Pull-ups are literally the only way to get better at pull-ups. I don't care how strong you can row or lat pulldown. It's different for whatever reason

I'm trying man. I think if I actually look like I lift, then start lifting heavy, then I'll be lifting real heavy.

Quads/calves up 0.5" from being down 2.5"/1" (quads/calves) from the injury and 15lb weightloss over the last half of last year and my waist is down 1.5".

Knee is pretty good, just tracking issues right now on the left knee, all the swelling in the knee last year kind of re-wrote how it tracks now. So sorting out that main issue.

Trying a flat shoe to see how the knee responds versus the Romaleos, surprised my squats looked as decent as they did.

Since I am haven't posted a vid in forever, bc I'm weak, here's the squat.

[video=youtube;44XhnAQFgLY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44XhnAQFgLY[/video]
 
Thoughts guys? Other than that I'm weak.
 
I didn't see anything I would correct. If you're going for a true box squat, I'd say sit back more. But since it's high-bar, dropping onto it like you are is good.

When my knees are giving me troubled, heeled shoes always intensify if.

So why all the assistance type exercises first?

Agreed, thanks.

Pre-fatigue the quads so that competition lifts are baby weights to keep the joints happy. It sucks lol.

That session was a little more bouncing off the box than typical, but the work beforehand murdered my quads.

Something I found on Groupon. It can take a little time to learn how to properly place the pads where proper stimulation, but it's a great tool to have.

Ordered, thanks for the water pointer.
 
Been lifting, nothing notable, still getting leaner, holding at 188lbs.

CA USPA State Championships this week, some good competition, but very quiet and the atmosphere was a let down. Coaching for SJSU Powerlifting with good results.
