trying to learn how to foam roll= rolling around like an idiot on the thing

5'9", 194 lbs uh oh...haha

I also like to use a lacrosse ball for SMR as well to release muscle tension.

yeah lol. probably not, just going to lift but will probably be about 188 ish. will continue cutting down to 170-175 and hopefully maintain that strength

I've been getting a lot more serious with Muay Thai and my focus has been with that. Lifting 2-3 times a week for strength and endurance. Floating around 194-196. It's rough on your body though, but my shins are getting more conditioned. May see me compete

pepper your angus for the rolling

sucks big time at first, but after a good week of it, it stops hurting so much, at least until you get a super sore day.

hit legs yesterday for the first time since 2 weeks, cause of my trip to Thailand, foam rolling today was torture.

[aCb123]

Hit 275x12 beltless front squat the other week. Been training legs once every two weeks for a month or two now in hopes of my hip healing (which is doubtful since its been hurting for 6+ months) and it seems like i'm not losing any strength. Also ordered some Romulos II and those should arrive soon. Been using my rogue dowins for 3 years now and it was time for a new pair.

yeah man busted hip blows. get excruciating hip pain from back squats/deads. fronts feel much better, but at times the pain is almost unbearable.

Not sure if these are "good", but here are a couple

[BobisMighty]

Ah I need to watch these again. My form is awful.

[slatts98]

austeen checking in.. more lean towards the powerlifitng aspects of training .

what do you guys think about the tommy konos sleeves/ compared to the grey rehband knee sleeves?

[ftwrestler]

tfw high reps




upping intensity without weight, while going through therapy.

[TheStigIsBig]

[ftwrestler]

[TheStigIsBig]

do not buy the tommy konos they are garbage and one of mine ripped within a month of getting it. spend the extra money for the rehbands they are 10000x better and that is not an exaggeration.

[AdamDTX]

what do you guys do for core exercises? I've neglected mine for a long time and just been starting over the past month or so.

[CuriousGM]

Squats with a side of squats. Just for good measure, throw in some front squats.

Hey quick question for you guys. Would you happen to guesstimate how much a bench press would be with a db press of 120x10?

I havent been able to bp in a while, so this is all I could do for the time being.

[BobisMighty]

lately i alternate some bodyweight core exercises. some days i end with leg raises superset with back extensions, next day i do plank variations, next day some russian twists. i don't go overboad and i try to superset them with back extensions or GHRs, but just some high volume bodyweight stuff.

Sup MSC? Back from Banned Camp and here is a brief run down of what went on.

Got hurt benching possible tore shoulder again will get checked out when I get home.

Finally got 315lbs on jerks after switching to a drop and just barely missed 335.

Back is messed up so I haven't been able to squat for about 3 weeks.

managed to get my fat ass up onto a 42" box for reps on box jump.

haven't really lost any more weight just have been stable around 295lbs will start major cut when I get home.

and finally my body is just banged up and burnt out from not doing a ton of training before coming to school.

[zj95maxx]

425 squat at about 166-167lbs

Welcome back Marcoccia brah!

Nice man. Gives me hope for sticking with high bar.

Hi Strength Bros. Not been in here for a while.
Hit a real low, bodyweight, strength, and training-wise about xmas time.
Bad times.
Fast forward to today, and my weight is back up, strength is back up, and my brain is working much more nicely.
Probably caused by my sexy new singlet. How could a man not train better, and sexier, wearing a singlet? Hnnnggg.
Anyhoo, best bench of the year. SO FAR.
