Good for aesthetics. Won't get you stronger than a standard pull up. Isn't as good as a chin up.Blu how do you feel about wide grip lat pull downs? I dont want them to replace anything but thought maybe id rotate them in to keep it fresh certain weeks
Here's some more advice. Don't think about it. Just squatIm almost 6 3 and fit that category haha. We'll see how 3/4 feels but im the most excited about just having a nice rock solid foundation
K, getting stronger is definitely my number one because I feel like aesthetics will come with that right? Maybe ill just do chin ups or pulls instead.Good for aesthetics. Won't get you stronger than a standard pull up. Isn't as good as a chin up.
Love when it's short and sweet haha will do!Here's some more advice. Don't think about it. Just squat
Remember our conversation about squat variations? Same applies to vertical pulls. If you can do a chin or pull-up, do those.I did some barbell bench and incline bench today also some shrugs. Hotel gym but better than many. Finished up with 30 minutes on the treadmill and an ab workout.

I'm doing bent over barbell rows for the first time in well over a year. It feels weird.
I was able to blast out a set of five above my body weight. I was happy with thatI love bent over rows. They really force me to keep my back tight and pull down and back (similar motion to taking the slack out of my deadlift).

Whats this supportive equipment you speak of? Like wraps or something?I squated last night. Went real light and used more supportive equipment than I normally would. I am sore today in my calf. Not worried, but dayum
I went with knee sleeves and then wraps over my sleeves.Whats this supportive equipment you speak of? Like wraps or something?
How are the sleeves? I always wondered what's starting point for using them. From skiing and such over the years my knees aren't bad but they aren't exactly mint either lol I just had a thought like "should I be using them to avoid any trouble down the road?". I probably dont lift heavy enough to worry about that yet I guess. Hopefully lol my mom has had a ton of surgeries on one of her knees and I dont want that.I went with knee sleeves and then wraps over my sleeves.
Tough to say. I have no issues with people wearing sleeves as a little support. They don't aid in the lift. They merely help hold the knee in place. If nothing else, it's mental.How are the sleeves?

I hear ya. I'm just all about avoiding injuries haha. For now ill just concentrate on my form, maybe look into them down the road.Tough to say.

The less than scientific answer is, if your knees start yelling, "I can't do this!" During a rep, get some sleeves.I hear ya. I'm just all about avoiding injuries haha. For now ill just concentrate on my form, maybe look into them down the road.
Once again I find myself wanting to get back in to shape...I have no idea what that shape is, but I'm not happy and I feel a certain loss of energy. So...with all work and family going on, I need to take small steps to achieve something. The food is a major player in getting into shape, and right now my family is looking at me like some weirdo as I'm eating different food than they are, and the amount of protein I'm stuffing every day is rather ridiculous, but I've done the same routine before, and I know it works. I lost 15 - 17 pounds while mountaineering in Peru for a month, but got every pound back binge drinking and partying at the 5 day wrap party...go figure
Winter is the time for me to get back in the game, since summer is mainly golf and bbq.
If they yell, I'll definitely listen hahaThe less than scientific answer is, if your knees start yelling, "I can't do this!" During a rep, get some sleeves.
