So whats everyone using for joint health been getting some cracking from my right knee

Currently taking fish oil and was taking OT with greens but due to financial difficulties I needed to go cheaper

I take nothing. But if i needed something id go with glucosamine/chondroitin for overuse and turmeric for inflammation. Vit shoppe is having a bogo on their brand. They have both and cissus too.
 
Thanks Boss it take time the intimidation factor is fading so that will help

So this is my Pre workout breakfast

1egg, 3whites with kale, spinach and salsa
Serving of almonds
1 pouch oatmeal with 60 Cal applesauce mixed in
Cup of coffee

Wondering if that sounds like enough carbs or not just want to dail my setup in a bit better

Depends on your total carbs intake and how you plan to spread the rest out and how many were in that meal.
 
Pouch of oatmeal? Is that the flavored stuff?

OHP
The 175 was very smooth but I got it just wasn't in a good position to start with. 150's started off slow then I realized I wasn't doing it the way I had been so I switched then they started moving had good pop off the lats

Wide grip
was ok they moved fast but I could feel it in my shoulder good thing I started light

Bicep pain has almost completely gone away very happy about that

That's it thanks for reading book
Dmax :-)

I haven't tried this yet.

Nice pressing man. Jealous that you have alleviated the bicep pain. I can't wait to get there. I will mimic your warmups tomorrow just to see.
 
I've read direct forearm work can contribute to the development of carpel tunnel syndrome. So, I avoid it. But idk I may give it a try
 
Duramaxhd said:
Honestly I think the forarm work is what is helping the most. It's been getting better each week

The one thing I've not really added..

I guess there's no reason why I can't superset those with pretty much anything.

I don't go heavy at all just 12-15 rep range.

I can't imagine it could be any worse then a heavy deadlift or bench press

That said, there's BB'ers who've been doing this ish for 20+ years and they're fine. So idk.
 
Interesting video swim thanks for posting it whether I buy it or not idk either I guess I'll be one of those people that takes my chances lol

Dmax

PS. I'm dead
 
365x14??? Forget that contest...

Any reason you haven't been in the mono for a few weeks? Just curious.

Great work, as always.
 
Jayson and the rest of the crew are using a ssb bar. So me and one other guys (who is in meet prep that has to walk his weights out) are off on our own thing . Basically have a plan and want to see it through to the end even if it means I have to walk out 550+lbs
 
Dude you should be mackin on that SSB.
 
So I just look at myself in the mirror good for the first time since the gym and I look like I've be puking all morning lol
 
That is one grueling looking session there DMax. You have become a man, for like the 9th time in this log.
 
Well that was a **** ton of volume on the two hardest lifts, after working up to a decent percent of the 1RM. That's brutal dude.

Strong squats yesterday D. Damn....
 
Awesome
 
Anyone got any good links to articles about body composition my brother in law is starting a diet/work out routine I want him to understand the importance
 
Quick life story he tore his shoulder to hell about a year or more ago and since then he's gained quite a bit of weight he's now 400lbs his physical therapist told 1-2 sets on everything and cardio before and after. I told him to up the sets and reps. His therapist told him he's out to lose weight not build muscle. I just want him to understand stand that having a little more muscle will help achieve and maintain his goal. If that makes sense
 
Makes perfect sense. And I agree, resistance training should take precedence as far as training goes. But what he needs most is a caloric deficit.

Building muscle is going to not only improve his health, but have a far greater impact on things like quality of life and body composition.

Wish I had an article off hand, but I'm stumped.
 
He has started a solid eating plan (not going to call it a diet since it shouldn't be) from what he has told me, he lives in Texas so I can't observe what he's doing directly. He has lost 20lbs so far thou in a little over a month
