to 10 if I am lucky! ------- Cardio today, interval running on the track for 30 min. I need new shoes, the cushion in these Saucony shoes is gone!!! Ouch!!! | ||

a dork Member 1023, 846 posts | Got some new shoes, another set of Saucony's of course (they are so freaking comfortable with my bodyweight on them!). Had a good workout today despite my hotel bed trying to kill me! I woke up today my stiff back had a stiff back on it's back is how bad it was! Ugh! Walked for 10 min to try and loosen up the lower body, I really like the new shoes. It's going to take a few sessions to get them formed to my feet thoug, but I am used to that so no issues. Front squat weight in lbs. 135x3, 135x3 185x3, 185x3 205x3, 205x3 225x3, 225x3 (2 from here on out) 275x2, 275x2 315x2, 315x2 355x2, 355x2 405x2, 405x2 (184kg) 415x2, no spotters so I didnt want to take it any heavier. Romanian deads from shoelace level 135x8, 225x8, 315x8, 405x8 Did some assistance work, some abs, and jumped rope to finish off. Good day. | ||

a dork Member 1023, 846 posts | Carl said:solid work adam Thanks man! I am trying to do a lot of sets lately and it seems to help me hold on to my strength even with all the extra cardio I've been doing. I am not hitting any PB's really but the strength is not declining either so I am happy with it. I think if I slowly add weight the PB's will come soon enough. This has been really nice on the body too, not to many things bothering me like sore knees or anything like that so i like where it is going. | ||
