Also im not sure long armed guys are always pec dominant at benching cause im all tris when I bench but then again I suck at benching so yeah

Squats are looking good malaka, what shoes are those? I need to buy some lifts soon, using 1.25kg plates under my heels when I squat isnt ideal

I need to buy squat shoes myself. Those are Sabo deadlift shoes. I put heel inserts for squats because my left ankle isn't mobile enough (I am flat footed on my left foot only lol). I really like Sabo, problem is it's a Russian company and they're embargoed. I might be able to buy the sabo squat/powerlift shoes through a Japanese store (mbcpower.jp). I had Adidas olympic shoes but they weren't good and too narrow for my wide feet. Also trying to avoid companies with woke agendas.

I am just deep enough to pass. Knee and hip joint must be at the same level (top of knee with top of hip or bottom/bottom).

Lower the weight and work your way back up going deeper, it will only take a month or two to get back to the same weight and you wont be a quarter squatter

You know what I love, the third day of my 3 days off each week, honestly feels like im walking around with a full body pump if ive eaten and slept properly all three days. by Saturday IE three days into my 4 days lifting I feel like an old man but today it feels like im walking on air.

For years I fucked around with contrast showers, magnesium baths, thai deep tissue maggaes lol I think sleep and food trump all of those by far, light stretching might be next I think

Anastasios which shoe are you thinking of getting? we have such a hard time buying WL shoes here, no stores stock them so yoiu cant size them right

I basically want a really high heel and something cheap cause this isnt that important, Im thinking of Do-wins they are cheaper and I always wanted the timber heel even though we dont have a platform or hard floor at my gym which kinda negates the purpose

If it wasnt the end of the school year and I wasnt paying 600AUD a week in extra tuition for my retarded kids id be looking at these bad boys

400AUD shoes to rep 3 plates on foam in a commercial gym hahahaha

That would be very very homosexual of me, I wont be getting those till I can rep 5 plates so basically never lol

Just tried ordering some black 95 dollar Do-Wins that would cost me 146AUD in shipping lol I hate Asstralia cant wait to go back to Israel

Aye. It's the right course of action. Just sucks to lower weight.

Have you considered a little Gua sha? lol

How does one do drops for squats? two people pulling plates off the bar or were the racks empty?

It seems I won't be able to buy the sabo squat shoes, that Japanese store doesn't ship overseas. I might go with the DoWins. Maybe Nike Romaleos, I'll see.

nah, took'em off myself. took around 15 seconds each time. I had 1 20kg plate as base on each side, and then a bunch of 5's. so just took off a 5 each time.
