Rob112^3...That means cubed guys. See what I did?

Knee wraps don't necessarily help the knees in my experience. Especially when wrapped extremely tight like most do for the added pop.


It could be extremely useful for overload, and could definitely be used sparingly for those that don't use them in competition.


But, my wife absolutely cannot use knee wraps. Sleeves? No problem. Wraps? Cause a ton of pain for her.

I think knee wraps hurt everyone at first, and each time you learn to up the tension on tem. Just rolling some cheapies on would be a good start. You can always try later or train without them. I'd like to see what sleeves are all about sometime.

They didn't hurt me.


It wasn't like a good, you'll get over it and feel better hurt. It was like a that's pulling my knee cap in a way it should never go, hurt.


It ended up hurting her for the rest of the day after I put it on, and I didn't even tighten it that much.
 
Always flex your quad the whole time the knee is being wrapped. If they're not for her, they're not for her. That's fine.
 
This explains my bench to a T...or a ch? Whatever. First rep super slow, second rep faster, smoother, tighter. I will have to incorporate some 80-90% singles raw and/or 110% or so singles with my sling shot to try and fix this. Any other tips or agree/disagree let me know. Otherwise, enjoy the video :D

It's similar to most big movements. Once you break inertia, it's generally easier the second rep.

The catch 22 is we are after that 1st rep. I figure it is worth a shot to work to get closer to my second rep first...if that makes sense.

I can't remember where I heard it, but there's an old adage that the better you are at reps, the worse you are at singles.

If you're having an issue with that first rep, then try pause reps. On bench, do singles of pin presses as it'll eliminate the stretch reflex and requires pure force and technique. Box squats with a complete pause (stay tight, though) and then make sure to film your self from the side on pulls. It's often a positioning issue of pulls.

Lol it's nice, ill give ya that. Lyrics in his songs are legit too. Better than some of the stuff I typically listen to in a lyric sense
 
Bench
155 x 3, 175 x 3, 200 x 5, 220 x 3(pr, taped...phone falls for a second so be patient)
Tried pin press...felt bad on forearm
Close grip sling shot-225 x 3 sets of 5
Pendlay Row-135 x 3, 155 x 3, 175 x 3, 185 x3 x 3
Face pulls-60 x 5sets x 15 at different heights

Still battling a sinus infection but did good in spite of not being 100%. Warmed up light curl variations and a voodoo floss bench with bar only. 220 felt fine so that is an awesome sign. I wasn't planning on the pause, but I felt like I was gathering myself better in the moment.

Pulls tomorrow! Back is feeling good! Let's not **** this up bobby! Haha

Pulls
250 x 3, 285 x 3, 320 x 4, 355 x 2
Block Pulls-275 x 3, 325 x 3, 345 x 3 x 2
SLDL-225 x 5 x 2
Wide stance wood chops-60 x 8es x 2


Doesn't look like much but this was grueling. My hands are tore up, back is worked, and I feel but up in a good way. Working up and starting to hit heavier weights. It's a process, but I'm getting back.

No videos bc time was a factor and I was solo.
