| » What is the correct way of wrapping knees? (Go to post) | 08-02-2017 @ 14:12 | ||
| I've always been told to wrap above to below the knee, whilst overlapping, and cross in front of the knee if there is enough length. One of the older bodybuilder guys told me last night I should only wrap above and below, but leave a gap for the kneecap itself? What is correct? If there is a youtube tutorial you recommend please share. | |||

| Do you literally walk in and do a 210 zercher straight from the go or do you build up to it and just post you working lifts? | |||

| High bar narrow stance Squat hitting depth (for once) Bar x12,12 60x10 100x10 120x8 Belt on 140x5,5,5 took shoes off for last set as form was starting to go off. Felt loads better 160x3 180x1.5, the depth on the 2nd rep was my previous normall depth lol. No wraps/sleeves need to check might be a pb. Wide low bar Half squat with some loose wraps 200x1 again my normal "depth" Ham curls 6x10,10 all contolled 10x3-8×5-6×7-4×9-2×11 felt good Leg extensions 40x10 45x10,10 Bike 1 min 80% 1 min 40% 5 runs Stretch | |||

BrenWad said: Good post. If NFL or NBA athletes could earn the same for strongman as their chosen sport we'd see records tumble. Look at Mike Jenkins(may he RIP), a freak athlete who quickly became top3 strongman, but who was a failed NFL reject,as was Kaz. Thor and Shaw are "failed" Basketballers though, but you're right, more money would attract more athletes. | |||
