    I think the thing I'm most jealous of is straps instead of pins for rack pulls

    A guy at the gym yesterday asked if I competed. Told him I was planning on it, but haven't registered yet. He said "you don't see many people doing safety bar good mornings so I figured you competed". Felt good man.

    My right shoulder is so fucked. I really, really need to schedule an ortho appointment, but I'm afraid they're going to tell me I need surgery.

    Set an appointment. Not worth delaying it if it's truly messed up.

    LOL stop reading stronglifts. It's for idiots.

    Just do Starting Strength. I upped the .mobi for you if you got the hard copy. The only draw back from these programs is that i suggest people do high bar squating. It's easier to master and imo more carryover to other lifts.

    Candito released his 9 week squat program today. 3 weeks of high frequency 5x/week. Then 2 weeks of High volume reduced frequency. Then transitions to a strength block.

    Had to get innovative tonight for squats. Only one power rack had any sort of attachment ability for bands, and the problem was there was just about no actual tension since I'm 5'8. Here's 225x5 (did 3 sets) with two black (100lbs each) bands.

    Different angle

    Wish I could give this more likes. I could go back and find it but pretty sure we were talking about him bringing it out almost a year ago. Feel like I have been waiting forever for that thing. His new advanced programs are pretty sweet but I don't think I'm at that stage where I need to specify so much on just one lift. All my lifts need work.

    I've had a substantial pain in my hip any time I'm at the bottom of a squat. Also hurts if my knee is bent and there is external rotation. It's been hurt for 3-5 years like that. Had a MRI a few days ago.

    The way he drops the weight back onto the rack is scary to me. Look no further than Chris Duffin on why that might not be a great idea. All it takes is the operator fucking up slightly.

    Havestartedback lifting foraboutthe last 6 weeks or so. For a few weeks now I've had on and off pain in my sternum, thought i had slept on it wrong. Did dips yesterday (my favorite exercise) and had to stop due to the pain and didn't want to worsen it.

    Feels like it's in the bone, not my pec muscle, googled and i think it is costochondritis (sp?)

    My wife tore her labrum during labor. She had PRP. Made full-ish recovery. Only lasting restriction is no running, which sounds like more of a bonus to me anyways.

    Happened to me several years ago. Rest was the answer. Sleeping killed for several days. Took several weeks for a full heal unfortunately, but as with all injuries, you learn and grow from it.

    because it was created by some smarmy marketing twat with no experience whatsoever. that would be fine, if he at least knew he misunderstood Park's 5x5. Starting Strength is a more legit program with more legit people that can help you without trying to profit off you.

    But besides that, 3x5 is better for LP than SL5x5.

    Rogue is awesome. Fuck the haters.

    monster is unnecessarily big. 3x2 is fine. My Rogue Yoke is built like a tank. But going forward youll find more attachments for 3x3. So its sorta an investment. But either way the price i see is negligible now.
