It’s just one knee and not the joints. I don’t think my estrogen is low (haven’t checked recently) because my libido is great. I am right now on 400 test and 200 mast per week.
Today was legs. Boy, my knees are not good. I went light today with all my exercises. About 70-80% of my last week's working set load and reps. The pain is right in the center of my knee cap. I used my knee sleeves, but, really didn't help with the pain.
Did front squats today for a change and...
Squats is unlike any other exercise, right. The weight could definitely burry you and we all know it. But the feeling of squatting heavy like 2.5-3x your body weight is just powerful. More like a sense of accomplishment that I am sure we don’t get even while deadlifting.
I didn't know that. But, bigger joints=bigger muscles. no? I look at people lifting 500lbs squats I go like.. damn I wish I could..
Thanks for the compliment.. :)
Push Day today.
Oh, I want to thank @Hyde for asking me to hit shoulders first and then chest and triceps at last. This was a really solid session for me. Lifts were much better in terms of pump and overall execution.
So, this is how my training is scheduled from this week onwards
1) Pull-...
I used to use knee sleeves for my squats for a long time. But, I stopped this year and my knees have got stronger without them. But, there is definitely a point where you have to incorporate knee sleeves and I believe I have reached that point.
I have an Iron Rebel one. Pretty good one I think.
Understood. I absolutely never used belts or sleeves throughout the training session even in the past. First of all I think that looks stupid and second I wanted my core to be stronger and not depend on belts.
Absolutely. I agree. Have been pretty comfortable without knee sleeves or belt till now. But, last week I started pushing weights a bit more and realized I need to be safer.
I’d like to try lifting with sleeves and belt to see if it hurts or not. Is that okay?
Ok. I am in
Btw, how is Insuligen? I didn't see a lot of reviews about it here or anywhere else. When it launched it was quite the hype here, but fizzled out very quickly too.
Last week my leg day kinda screwed me up. Increased the weight on all exercises and performed pretty well. But, after 5 days my knee still hurts a bit. Have to start using knee sleeves and belts now. My joints/tendons are not getting stronger.
Compared to last week all lifts are going up...
