I do roll hammies, glutes, outsides, fronts, and insides of quads. Calves as well. I knees don't travel over toes...every once in a while my right knee likes to wobble. When it does I rack the weight and stretch a bit more. I do see what you guys mean though when you say front squats hurt the back less and low bar back squats hurt more, although I feel stronger in the low bar
Trying to get my bro to go to my gym today we will see, I bet I'm 240 pounds right now:thumb:
I've had a out 20 cookies between yesterday and today. Got some knee sleeves from the wife, walked around in em for and hour and I impressed thus far.
Merry xmas to all you muscle heads

Drove to Oklahoma,got a little tipsy Friday night. Today,squats 135 x10x2. 185x10x3. 225x10x1. Front squats 115x10x3. Leg press 4 sets. Leg curls 4 sets. Glute machine 4 sets. Calf raises. Cardio. Back was a little sore before I hit the gym so I didn't want to go to heavy. Merry Christmas
Did a bunch of reading and studying and watching videos of others and myself last night. Found out my bench form was slightly off. Made 2 small adjustments today...widened grip by about 1/2-3/4" a side and got a better base with my feet and utilizing leg drive. Let me tell ya that made a massive difference today in bench. Last week 170 kicked my ass and today 185 moved really well.
Warmed up with high rep, low weight face pulls and some rotator cuff work to warm up the shoulders.

Low cable crossover and some 1 arm dB triceps extension. Felt good and I didn't get to the totally sore/fatigued which is good and the left shoulder didn't hurt or get overdone which has been an issue for me in the past since it's been surgically repaired. All in all I feel that I will start seeing a better improvement than what i was previously.

Just got back from 2 weeks in Kaui Hawaii
I'm fat and tan instead of jacked and tan:thumb:
Hit the gym pretty much every day. Lifts were all off thanks to sub par equipment and freaking humidity, so I just went with what felt good and tried not to over do it.
Bw is fluffy 217... Time for some cardio and a bit of a cut over the next month or 2 will see if i can get down in the 200 range and maintain this muscle mass.
Hope all of ya are having great holidays.
As far as urine and hydration, I watch for dark stinky urine (dehydration) and clear urine (over hydration) unless your taking some sups, they can make your urine look pretty funky and smell. So I pretty much stick to a gallon or so of water a day is about perfect for me.

Been sick as a dog for the past week. havent been to the gym in 10 days. Are all my muscles gone now?
Na, you will bounce back...
Jumped on the scale this morning, 199! I haven't been below 200 since I can't remember. Been trying hard to cut some weight since I'm out for a few more weeks. Seems to be working so far.
Kaui is fun, very laid back and lots of hiking if that's your thing. Plenty of beaches and mountains to climb around on. The some of the locals aren't as friendly as other islands but it's not bad.
Need to visit Pearl again, that place really gets me in my feels...
And as Corbin mentioned, no off topic in here lol, we cover about anything.
