your knees way in front of your toes, isn't that terrible for the knees?  for me, that would make my knee quite sore/painful after lifting.

yes. it puts a lot of stress to the knees. with proper adaptation by using sensible load on the bar (+rest +food.. etc), you will make the muscles surrounding the kness a lot stronger in response to the exercise. thats how you get stronger and not get broken.



I also started to do one-arm cable rows but seated.

the stabilizing effect of the non-pulling arm allows you to use weights that will give the back muscles some decent resistance.

* that x16 on the seated calf raise must be a one-time fluke. i had no idea how i got pass 10 reps with the holds on that one because i'm barely getting the 10th rep holds this time. must have been the 16x4 gastroc work on the previous workout.

Form Check - new shoes. nike romaleos volt - olympic 2012 release

this is my top set of 405. just realized it can be 135-225-315 because the vid is too flat. don't care.
no time to edit. suck it up and watch the whole thing. there is a single rep squat there somewhere.

vid also of my back routine - standing single arm low cable row. this +  curl bar head supported rows at home. the more back the better.

Daily Calf Raise Seated Soleus- plate loaded paused reps top/bottom holds
- 4x45lb x10
- 5x45lb 10,10,10,16

* the 5plate calf raises x10 is not cutting it anymore. didn't feel like adding more weight and look ugly with a small 10lb plate in there.. il go for 16x4 before i add another 15-25lb and go down to x8 again.
* been doing standing single arm low cable row x10reps for good volume/bloodflow aiding my heavy head supported curl-bar BB rows at home. i like the effects of the standing rows - my other hand braced again a support (and feet planted solid) to really focus on pulling with the elbow, holding the top contraction and really letting the bottom ROM pull everything to near max ROM. the cable is set to lowest postion and makes a near 45deg. basically the same as a single arm dumbell row but instead of resting on a flat bench, you rest on a 45 deg bench with the resistance pulling from a 45 deg angle (instead of 90 deg down gravity with DB)
* i suck on the grip. my grip goes out near the 10th rep using 160lb (full stack is 200). these are controlled rows with top/bottom holds too.
* so i don't look like a turtle too much with a very big back, i do sets of x20 BW dips. thats all the chest i'm going to get. can't have too much back, but still need some form of muscle balance. lol

ADARQ & LanceSTS - Q&A / Re: Half squat with transition emphasis
« on: August 07, 2012, 01:06:47 am »
too much heavy half squats as a suggestion from lance got me full repping 455 out of nowhere. i had no idea it had a strong training effect..

all i can do now is watch what i did 1 year ago and say - at least i got it on vid.. not gonna happen that easy again anytime soon.

oh, i assumed 90 = parallel.

i asked vag the same question a couple weeks ago, but how do your joints, etc feel training with such heavy weights and a high intensity?

my joints are doing just fine. no injury or any near-injury incidents even with 1-3x/day squats with 400lbs+. did 4x squats in a day also the other day and same thing. just a little muscular fatigue but thats about it. less than a couple of weeks to go and the end of this month marks my 1-year every day squat routine.

this is the advantage of the paused rep squats. it saves the joints. muscles take the beating. it also trains you to be very explosive at the start of the movement, otherwise the bar will tell you it doesn't want to go all the way up.

^ the 515x2 was the heaviest partial reps i did at one point. have vid but no point in showing partials squats IMO - everybody can do them heavy anyway.

* was surprisingly very strong. would have gotten a strict 425x1.  the calf raises were also a lot easier. might add another 10lbs soon.

my romaleos 2 volt are here - the 2012 olympic version. used them today and felt good. a lot lighter and felt thinner than the romaleos 1, but not as thin as my Ironworks 2. i like them all.

* legs are tired. time to take it easy (no more 3-4x / day squat).. a couple of days of just 2x with good food should get me back on track.
* calf work is alright. did not get top ROM at rep 10 at some sets and had to drop the machine again to take the weights off.

* calves not very strong. reps 9-10 gave me a hard time. had to let the machine drop at the final rep to not stress the back pulling the handle to raise it so i can re-set the weights.
* strong post workout meal and lift again ~ midnight-ish after i feel fresh again.

- was still able to get my top set without any problems coming from a 4:30pm lift with no sleep/nap between the workout.
- the previous workout coming from almost 17hrs gap ( wed11:30pm- thur 4:30pm the following day) was alright. i did 3x lift last wed and decided to get some more recovery time. the top set of 405 went up without problems too.
- calf work is surprisingly easy. need to figure out if controlled repping 6-8plates on that seated calf machine is even realistic. don't want to tear something there just to look cool. calfs now almost 16" shredded. lol

- skipped the calf work on the midday workout. did 3x again today. i'm enjoying this higher cab intakes. feels like my muscles have more mass to it.
- calf work is still looking good. really focusing on the seated bent knee variation until i figure out how to perform straight knee - gastroc focused too without tiring my VMO/quads too much. might use some form of knee brace or wrap.. don't know yet.

* skipped the calf work. might be overtraining these small muscles. quads can take the 400s 4x/day i guess. nothings breaking and i'm getting better appetite after lifting. did a very quick lift before lunch.

* calves are taking all the creatine.. completed the 40total reps with decent holds on the top ROMs on calf raises. stopped the squat at 385 again and will get the 400 this afternoon. might also go for 5x45lb 8x5sets on the calf work.
* its either the calf volumes or just me losing some BW. i'm at a wet BW again of 168lbs after the workout. i might be breaking sub 165lb dry weight if i don't eat more to compensate for the added volumes of calf work and the heavier head-supported barbell rows.

* lifted for the third time today. felt strong. must be the extra carbs. bumped up rice serving from 1/2 to 1 cup a meal post workout. no sleep in between lifts but definitely strong enough for 425x1. i guess diet fluctuations matter a bit when you are this thin.
