Nice deathlifts.

It will help you heal bud, works on a cellular level as I understand DMSO. It can also be used with other pain killing gels. I am pretty sure Eric has said in the past that he used it along with icy hot?

alright. Thanks for the info

Felt weak, but was suprisingly confident in getting the squat reps.
Front squats sucked as always.

Even the 90kg warm up reps felt heavy on the bench. Every working set was like a RPE of 10(-11)! Kinda suprised I didnt fail. Lets see what happens in the coming weeks, would be nice to get through this program. (8 workouts left)

Been doing that myself. I'm actually consistently over 90 now, feels good brah. I suggest peanut butter.

 

[CRZA]

Already got it. Banana + peanut butter is surprisingly good! Try it. Either on bread or just put aome pb on that banana.
Im around 84 now I think.

 

[kotriz]

damn, once upon a time i was around that weight too lol and i thought to myself 'i cant gain weight dammit!'

not the case anymore

waiting for the final mm2k review as i have never tried it

Ive done it before. Gained 7.5 both times.
And compared to smolov jr the gains stays with you and dont diminish

I think 85-90 is a good weight for my height. If I can get there in a few years and loose some fat, I would be happy.

I don't like deadlifting either, but I do it because it makes me stronger. Vulcan singles = will cause you to work on your set, if you are doing high rep closes there is not enough resistance for you to work on your set under higher resistance.

Yo broham.

My friend encouraged me to work on my psoas to relieve my hip pain and it appears to be helping. Could be b/s but it certainly hasn't worsened and I'm still squatting.

I'm on the phone so I can't link you. If you go to the mobility wod/project website and search "biker hips flossing" in the upper right corner the vid should come up. Never thought Id be riding for Kstar but it's important to stay open minded.

Your probably right.

Thanks for suggestion. I dont own a band, nor a kettlebell, so its going to be quite tough to do it. I also think the issue im having is deeper than tight psoas muscles and I think I need professional long term help to fix it unfortunately.

Thanks for caring, though.

Edit: how long did you do it before noticing effects?
