Sean's Powerlifting Journey

I can see you fixed depth by about 3-4 inches lol. I figured out a test retest that is impressive last night. Banded wall squats never improved depth much for me these past couple weeks, but I do the internal rotation wall movement in SL and then banded wall squat my test retest is about 3 inches deeper I estimate.


Mad jelly of your squats Sean. Looks great and big weights.
 
Thanks man. The wall squats don't do much anymore. I've been driving onto my knee to push my femur further back, with the average band pulling slightly lateral

Good call as well as I find some "ugliness" doing that too. Internal rotation seems to be key for PL's to mobilize. Or maybe everyone, I dunno.
 
I noticed when you come up your knees start to track in a touch. I only notice because mine have been doing the same thing since I busted my ankle about a month ago. Do you think it's a big issue for you? I feel like I'm squatting weaker than usual because of it.

I think knees can/should track in just a smidge. Quad activation. There's a good article by Dan Green on knees coming in a touch for that reason. As long as your femur is still externally rotated and you aren't "caving" in your knees (per Donnie Thompson)

If you're knees are caving, then you're loosing that external rotation, and it'll definetly be a weaker squat.

I think mine is a touch less noticeable when I'm wearing knee wraps with heavy squats
 
Thnx guys. I'm assuming it's something I've always done, just noticing more since I hurt my ankle. (Did it walking my dog, like a chump. I think he laughed at me!)
 
Awesome squatting, all that mobility work you do has really cleaned things up.

I need to stop being lazy. Let me just return back to my Lil Caesar's Hot n Ready now.

I was totally supporting the wages of all the workers at my local Dominos a few weeks/months ago.

Well I was doing it for the chicken carbonara pizza, cinnastix, and 2-liter.
 
I want dominos. Unfortunately the girlfriend mentioned i was getting a bit soft in the midsection, so now I can only eat it while she's at work.

Sounds terrible, dude. Normally the deep dish not only tastes better but allows for more cheese, sauce, and condiments.

Moved back to an old home. This place is looking pretty good again. Already noticed that GF is here too. Pretty cool. I didn't have your contact info, so now we can keep up with each other. Maybe I will start a log here, for the first time. Though no more nekids, lol.

Really stoked you guys are here, and I found you, even if my affections are unrequited, lol.

LOL. I am just a scrawny guy with a rather large vocabulary. Don't credit me with anything more.

I've never run a log here, but years back I used to post a fair amount in the HRT section. But since then, I've gotten back into training again (speaking of which, I should post a new pic as that one is 5 years old, when I was chunkier, lol), but old man training, post more ortho surgeries than you can imagine, so it's about lighter weight, high reps to look my sexiest. I cant hang with likes of Sean et al in terms of lifting. He's the man!

I promise to titillate, if nothing more. Good to be here among your ranks, and a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Man, I need some rep power if ya'll expect me to lift with you, lol.

Fair enough. I've only had 16 surgeries in 5 years, 6 last year. No ****. I have a connective tissue disorder. I will explain when I start my log.

But don't entirely write me off, I have decent strength for my scrawny size, though I can't deadlift anymore because of the wonky tendons. Nor can I squat heavy. So yeah, my log will look remarkably different than your mighty logs.

Anyhow, enough about me, as this is Sean's log. Humbled to be here among ya'll, particularly Sean and Torobestia.
 
Worship the Gods of mere mortals, sean and toro!

There's more than one way to skin a cat bro. Everybody trains differently.

Thanks bro. Not that new, 43, and I was posting here back in 2008. I moved to MnM, and then an offshoot private forum for 1.5 years. Hope to make this home again. Thanks for the welcoming, my man. Hope to add something, however small and shriveled it may be.

LOL, that was my alias on another board, where I was with Toro and Sean. It was supposed to be Way Hung, but spellcheck messed it up. ;)

But don't get me wrong, I would butt rape the hell out of Sean, ATG. ;)

Thanks bud. If this little gang is anything like the overall gang that loiters here, I suspect I am going to fit right in, and we'll be friends. Looking forward to contributing, beyond butt-hurt humor.

My wife is Japanese...any time she makes me a sandwich I tell her "thanks for the sushi".....then I continue to not get laid.
