I notice your feet is turned way out when you squat, work on some ankle mobility, straighten them out a little bit and you'll come outta the hole way faster.

Back felt solid, but my rehband are like a pair of loose vaginas, might have to buy some SBDs soon

I feel like forrest gump with his kid leg-retainers walking around with em on

 

U mad?

 

These things are good as fuuuuuq. Fasted leg day

 

Only on my olympic lifts, i squat with em pretty strait. My dorsiflexions fine. Its my lateral gastrocnemious iv been working on wm forever but there like a damn rock from almost 10 years of bike racing lol also iv been doing some reading on squat positions after watching alot of oly lifters, and it could just be how my hips are set up too

Good read, i can see what you're taking about. explains why i suck at low bar.

 

anyone ever do the THOR workout?

 

Quest bars for v-day, she's a keeper

 

Most of the flavor is terrible except for the cookie dough

 

I get the powder a lot. It's delicious.

And this was my date tonight

 

I very rarely train fasted, but I was just ready to workout and didn't feel like eating, so I tried it out and it was amazing. I wanna get the powder now just to spruce up my water!

Did legs yesterday and I'm sore as shit today. Zercher squats are my new favorite leg workout…I'm still mastering technique, so I'm doing lower weight and higher reps with them.



Also Cody, your new ride is sah-weeet.

 

the strawberry lime flavor on bb.com is da bomb

 

If I get anything, I'd probably get Scivation Xtend just because it's got 2 more grams of BCAA's and it's got great reviews. Whatever I get, I wanna mix a couple scoops in a gallon of water to sip on throughout the day. Plain water gets old.





Does anyone have a Fitbit? I think I'm going to get one next week. I'm looking at the Charge HR; it does your daily steps, distance, calories burned, sleep tracking and detection, a watch, vibrating alarm, floors climbed, active minutes recorder, heart rate monitor, and caller id; it's the second-best one, behind the Surge, which is $100 more and also has multisport workout summaries, text notification, music control, and GPS.

Here's the one I'm getting; it's $150








Here's the Surge that's $250:

 

That's why I buy it. To spruce up my water.

And the Xtend is delicious

 

I have the Gear2 for my S5

and with it, I learned my usual school day has me walking around 5 miles. lol

 

Damn! I'm eager to see how much I walk per day.

 

I have a mio alpha and link it with my strava.

 

the sleep tracker and whatnot are pretty cool, as is the heart rate monitor

gotta try set it up to track gym workouts



the only thing is I hate wearing watches when doing anything with freeweights or things like front squats

gotta get used to it, i guess
