Just so lazy to post

When my left knee screwed up, it kinda healed, then right knee screwed up once my squat was getting back to 405 max. It screwed up in the same way as the left, so im doing what my PT had me do for my other knee. I notice relief right away. Glute med activation basicaly

Currently RDLing 445x6, kinda deep too, at like 200lbs bw
Dropped barbell benching completely. Just felt like trying incline dumbell only. Stuck with it for like two months. Tried out a 2 plate bench for fun... oh God the strain on the shoulders! I might still with DBs only for a while. Currently at 100’s x6 at a low incline, followed by 90’s x8 at mid incline

Pull ups - 5 clean reps with 80lbs attached

Played light bball to see how my knees feel tomorrow. Only jumped hard once - touched rim from standstill

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / Re: walking on rocks for foot health

Did a lot of this kind of walking this sunmer on pebbly beaches. Sometimes its a really good kind of pain... i know what you mean. When theres a rock thats a perfecr size and in the perfect spot under your foot and you take a step and sink in slightly while it massages your plantar area... aw man its great.

Enjoying life with the little money they have, unfortunately. Then again so many complain about low salaries yet they don't realize they live in 2-4 story houses!

I haven't posted these on any social media. I was thinking of dumping all of them into a new IG, maybe I'll do that (i deleted my IG a while ago).

Been so lazy to post. Haven't made real lifting progress - just been cutting extra slowly. Enjoying a nice ramadan right now. Getting kinda cut. Not as cut as last time (yet) but I clearly have more muscle so the potential is there.

Oh and I'm in Europe for ~3 months so maybe I'll update with some nice pics at some point.

Don't know what it is about these pics that makes the plate look small, but that's a 10" plate.

Might be the best bakllava i've ever had. There's this afghan spot by my job where i eat lunch most of the time. That's where i get my chicken schawarma, too, with that crack sauce.

Turns out their pizza is surprisingly good as well. Best chicken rolls ive ever had, also. And the chicken parm hero i had yesterday was banging. The burgers tastes VERY weird at first, until i got to the buns+veggies+condiments part of it (the patty sticks out past the buns), where altogether it tastes great

god dammit i love that spot. prices are nice, too!

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: Does anyone else feel it in their glutes while doing calf raises?
« on: March 02, 2017, 09:14:29 am »
I read somewhere that the glutes are also actually plantar flexors due to the way the muslces attach to the knee joint and the physics resulting from that... let me find this before I sound crazy to everyone

edit: i cannot seem to find it. basically, since the anterior and posterior attachments to the knee don't line up perfectly (there is some overlap), and since the leg is a multi-jointed limb, it turns out that flexing the glute causes some slight plantar flexion as well. the physics behind it was interesting.

but thats probably not at all what's causing your glute soreness after calf raises. it does seem like a few people get sore glutes from calf raises, but i havent seen any explanation yet. maybe you are contracting your glutes without realizing? perhaps you're pulling your hips forward to line yourself under the weight properly

^ Yep, I just take 10% to stay on the safe side. Actually, even if I eat 2,900 calories, I count it as 200 calories burned. I bump it up every 1,000 calories.

That 200cal of thermic effect and a few miles of walking burns an extra 500 calories a day. Really makes a difference when I can shove an extra shackburger down my throat and not worry about it  :derp:

Crap man, I haven't been updating as much. Overate the last two days. But I came across of a pic of me looking pretty cut from last August and it gave me a lot of motivation to get back there. Hopefully I don't lose too much muscle on the way back there.

Thinking I'll do shoulders with legs tomorrow, and tomorrow leave abs and calves for the next day
