Your knees are bad for squats

 

Heard that. I'd be great at squats if I didn't have all these goddamn knees.

 

Im surprized you don’t like the barbell on chest.

Dumbell chest movements hurt my rotator cuffs more. Barbell bench gives me more stability.

Funny how were all different.

If I’m in a lot of shoulder pain - military presses make it pretty much dissapear.

 

I guess I’m erring on the side of caution by keeping the weight lighter hile recovering. It does a tiny hurt a bit throwing the dumbbells up, but having the mobility to adjust where th shoulder joint twists slightly while coming up is nice. Also being able to just bail out and drop them if need be is nice reassurance.

I did barbell military shoulder presses a few days ago going in front and behind the head (again lighter weight, reps in the 8 to 12 range) and it didn’t feel too bad. A bit sore from stretching, but having straight overhead didn’t feel any worse than while lying down.

Odly enough, some of the most painful positions are when holding the bar with it on my back while squatting. It’s a very strained bent position when the elbow goes back a bit

 

No, nobody ever tried this program you douchebag.

 

Seriously. I love peoples' excuses. 99% of the time when people say they don't have tome for ____, they're just lazy.

I'm similar. I used to spend 4 hrs on Sunday meal prepping these ornate meals, but got burnt out on it. Now, I only have 3 meals to prep per week and I do them all on different days and it takes less than an hour to have them cooked and put away.

- pot roast, potatoes, and gravy in the crock pot...easy
- pasta and ground beef...easy
- chicken and rice...easy

^^^all of that I cook in batches of 7 and rotate from the freezer to the fridge as needed.

Only thing I cook daily is my eggs...I just cook those before I go to bed and reheat them in the morning.

 

Why don’t you cook eggs in bulk? I cook 4 days worth of breakfast eggs (a dozen) at a time and 6 days worth of hard boiled (a dozen). They taste fine to me

 

Eww, that's nasty. How are you guys cooking eggs, that it takes that long? Takes about a minute, cleaning the skillet takes longer than that.

 

My biggest challenge recovering from rotator cuff surgery was and still is my squat.

For a while I would get tears in my eyes trying to hold the weighted bar. I still struggle with heavier weights if I take too long to finish my set lol.

People think I’m stuggling with my squat and I’m like no you don’t understand, my shoulder hurts like hell. Haha

 

I don't want my fridge smelling like a fart. I've tried the egg cups and don't like them. I like my eggs scrambled with cheese. 3 day old scrambled eggs sounds pretty nasty.

Yeah, it takes like 3 mins lol...that's why I don't bother prepping with eggs.

 

Are you talking about hard boiled eggs that take 3 mins? I put mine in a pot, cover with water, put on the stove and wait til they start boiling. Then I turn the stove off and set timer for 17 minutes, then peel of course after submerging them in cold water. Maybe I'm still doing it the old fashioned way.

 

If you would've read the top part of my post:

I love boiled egg whites, but I hate the yolks...too chalky and I can't eat them. Only way I can eat the yolks is scrambled.

 

Also, the only reason I cook my eggs the night before and not the morning of is because I am the furthest thing from a morning person that exists. I wake up at 7:30 and walk into work at 8

 

Yep, you're right, my mind processed it as boiled eggs for some reason since the previous poster mentioned "hardboiled".



Maybe its this new Preworkout that I tried. Makes me feel like I'm going to need a trashcan. I'm not sure why it makes me feel like that.

 

Haha right?! I’m sure people wonder why I throw the bar on the rack and start windmilling my arms about after every set!

I was feeling brave and wanted to try some skull crushers, so I put on some pretty light weight on the bar, went to put it over my head, one rep and immediately said fuck this and put it all back. Best set ever!

 

Take 12 eggs. Crack them in a bowl. Add 8oz cheese. Mix. Pour into a 12 slot muffin pan. Bake at 425 for ~10minutes. Let cool. Put in fridge. No fart smell. Microwave for 1min before eating (I eat 3 every morning). Buffins . Taste just like a scrambled egg.

Then I boil 12 eggs for hard boiled to snack on throughout the day (2 a day, with hot sauce). I stick them in the pot. Add water. Bring to a boil. Let sit 10min. Dump in a bowl of ice. Let sit 10min. Peel. Easy peasy. The only time it smells like farts is during the peeling. Fridge never smells

 

Yolks are only chalky if you overcook them. I overcooked my last batch bc I got distracted and forgot I was cooking them and they sat in the hot water for like 3 hours

 

NO Xplode made me feel that way. Too much fizz.

I think it's more of the yolk taste itself that bugs me. I don't like it boiled, runny, etc...Only way I can eat them is when they're disguised with the whites.

 

When doing chest, you use your delts as well. I do a couple exercises to warm up my anterior delts on chest days.

I don't know how you guys do boiled eggs, especially in the morning.

 

Buffins...
Thats like an egg a peice... you only eat 3?

Then 2 hard boiled eggs for a snack?

... do you even lift bro?
