So Devil, is the reason you only use wraps for your heavier sets is because you don't want them to overcompensate for stabilizers too much?

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

No. I use wraps on my heavier sets because I tend to rest longer so my knees tend to get cold/stiff....so the wraps keep my knees warm/flexible. The ace bandages i got at a local drugstore hardly add anything to the squat even when wrapped tight(which i dont even really do most of the time)....they also tend to lose their elasticity quite fast.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

you POS, i can't believe you did 100 pullups.....wtf....sigh..


*bows down*

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

Thanks Zero.

I am trying to build up my volume and then progress to doing higher rep sets. Though I will see about using some weighted pull ups here and there...

Was more happy about my front squat PR. Felt great today despite CNS still not full recovered from monday workout.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

I didn't see a FS PR

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

I dont really mark them...i recently am progressing pretty well on FS. Before few weeks ago i couldnt hit 275 ...now i got to 300....i am pretty happy with it....will hopefully hit 315 soon.

Nice workout DEVILsSON

BTW the "-300mg caffeine+500mg enteric aspirin+500mg magnesium+25mg ephedrine hcl+b-complex"

You ever get worried about any long term side effects (if there are any) of this? Other than just becoming dependent on this combo for every workout.

 

[Zerocrew1984]

nice vids....oh wait....:/

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

the only thing in that stack worth any concern is the caffeine and l-ephedrine. I am using a fairly low caffeine amount and very standard ephedrine amount. Feel fine every time. I lift only 1-2 times a week. I dont always include ephedrine in the stack. Caffeine is not inherently dangerous. equivalent to a couple cups of strong coffee.

Zero there was a gym employee there the whole time and video taping is against the rules. Also not the greatest of days. I should have skipped bball.

[Mickey's]

Devil, I was doing deads but couldn't keep my upper and middle back locked. The weight moved wasn't superhard for my lowerbody but should I lessen the weight and wait till the rest of my back can handle the weight?


Edit* nice Front squat PR
