How ya like those Norse knee sleeves? I need a new set and titan yellow jackets have been out of stock because…. Covid????
I like 'em, though honestly I have nothing to compare them to as they're my first pair! Ha ha.
Unless you are trying to add maximum poundage to your overhead lifts, get the neoprene sleeves. They’re much better to keep on through training and provide passive support & warmth. Multiply sleeves can’t usually be left on too long and should be thought of more like mild knee wraps for a lift.
Thanks for checking it out. I'm going to make a conscious effort to work on depth now! Out comes the box.You’re probably about 4” high to get a good lift in most powerlifting feds.
Squat moved pretty snappy and it was a nice gym lift man.
Also, squeeze your glutes hard as you can before you begin the descent - this will pull your hips forward to lock you out into a better position under the bar before you descend, as well as further activate the strongest muscle in your body so it’s maximally engaged from start to finish.
Also also, nice beard

If you want to do a powerlifting meet your only option is a 4” belt, but 10mm will be easier to get down with than 13mm if your current is a 13. I wear my 10mm 4” belt an inch or two higher in the front on deadlift compared to squats. If you don’t care about powerlifting meets, the Cerberus deadlift belt is kinda perfect. Spud makes some great ones too. Gives that tension to brace against without getting in the way.

Lats sound worth trying and easy access.
Hangs from pull-up bar, body tempering, massage gun, stretching.
I'll look around and try to grab some.
I really need to invest in a massage gun. I just did some stretching, floss band and rolling with a hard ball.
Awesome man! Welcome!
I'm gonna start searching, I could use a pounding!A massage gun is a great tool. We have a Worx brand Jigsaw tool that we chuck some massage tools we bought on Amazon into. It’s very strong, much stronger than a lot of these pussy vibrator guns, but that’s the kind of force you need to loosen up a big pair of tight hamstrings, or break up knots from something like DHB injections or real tissue adhesions in the traps, under scapula, on the IT bands.
Get something that really pounds your meat
For what it’s worth, I honestly don’t use an AI unless I feel there are more signs of systemic, high estrogen (pissed off gyno plus ED or others). If I’m just dealing with gyno being seemingly harder and swollen compared to normal, I hit Ralox. I personally prefer estrogen to be a little higher on blasts. But, my body doesn’t aromatize much anyway. Tamoxifen might help, but ralox really seems to be the superior route for gyno control.
I still never picked up any Raloxifene. Was caught up trying to find tabs as I'm not a big fan of oral liquid. Might just bite the bullet and grab some from MA though. I'm gonna try out the Tamoxifen now and probably pick up some ralox to keep around and use if the Tamox doesn't do the trick.
Ya I don’t really like oral liquid either lol. Ralox isn’t the best tasting, but I mix it in my nightly fiber drink which helps. I’ll vouch for MA ralox too, works like a charm for me.
Popped a 20mg last night.
) I've read plenty about on cycle AI use but not nearly as much about on cycle SERM use.
People don’t really talk about it that much, but I’ve figured out it’s actually extremely common for many guys to be using SERMs most of their blasts. Many guys can’t take much before they eventually get some gyno, and that gyno in turn is easier to grow than new tissue is to generate. So it’s very common for many guys on many stacks to need some Ralox or Nolva to manage things, because the amount of AI they would need would be uncomfortable and ultimately worse for their lipids (read: heart health), joints, brain, strength, & sexual function.Popped a 20mg last night.
Thanks for the info, that makes sense. I haven't had to deal with this issue before so it's interesting to learn the correct situations for each response. My inclination was to use the SERM as the gyno, and there for the activity at the estrogen receptors, is the only issue presently at hand.
If I can manage to continually abate the gyno issue by intermittent dosing of a SERM, is it therefore safe to assume there is no need for an AI? This is of course also assuming there are no other symptoms of consequence. (ED is not even sort of an issue!
It is kind of odd that people don’t really discuss SERM use while blasting. I think it’s a remnant of a previous age in bodybuilding where you list the compounds you’re using and god forbid you don’t say you have an AI on deck (you definitely should, but that’s not what I’m getting at). So, it just becomes an assumption by others that people who have been doing this a while are only using an AI as opposed to a SERM; especially those who B&C. When, in fact, they probably aren’t even using an AI as much as other people think, if they use one at all. So, SERM discussion kind of falls out of the picture unless you’re talking about a dude who’s cycling and will need to use one in PCT. To be honest, I’ve only used an AI a few times, and it probably wasn’t necessary. I find that a moderate dose of Ralox (50mg daily) is enough to let that tissue, um, become “soft” again (I suppose that’s kind of what’s happening). That’s, of course, just my experience and what works for me, but I agree it’s likely better to employ the use of a SERM as opposed to an AI, especially when gyno is the issue.
This is great info guys! It's interesting that the inclusion of a SERM in a blast isn't more discussed as it makes sense as the appropriate adjunct for someone dealing with what seems to be the most discussed side effect.
Lol. Yeah I can relate. Those rocks aren’t as spongey as they may appear at that given time
For real, I was super bummed last night.
That's what my thinking has been, that it's a grip or mobility or bar placement issue of some kind or combination.
