Texas Method

Those adipowers rock! And even requiem got those rehband knee sleeves. What's the difference between those and wraps? I'm thinking of buying a pair. How much were they?

Oh, and solid VD. Strong and volimunous (if that's a word).

To my understanding wraps can be worn so tight as to wear they contribute to your lifts acting as an aid to lift more weight (they can also be light enough wear they dont depending on how u wear em) sleeves on the other hand just keep ur knees and connective tissue warm.

Hey bud, can you recommend some knee sleeves that you use? I'm thinking I may need to get some for winter.

[Opeth09]

Dude you are getting strong as hell in here. Awesome. Glad to have you back on the bb logs raping the weights

Post some progress pics of dem abs haha

[fittofattofit]

Thanks all!

Yeah adipowers rock. They distribute more of the weight to your quads than most ppl are prolly used to so I need to get used to that but they are amazingly solid. Squatting with them on is like squatting with ur feet glued to the floor.

And the knee sleeves rock as well - P - they essentially just keep ur knees warm and prevent injury while squatting. With my knee acting up last week i didnt wanna push anything so i purchased em. I love em.

I havent been able to make it to ppls logs but but i should be able to soon.

My last id was 340x4 squats, failed on OHP, and 335x5 for dl. My diets been slacking so im going to commit to GOMAD - its harder to eat properly when ur in school unfortuanately.

Great work on the squats and deads Musid. Your knees and that glute tweak must have settled back down pretty quickly

[HunterMC6]

Damn man it has been a while since I dropped by this log, your lifts are huge now. Keep up the good work!

[Sinaku5]

Thanks all!

Yeah andrew knees feel fine now glutes still not 100 percent but im stretching and foam rolling it like none other. Glute does feel much better tho

Hey bud, can you recommend some knee sleeves that you use? I'm thinking I may need to get some for winter.

Rehbands are the sleeves that receive the most praise around here that i see, so i got them and i love em. IK andrew is getting the tommy konos on monday so id check his opinion on them before getting anything but ive heard stories of ppl buying the konos vs rehbands and everyone liked the rehbands more from what ive seen at least.

Id be interested to hear Andrews word on them.

[nads786]

Really strong volume benching bro I was hoping for that with the 235 last week to bad it didn't happen.

Also so jelly you have a ghr machine

[AvgLifter]

Nice job on bench. Man, that's awesome that you have access to a real GHR now. I used to do the whole lat pulldown band-assisted GHR setup and that always wrecked my knees. Strong all around as always.

[Opeth09]

Agreeing with everyone else... GHR Machine = freaking lucky man haha. Good squatting also.

[fittofattofit]

Looking really strong on those squats Musid! Nice work on the power cleans and GHRs as well (I love GHRSs )

[pyaarawala]

Nice squatting, those were deep and so badass. And yeah you having a GHR machine is awesome. And being able to do 5x10 BW GHRs is also pretty great. Keep up the great work musid

[Sinaku5]

Ty everyone! I appreciate all the support! And yeah - GHR machine does rock, my hammys are still a lil sore lol.

The GHR machine is what encouraged me to do my volume squats at the school's gym.

Notes: Squats felt off and awkwardly tough - may have been the GHRs. Also Im going to go back to progressing OHP on volume days until that stalls out I think.

[Sinaku5]

[fittofattofit]

OHPs looking strong Musid ... no leg drive at all!

Deadlift
340x5

Notes: I got terrible sleep last night, woke up with a headache and aching muscles today. I was going to completely skip this intensity day session because I didn't think it would be productive at all. To my surprise I was wrong.

[fittofattofit]

Great session and great vids Musid!
Really strong benching and the form looked solid .. you've got plenty more strength to close in on a 3pps single
Squats are very strong .. a little bit of 'good morning' the weight up from the hole but it never looked difficult
Deads are looking easy for you and you're looking really thick ... you've added a lot quality mass over the last 6 months

[pyaarawala]

Wow strong bench is strong! Good job pushing through and getting in a decent ID.

[nads786]

Strong ass bench dude! Huge PR!!! How are you making these huge jumps.

I didnt even notice the good morning on the squat.

Id still like to get better control of my lumbar spine in the deadlift.

[Sinaku5]
