Becoming Unstoppable

[Cody]

Ah, I know these feels all too well. I'm usually in the basement gym around midnight due to work and then if the kids wake up during my sesh... squat shoes weren't meant for running stairs lol.

Lol!! Yeah, I know you can definitely relate to schedule garbage. But hey, we work with the hand we're dealt.

Everything felt strong today. Taking low doses of nsaids. Leg drive was fine, but even 325 on the leg press was starting to make my knee angry. Be patient, Cody.

have you tried different foot positions on the leg press? what have you settled on?

Yeah, I tried all kinds of stuff. The most knee-friendly position is feet about shoulder width, roughly 15° out, and at the top of the plate. I find you have to push with mid-foot or heel, pressing with the ball is a no-no. There's a thread in the training forum about the leg press where I linked some of my videos where you can see foot position clearly.

I feel you, man. Hurt my back, started light squatting with lots of reps, switched to FS because it didn't hurt my back, and now my right knee (left knee has hurt in the past) is all jacked up. I might end up just doing prowler walks and farmers carries for my "lower body" work, at this rate.

I've come to terms with the very real possibility I just deadlift and bench, and do leg presses when my old man joints are being agreeable. Goal is to join the 1200 lb club with just deadlift and bench.




Did a quick 5s x 8r chins today.

Oh, I love squats when they don't hurt, lol! And my goal is lofty... It will take years if I even make it. By then you'll have a 1500+ total.

Pin bench: 225x6, 225x6, 225x6

Trying to apply a small amount of stress to the patellar tendon. Low doses of ibuprofen have helped. Sweet biceps pump.
