    improving squats and deads 5x5 hitting wall

    One of the physios I saw put some sort of muscle strength monitoring device on my quads and my left was markedly weaker tensed than my right, despite being left footed. He felt the issues with the knee were caused by the surrounding muscles, but the knee swells with fluid after exercising it...

    improving squats and deads 5x5 hitting wall

    I guess I should have clarified that strengthening the knee is my main problem. Prior to hurting the knee early in December I was squatting 110*5 multiple sets. After the set back it just doesn't seem to be getting stronger - it actually feels like it's unstable. Was looking to try and get some...

    improving squats and deads 5x5 hitting wall

    Cheers JJ, those are the types of things I've been trying - loads of protein, extra squat and lunge variations, etc like hacks, wide stance, front squats. Tried adding cleans too but they seemed to flare up the knee.

I've been doing 5*5 with dead/press one day, squat and bench the other. Usually twice each workout each...

    Venom

    I bought 4 1kg bags of wpi a while back and was suspect due to the consistency of it. Chocolate is actually pretty nice flavor wise but the mango and watermelon ones I got were easily the worst protein I've ever tasted.

    Beginner's equipment

    Do you actually need bumpers? Unless you are literally dropping full height there is not much point. They take up lots more space, are harder to load by not having grips, can't fit as much weight on bars. Safety is a bigger issue benching and that gives you little to none if it goes wrong -...

    Beginner's equipment

    You'll regret buying one of those rubbish combo benches. You get no safety for squats, limited to no safety benching and when you factor in leaving space behind it to squat in it will take up more room than a rack. Cut back 3-400 on the type of plates you buy and get a proper rack or half rack...
