So either more paused work if you just need to generate more chest power from a dead stop, or Spotos if you need to also reinforce lat control & positioning with the paused start as well. OR... -
for me its definitely the 2nd half of the lift is the strongest. when I am at top end weight what I do for the bottom 10% of the lift fully dictates whether I will have success or not, even if the...

If your bench is fairly slow, some speed work can for a month on secondary day can help you regain the speed necessary to make it through the transition. Otherwise something like Spoto’s or Pin...

Technique matters! I have done meets where I did nothing heavy until the peak, nothing. If you can execute the proper way and have experience you don’t need to train that heavy until the very end...

9/2 Man my legs are cooked between squats 2 days ago and the running yesterday. The running took more out than the squats as all the little muscles are sore and hurting. Fascia throughout my low... -

Correct. Just like Dustin said, it’s wraps that you would not want to wear for prolonged periods without time out of them. Wraps pin everything in an unnatural way. Not that they would be unsafe...

I do believe that full depth squats are about the best thing you can do for overall health (among strength training), that ROM is important for so many parts of your body IMO. if knee sleeves help...

I've been wearing sleeves for like 12 years and at 44 (next month) I'm the strongest I've ever been by a wide margin. if you are in pain that is preventing ROM and knee sleeves improve your ROM...

So you don’t think I’m losing any training of the stabilizers by wearing sleeves (same concept as not wearing a belt on lighter lifts) ? That has been the reason I’ve held off on them thus far.

Same. I have been doing a lot of my squats the last month or so with no sleeves until after 275. Because I was adding orals & injectable carnitine on top of my caffeine and Neurogize AND it was...

I mean look if it’s 2 plates or whatever and it’s warm months in the gym/where you train then I get it. Especially if the person has less than a decade of lifting. But seriously, at any weight and...

I've been seeing rando fitness 'influencers' in their 50s and beyond occasionally squatting bare kneed and everytime I'm like... how. how are you doing this. lol

If you’re squatting over 30 without knee sleeves, you’re a madman 😭 They keep more blood and warmth in the area through the session, which in addition to aiding comfort & passive joint stability...

No I’m not. I may need to, or at least get some type of minimalist brace that keeps the patella in good alignment. I honestly think it’s more just patellar tendonitis that my OA as while that can...
