So I injured my knee skeeing around christmas, hurts pretty bad when bending it or putting pressure on it so I supposedly need to take some time off from squats and DLs (which I love doing!).
...

Just use socks then... duh?

I squat and deadlift in socks, I even run on the treadmill in socks. It has all the benefits of barefooting, yet without all the hassle of being skin to icky floor.

Its fine, no problem tbh.

This, you can call off the hunt now

lol

Buy plates, or just use the damn clamps, they weigh 0.6lbs a piece, so put two extra on for an additional pound, jeesh, you'd think you need to be a genious to figure this **** out

seems legit, now stop visiting the forum and come back in 1 year with before and after pictures

This is all useless info without numbers. Some people claim to have been squatting for 4 months yet cant even squat 250lbs

What the, 8-12? Dont. Just dont.

And as for Dumbell isntead of Barbell, you're already having trouble building strength on it on the barbell variant, do you really think its going to get easier...

I'd say take TWO weeks off, and adjust your program.

People are idiots and cant tell whether your back is straight enough or not. Post a video if you really want to know whats going on or we're just guessing

If youre still not even breaking 100lbs on the bench, its not a good idea to STOP training for strength. Even if you 'hypertrophy' a 100lb bench it wont look big. Stick as close to the program as you...

Yes, I do believe that it is this elasticity achieved by not pausing at the chest level of the press that he is referring to, I find myself using it aswell, so I'm also kinda curious, there is...

Nah you could definately go slow on the gains, no need to rush it. And if you're serious about rippetoes, you NEED chalk for the deads. It will make it so much easier.

The low deadlift really seems wierd to me, I kept going up 10-20lbs per workout on it, until at least 225x5, which happened really fast. The press is always going to be a real hard exercise,...

Regardless of that, this is slanted, do you still think I could squat on it?

And to above, I'm trying to just 3x5 my squats at the moment, so every time is a max right now :S

No, the gym has one of these so I can get it onto my back without problem, but the gym is really empty by the time I get there so I dont...

Hello fellow BBers, I recently started working out again after a long hiatus, during which I moved to a new area in the city aswell, now in the nearby gym, there is a huge lack in equipment that...

You dont loose a years worth of working out by being sick for one week, jesus christ. You're still tired and a bit swolen, thats it.
