i don't necessarily think any ab exercises is superior to any other, so I do all of them in rotation.

Interesting swap for the DE squats.
What is wrong with the knee Bill? Any better?

I've been in the same boat lately, can't seem to squat much without medial knee pain. I was convinced it was a meniscus tear but mri said all I have is water on the knee.

Do you think suspended chain GMs have any advantage over concentric GMs off pins?

Great session anyway mate. I see you have really upped your volume over the course of the last 6 weeks or so.

quad tendon at insertion to patella is very bad, either partial tear or tendonitis. either way I can't get out of the hole without hurting it. so I haven't been squatting, at all, been doing all GMs and deadlifts b/c they don't hurt the knee.

sucks dude.

I think chain suspended are better I don't like doing anything off pins really except the occasional rack pull.

Since I can't squat, I've tried to up my volume to make up for it, especially on my hamstring accessories.

Why doesn't that guy have a log I can stalk?

Damn good considering.

yep, not looking forward to it.

Damn good considering.

even considering busted knee and all the other factors, 66% of my single ply max feeling heavy as hell is disheartening...but at the same time motivating, because hey, I SQUATTED. FINALLY!

Two things if I may:

(1) Is that initial ass back movement part of habit or a mechanic in your movement?

(2) Cliff is an animal!



Hope everything holds up between now and your DE day. Will you be doing box squats or more rehab and accessories?

[isaku900]

intentional mechanic, sets my arch and opens my hips so I can actively push my knees out and engage my hamstrings and glutes better.

(2) Cliff is an animal!

yes he is.

It'll depend mostly on how I feel. If my knee is doing well, I'll probably start to build towards doing DE work again, but for now it will likely be rep work until my body is used to squatting again and can feel the weight properly.

[takeittakeit]

Why doesn't that guy have a log I can stalk?

I'm busy doing the Cliff logging method: Log nothing, get stronger.

I've got a log over on the team forum. Though I haven't posted anything since around September, and I won't until January.

Injury or no, time off or no, your squat form is a thing of beauty Bill.

[ampUP11]

How often are you not using accommodating resistance for your ME bench movements? I've been seeing bands/chains almost every time, just curious if it phases out closer to a meet or during deloads/etc...

[ink81]

Awesome range of equipment. Love the music too. Beats getting ready to go for a Max Lift and all of a sudden Beiber comes on channel [V]
