Hey ya'll; back again with another training log.

Since tearing a hamstring tendon?

Never haha.

 

Thiiiiiiissss close to pulling 500 finally. It’s coming along, boys. I’m getting closer to the big boy 600lb club!

 

They can be a pain but it’s got to be done! One of the most underrated muscle groups IMO

You got this! If you can break it off the floor you most likely already had the horsepower to make it happen- from my personal experience at least...

 

Probably my biggest regret in my athletic career was doing too much on the deadlifts. I have 3 slipped discs and a pinched nerve now. Left leg is much weaker than my right as a result.

 

Sounds like you didn't know how to deadlift...


Be well

 

Congrats man, i've gotten 500 to the knee but ran out of gas lol

 

I used to have a tight lower back after deadlift days. I took some time to work on bands, form, speed and hamstring strength. After a max effort workout last night, I have zero pain or tightness today.

you can always get hurt while lifting but form really can go a long way.

 

Dude I want it so bad my deadlift is trash compared to others in my weight class so I’m trying to play catch up.

Once I hit it tho... it’s just gonna be “okay now let’s get to 600” oh the cruel cycle

 

probably true. I'm a recovering crossfit junkie. I only do lifting on the offseason now, lighter weights, and range of motion work. Biking is my main gig now.

 

Wait you hurt your back from doing crossfit deadlifts? That makes sense then lol

 

Have any of you heard of this brand of supplements? https://getkion.com/
If not, check them out...they make good stuff.

I’ve been using their Aminos Powder https://getkion.com/products/kion-aminos-powder and am liking it quite a bit so far.

 

Will it give me big muscles?

 

It’ll make you feel like a true Viking.

 

No thanks

 

Your mistake was not doing more deadlifts..

 

Attempted a 405 squat today for the first (and second) time. Failed both times. All my warmups moved extremely fast. Think I may have just gotten mind fucked by the number.

 

You did for sure.

Also why do you squat so wide? Also why don't you root your feet cause your knees start to cave and makes me think weak abducters....

Edit: really, why does no one root their feet? Is that not standard instruction?

 

I used to squat shoulder width. It was fine for a long time, then one day my knees randomly started hurting. I started squatting wide and it went away. So, I’ve squatted that wide ever since.
