I had a medium-heavy legs workout. I started out with a 1 mile jog instead of 2 or 3 miles. Squats only.
135 lbs. x 10 reps
155 lbs. x 10 reps
175 lbs. x 10 reps
195 lbs. x 10 reps
215 lbs. x 10 reps
225 lbs. x 10 reps
245 lbs. x 5 reps
265 lbs. x 3 reps

How do we feel about knee sleeves brehs :lupe:

I can squat 315 all day with sleeves... but one day I front squatted with 135 w/o my straps and my left knee was singing :damn:

I get good depth and everything... when I use wraps, no problems. And when I bike, no sleeves obviously, no problems

I just dont want to need one of them Patrick Ewing USB Wifi knee replacements :lupe:

Can't see why you wouldn't.

Knee sleeves are okay if there's a patella cut out. The reason for that is you don't want the back of your patella scrapping against the leg bone. This is why I do not recommend knee wraps, the heavy-duty elastic bands that power-lifters wrap around their knees before a big squat.
I kind of think the use of knee sleeves is mental. I used to wear them all the time. I'm older now and never use them.

Wear belts Brehs.....

I'm probably one of the more stronger cats here, who has essentially been power lifting for the past 4/5 years, injury / pain free, fukk belts, go raw, if you use bad technique that's on you....

No excuses, no apologies...

Yea. I don't even own a belt, won't buy one unless I'm at a point that it became a need.

I won't argue with anyone who uses one because I don't believe in catch all thinking with this weightlifting shyt but for my own mental psyche I never adopted the idea of using a belt because if my form is fukked or I'm doing things I'm not supposed to be doing that belt is just gonna hold me in place for the ride to snap city anyway

I want to be strong in the event I had to apply that strength in a real life situation without having to have everything be ideal for my confidence such as having on a belt and wearing my Nike Romaleos or my chucks etc. it's all good



Got pulled over on the way to the gym, I didn't see the cop when I blew by him coming over the hill so he came out nowhere. .. I was sipping on my pre workout and spilled on my shirt on accident. So I got on a white t-shirt doused in black Cherry Speed Stack.

Cop walks up and I already have the window rolled down, insurance and license in hand, I'm glaring at him like :leostare:

He looks at the shirt, looks at me, looks at the speed stack in my lap like :dwillhuh: doesn't even take my insurance or anything and goes

"Uh, fix your tail light sir" scurries back to his car busts a U turn and peels off

:angry: I had to stop at old navy and buy a black tank top to lift in after.


he did have me dead to rights for a speeding ticket if he'd felt like it tho :pachaha:
