glute ham raises brah
I'd totally do this and with bands, but the closes things I have to this at my gym is the leg curl machine which I'm not really a fan of. I might have to settle for stiff leg deads and lunges maybe.
K I feel like I need to up my conditioning for squats. Anything over 200 lbs owns me even If I can do 3x5 just fine. Last set for 205 I was so exhausted I struggled reracking lol. Also took me like 15 mins rest to get done. Besides that I've been getting props on my squats so that always feels good.

Bring reusable bottles.
Snatch grip Romanian deads are awesome and nail your upper back real good as well.

Add weight (or decrease assistance) when you can do 15 for all sets.
Nice, when my hand gets better I'm so tackling this method. It's always the transition to the dip position that gets me (and mostly everyone else). This slight swing method might give me the edge that I need. I just one to get one muscle-up before I turn 40.
Depends how you feel. Part of the rehab for runners knee is to strengthen your quads. I found that the squat was too uncomfortable at first, but I was able to do leg presses and leg raises without discomfort so I went with those until my knee felt good enough to do squats.
That said, IANAD, and when my knee hurt I went to the doctor before doing serious exercise with my knee.

Sure. I love it too but I waved goodbye to it and switched to unsweetened almond milk. Far better nutritional makeup.
If you can make normal milk fit in your macros then you're fine. It's a good spot to eliminate though, if you're having issues hitting your macros.
Makes sense. I love Almond Milk too. I guess I will switch exclusively to that and see how it works/affects me for a few days.
Thanks.

If you check the label also, and really want to stick with milk, I recommend going all the way with the whole milk. The nonfat stuff still has all the negative shit in it that whole milk has and I like fats in my diet. But hey if you can dig almondo milku, then do it up. It isn't nearly as satisfying for me, so I just go without ;(

I don't have a proper machine/place to do them either. That's when it is time to ghetto rig them.

I work out twice a day. Mornings I run and afternoons I lift. I've never noticed any negative side effects. If you aren't feeling it thought skip the cardio though. Sometimes I will wake up and I am just out of it so I don't run or I lightly jog.
This is just M-F though. Sat & Sun I just lift.

Plenty of aaaair and plenty of room

plenty of heart and plenty of hope!
I'm from Oklahoma, don't mind me. Saw this ish probably 500 times as a kid.
Lifted yesterday. So freaking weak. Only got 315x1 on bench. Had 345 easy a few months ago but I guess that's what a cut will do followed by and injury and 3 weeks off. It'll be back soon.
The first thing I realized is I need to eat more. Still eating at cutting levels (2,500). So I upped it to 3k. That may not be enough to even regain my strength but I wanna take it slow. Not really planning on dat bulk until November.
Back day today or I'll do shoulders if I feel like my back is in pain. Taking it real easy coming back with my back and legs.

You'll get stronk before you know it brah. Take your time, but I know you know this! Looking forward to you humbling the shit out of us.

Thanks! Right now that is how my muscle ups look, bringing the knees up for the assist. So I can knock out about 8-10 in a single set as demonstrated in the video, but should I focus now on doing like 1-2 muscle ups with strict form (no knee bend) or try to work more reps instead?
Nothing wrong with that, I think it's good this way. If you're trying to train like strength athlete, resistance training comes first and endurance shit later. One doesn't have to come directly after the other. In fact some would argue that knowing you have to go for a run immediately after a workout would make you hold back during your lifting session so it may not be as efficient.
Thanks brother.
It's nice to hear that you're back in action.

I do the opposite and don't notice one affecting the other. I'm not moving the same amount of weight that most people here do though.

Fuck me, I think I have strep. Going to the doc in about an hour and the day before I was gonna deadlift too.
Had it a couple of months ago, it was horrible. The antibiotics cleared it up in a couple of days.

In the room waiting right now. It just started so I might have caught it quick enough.

a guy who owns a gym slaps the shit out of his subordinate for selling gear. He slaps him not because of morals, but because he wasn't cutting him in on profit. Ends the conversation by offering tea. Damn.
Also, one of the guys that got slapped about apparently fell out a 3 story window shortly after this video.

haha, if I were at your level, I'd be addicted to mirrors and would give my piano lessons shirtless and pretend I am at the beach at all times.
I can just imagine the faces of my students' parents. I'd tell them " you mad? I can teach you kids the squat and the deadlift for a couple more bucks"
hahaha XD
legs days are amazing, I LOVE the feeling after Squat/leg extension, I have to hold myself on to something while I go down the stairs.

Nope.
It's just the virus that looks and acts like strep. He said I'm gonna feel like shit the next 10 days but I'm good to go for training and going to work.

Good Mornings hit hamstrings nicely & have great carry over to deads & even squats.

Good day at the gym, I was able to rep 285lb on bench, which is pretty cool since i'm some 15lbs lighter than i was last time I attempted the lift.
There was even a young guy doing SS - which always stuns me.
Screwed up rows a bit today, thought my weights were at 60 kg, but I remembered it wrong -- it was 60 kg plates and 80 kg with the bar. Ended up doing two sets with 70 kg and last one with 80 kg. Atleast the lower weights allowed me to get a nice flex at the top.
Passed 45 kg (100 lbs) OHP and gave the rear delt destroyers a try, definitely liked those. Another great workout and the sauna afterwards was godly.

How much flexibility is there for workout scheduling within a 5/3/1 cycle?
For example, if for Week 1 I workout M/Tu/Th/F, but the next week I can't get to the gym on Tuesday for some reason, can I shift it to Su/M/W/Th for Week 2? I would guess that's OK, because it's still been 6 days since the last workout of that type, and everything in general is spaced out well. I ask because I imagine this will happen to me a lot, given that I often randomly go out of town on weekends to see friends, etc.

I think people need to take a good long watch/listen to this. I'm tired of people acting like they aren't on shit and idolizing those who are on shit acting like they aren't on shit. You can't do the shit they do and you won't get the results they get unless you get on gear too.
This video says everything I've been thinking about this recent CT Fletcher bullshit going on. I've gone from liking the man to absolutely despising him over the last few months.
Also I always "knew" that "veiny" look was a tell tale sign of gear (legal or otherwise), it's good to hear this guy say the same thing.
