Don't take goon advice and do what this guy recommended. Improper rehabilitation is responsible for so many extra problems for people down the line - I'm sure lots of people have injuries they didn't take care of when they were younger that affect their ability to do important lifts.

Greg Legg posted:Walking with the kid in that carrier thing you strap on was good cardio. I used to take the kid on long 4-5 mile walks every morning before he turned 1 because it put him back to sleep. Having a kid definitely made my workouts more efficient and having a home gym helped I have four kids between 1 and 11 years of age and have no idea how many hours I've spent with a baby or toddler sleeping against my torso like that but it's a lot.

Is it just my gym or did everyone suddenly start spending 80% of the time stretching and rolling around in those weird cylinder things instead of actually working out?

Uh... on, they don't have hamster-wheel style thingies yet. *sprints to the patent office* And yeah I've seen people do it before of course, but this week and especially today was just everyone rolling around on the floor doing god knows what. Certainly not complaining of course, better that then occupying the squat rack.

nooneofconsequence posted:is muscle "activation" a real thing or just typical warm-up bullshit? I was having significant unilateral knee pain because of patellar chondromalacia only squatting like 225-255 last year and then I went to the PT and he told me I needed to activate my glutes and gave me like 3 warmup exercises and I did them for about 6 weeks before learning how to do it (specifically activate my glutes) with just a regular warmup but yeah now I squat 350 and have literally zero knee pain so it might be hocus pocus but boy I sure don't think so. edit: I know this isn't a ton of weight but I'm old and it's definitely the most weight I've ever squatted and I don't have any pain doing it so I feel pretty good about it.

One of them is almost certainly squeezing your glutes together as hard as possible for thirty seconds. I've been doing that for a while, and it works.

I met with my physio therapist and told him about my ruined elbow thats ruined. He stopped me and was like ".....you started speed benching, didnt you"? Another victory for the conjugate method

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:it might be hocus pocus but boy I sure don't think so. Not specifically pain related but I know for a fact the author (medical doctor, squats 600+, cofounder of a company that promotes evidence based training especially wrt pain) feels the same way about the effect of glute inhibition on pain. Unfortunately most of the material he and his business partner put out nowadays is in podcast format so it's hard to link their takes on specific topics. https://startingstrength.com/article/diagnosing_silly_bullshit quote:Fitness Buzzwords: A Primer Here's something to think about as an alternate explanation for your recovery.

Just start lifting weights as soon as possible after sitting/laying down for a long time. The heavier the better.

dont want to waste valuable lifting energy. you need to sit/lie right back down after you're done too if you want to recover properly

thanks all for the ohp advice, I started extending the spine and laying back a little, belted up to support my core, and threw in more volume by way of the 5/3/1 Forever first set last and broke through my 1-plate 1RM OHP goal today A year ago my shoulder sounded like microwaving popcorn and I could barely get 100 pounds over my head for reps, so I'll take this for what it's worth

I put my back out doing 140lb squats as part of GVT, so the thread can collectively say "I told you so." Took a couple days off and am finishing the week's program of arm and shoulder work and am taking really easy otherwise.

Inappropriate jumps in volume are a known injury risk https://youtu.be/V43mSQEjZY8 If you want to do tons of volume you could try something like RP Physique (expensive tho) which builds you up to tons of sets. I set it up so I had 15 sets of squats last week lol but I built up to it over 6 weeks and now have a deload. If you want to focus on strength Barbell Medicine's and Greg Nuckol's programs are good and have a measured approach to volume

turd in my singlet posted:Inappropriate jumps in volume are a known injury risk I always found it amusing when someone would question the RP Physique volume like "It only has me doing 3 sets on week 1 is this thing set up properly?" Cut to week four and it's just quiet whimpering coming from the floor.

Unfortunately most of the material he and his business partner put out nowadays is in podcast format so it's hard to link their takes on specific topics. Maybe the "activation" is just sort of acting as an indirect cue? You sit there and do a few bird dogs and 1 leg hip fucks into the air or whatever and your brain is suddenly focused on your rear end and using it good. Perhaps that helps in the squat? I know for a fact the McGill Big 3 helps before I squat or dead. Is it just placebo? Or could it be what I said? Or maybe its something else indirect. For instance most glute activation stuff can stretch your hip flexors a little, perhaps that has an effect?
