the only reason it always strikes a chord with me is cause my first set my ex bought me were 5mm rocktape brand. I blew a hole through them doing burpees back when I was competing and I would routinely have to pull them up from my ankles. While it was a sweet gesture on her part and opened up a whole new world of happy knees for me, my 7mm rehbands have lasted a decade so thats like whatever, $7/year so far or something. they never slide down, no holes in them. good stuff.
Usually once every year or so I have needed to. But they don’t seem to break down any from washing; just throw them in the wash solo then air dry.All the IPF meets you do
dudes a sleeper with the lower body, he probably should compete in a squat only eventAll the IPF meets you do
Well IPF doesn’t have squat only, but the joke was you have to pass a doping metabolite test.
Yeah, I don't know that that was the primary selling point (just price, really), but just figured it'd be nice to have them for a meet if I ever did one lol.
Was always my best lift back when I competed. Would always end up in the later flights with the guys in heavier weight classes at the start of the meet based on my squat opener, and then would immediately come back to Earth and put up a paltry little bench and deadlift lol.
I think there is something in my proportions which I have never bothered to analyze/measure that makes me a better puller, maybe even pusher, then squatter. I have generally always been able to pull and press more than my peers who outsquat me by far. Hyde of course is a bad example, due routinely pulls 100lbs heavier than me. but most of my gymbros who walk around with a 400-500lb squat cannot deadlift or clean anywhere near me and most can't bench or OHP as much. My squats are improving, but its by far my worst lift.
Nice full workout….yeah lunges will put it on you. I agree with you on those recline hanging biceps curls being one of the better types of curls. That’s how I like to do my DB incline curls. I let them hang with full extension and do a slow controlled curl all the way to the top and squeeze. It really works the biceps and it’s the biggest ROM of any curl.
While I do love those, I meant hanging from a barbell in the j-hooks feet out in front curling my body weight up to the bar where the top ends up being about 45 degrees and the bottom about 25-30 degrees. The weight is automatically heaviest at the biggest stretch and you can really feel it. I do love the super stretched incline DB curls as well but this one hits different.Nice full workout….yeah lunges will put it on you.

Ahh, ok I see what you’re talking about. Sounds like another good one.
Yeah, I think the stretch is just from a different angle it is elongating the distal head of the biceps but not hyper extending it over the elbow joint at all if that makes sense. It just feels like it is really doing something good in contracting out of that type of stretch. Not really sure how to explain it, but a pleasantly humbling surprise. It just felt good especially on the distal part of my right biceps that can get a little snippy from old microtears / trauma I had when it almost tore there years ago.Ahh, ok I see what you’re talking about.

Says we have 1.8” rain coming tomorrow and on flood watch tomorrow morning, with tornado watch in the afternoon here
You will be out there with a sickle blade or sling blade what ever they called those things
No doubt, and also.... "I don't reckon I got no reason to kill nobody.... MmmmmmHmmmmmm!"You will be out there with a sickle blade or sling blade what ever they called those things
yes, I would think so!
Haha, right!
Yeah, my only concern is that me feeling like I am stepping into a hole only happens occasionally when my hips are tight. I am not 100% convinced my leg is shorter so much as I might be pulled out of alignment via muscle tightness. I mean we didn't do any measuring on my leg, he just saw my hip was higher. I don't know if they have to measure the leg to verify that, but I know we didn't.
So I am also going to work toward correcting it just in case it is getting hiked up by muscle tightness / disorder, but during that process I will just keep using the lifts. Either way, I think it is good another issue will be getting addressed.
Yes for sure, they are in the business of claim avoidance. I need to build that trail to justify it, but I would imagine the fact we already know it is torn might help with that since I have an old MRI showing the tear and it has likely got worse.
You're a more chill man than me lol. I see that kinda stuff at the ghetto gym all the time and I'm not quiet about it. Coincidentally I have had 4 co-workers **** their pants for for some reason, I am always the confidant they choose to tell. Its always "hey, um... so I shitmyself, I need to run home" NEVER TRUST A FART!
always reminds me of the poker saying "maximize the upswings, minimize the downswings". I think you're doing the right thing here. You're no rookie. staying active and training what you can when you can while you work on full rehab is a great move imo.
that thing is going to be HOT!
