Squats and chocolate milk. I still yell that at random women who complain their workouts aren't doing anything.

Khorne posted:I've been doing front squats lately. And 2 second pause at quarter or half squat on the way up back squats. They are both very annoying for entirely different reasons. It sucks pausing there because that's where the greatest compressive force occurs on the knee. You're loving up bad, bro. If you're going to pause do it below parallel.

Some guy asked me to spot him doing squats on the Smith machine. I was all, "how exactly do you want me to do that?". He said, "stand real close behind me and put one of your forearms on my lower back and another in front of me across my abs". I said, "Nah, bro it's the Smith machine you'll be good" and walked away.

But i needed to feel a mans embrace, it's been so long, and you denied me. I think I destroyed my shins and calves running. It's what I get for doing cardio. Time to let them heal and never do legs and cardio ever again.

Why is rowing infinitely harder than every form of cardio besides swimming? Why is water so hard tho.

Oh come on it's not that bad. But yes water is 1000x as dense as air, that's why it's such a great workout.

sassassin posted:Your program sucks. I'm not buying that it will hurt your knees. If it were true then squatting, even below parallel, would hurt your knees eventually because you're applying the same force every rep just for less time. And the programming isn't "half squats" it's pause in half squat position then finish the rep with a relatively light weight. There are plenty of normal back squats and front squats in the programming as well, often on the same day. I get that terminal half squatters who use heavy weight often have knee problems. It makes sense, but the volume isn't there. 32 reps total in the 4 weeks, if I just ran the 4 cycles over and over it'd be something like 96-128 reps per year depending and at low intensity.

Khorne posted:It doesn't go above 70% 1rm on reps that pause there, and it's a fairly widely used program. It's also only in one of the four week cycles, the lightest one overall, and it has helped immensely with form. Below parallel the force on the joint at the point of greatest stress (accelerating up form a stop/downward movement) is trying to pull your knee apart, which your quadriceps are designed to work against. Above parallel the force is compressive, trying to push your knee bits together. There is no muscle fighting that pressure. There's no advantage to what you're doing. Your program is dumb.

sassassin posted:There's no advantage to what you're doing. Your program is dumb. The advantage is in form and controlling descent. When you pause at that position you tend to not excessively forward lean and do shift back a bit more. Which carries over nicely to correcting form when you aren't pausing. There are literally 2 days of them out of 4 months of programming. "My knee had a bit of extra compressive force, it is forever damaged" is not how the body works. I don't plan on running them in future cycles because the issue has already been corrected, but they were useful. Saying a Sheiko program is dumb is kinda silly. The only thing dumb about Sheiko programs is they are time consuming, and if time were a limiting factor you'd be better served on something with less sets of higher reps. edit: Like, think of it as impulse placed upon the knee. It's likely not going to be 10x more than a normal rep, and even if it were that's completely acceptable given the rep scheme for the paused squats is 3x1 @ 50%, 3x1 @ 60%, 3x4@70% in reps x sets.

Ever since I twerked my back on those pullups I've been getting random pains there doing simple things like pulling a box or bending down.

If it's the same thing then good news for you because it's a solvable problem that won't require, like, surgery or anything crazy like that proof of concept fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Oct 11, 2016 |

It's only sciatica if he strained his low back or glutes doing pull ups  Sounds like more a bottoming-in-the-sauna-gone-wrong thing.

Khorne posted:That same compressive force is on your knee before you break parallel and after you rise above it. Pausing for a second or two isn't going to break the bank. Force is mass times acceleration. Descending or ascending at a steady rate through that portion of the lift creates far less force than moving after a pause or change in direction. This is basic maths.

But if you're only doing a little bit of pointlessly damaging nonsense I guess it's alright.

I have recurring piriformis problems and I get the popping too. If it was really hurt you would know it.

If squats paused at your sticking point break your knees you probably had a garbage body anyway
