He did have a foam pad for his knees.

I would need one for my face when I failed.

I actually just "tap" my knees on the ground when I do lunges, but never fails, my knees have black circles the next day

 

Honeymoon. We didn’t go on one in November when we got married because some places were trying to shut back down.

 

They’re basically gold. Sold out everywhere but most report adding 20lbs to their overhead and squat PR simply by wearing them.

 

Lmao whoever reporting that is full of shit.

They help with stability but I've never noticed a 20lb increase just by wearing them.

 

I am squatting 4 times a week right now while doing my other main lifts as well.

Tuesday: 2ct pause back squat and log press
Wednesday: strict overhead and split squat
Friday: 2ct pause back squat and deadlifts
Saturday: front squat and bench....

I'm dying, but it's kinda fun. This whole block is all about building my endurance back up. Two sets of main lifts, loads of accessories, then ending on conditioning like emom sandbag carries or sled drags. All while in a slight calorie deficit to cut some fat... Shit sucks lol

 

Have you tried jogging?

also. It’s bulking season baby! 3 months to put on some mass then cutting down to 198 for the comp. YEE yee!

 

They probably would add 20lbs to your squat tho. Because what is that like a 2% increase in strength? Placebo effect alone could do that.

Now it adds 20lbs to my squat it's fucking black magic.

I feel like our definitions of endurance are different.

 

I noticed a strength increase only when Injected my nike romaleos.. Not wearing them tho.

 

Update: romaleos make the booty more sore after leg day activities. Gonna sale em.

 

Lol wut

 

Glutes are feeling it from front squat/deadlift day lol

 

That means your activating your glutes finally instead of squatting on your toes...


You aren't deadlifting in these squat shoes right? Please tell me you arent lol

 

Definitely not. Should i?

 

Sure if you're an olympic lifter doing heavy pulls to power position.

 

Will they help me with stones since they make me taller

 

They help me but not because of being taller. Moreso stability and balance while seated with the stone on your lap

 

Guess who gets to train with a pro strongman next Friday? This guy! Keg press is gonna get some work hopefully.

 

Who is it?

 

He’s a 105k pro. Andy Deck. Trains local and my coach trains with him a lot so he hooked it up.

 

So this happened this weekend....
