So are you squatting heavy every day or what? If I remember right you hit 365 earlier, but sets at 335+ for three days straight is no joke.

My low bar squat is around 390, high bar max is 355. I'm not really trying to break PRs right now, just sort of getting used to the frequency, learning how to gauge volume/intensity on a workout-by-workout basis, etc. e: I forgot to actually answer your question, hah. Yeah, squatting up to a training max every day, and then possibly working up to twice a day a few times a week. Still not sure about benching/pressing though, my shoulders definitely don't recover as well as my legs do. Just saw this in your log:  welp. gotta double my reps Boogan fucked around with this message at Jun 1, 2012 around 21:01 |

Squatted yesterday, about to squat today. I'll log it in a bit. I just wanted to note the most hosed-up thing. Since daily squatting, all the niggling pains in my knees? Gone. The weird popping in my hip? Gone. The unexplained ankle soreness/stiffness? Gone.

Yesterday's workout: Barbell Squat: - 45 lb x 4 reps - 135 lb x 2 reps - 225 lb x 2 reps - 275 lb x 1 reps - 315 lb x 1 reps - 335 lb x 1 reps - 355 lb x 1 reps - 335 lb x 1 reps - 275 lb x 2 reps - 275 lb x 2 reps Bent Over Barbell Row: - 135 lb x 8 reps - 185 lb x 5 reps - 205 lb x 5 reps - 205 lb x 5 reps - 205 lb x 5 reps fito2sa Today's workout: Barbell Squat: - 45 lb x 4 reps - 135 lb x 2 reps - 185 lb x 2 reps - 185 lb x 2 reps - 225 lb x 2 reps - 275 lb x 1 reps - 315 lb x 1 reps - 275 lb x 2 reps - 225 lb x 2 reps - 225 lb x 2 reps - today it occurred to me that if my training max is lower, my back-off sets should be lower too. Parallel-Grip Pull-Up: - 5 reps - 17 reps - 11 reps - 9 reps - 8 reps - 15 reps - ssw bench Barbell Bench Press: - 45 lb x 4 reps - 115 lb x 2 reps - 135 lb x 2 reps - 185 lb x 2 reps - 205 lb x 2 reps - 225 lb x 1 reps fito2sa Still getting the hang of the idea of a "training max" rather than an absolute max. Both workouts cut short, first one from pain, second one from time constraints. Seems like my legs only start to really hurt when my reps start slowing down. I'm thinking I might just not go above 315 until I get used to the volume/frequency and focus only on explosiveness/technique.or) Boogan fucked around with this message at Jun 2, 2012 around 23:30 |

Squat: blah blah blah 315x1 295x1 275x1 225x2 225x2 225x2 was gonna do pullups/push press but THE PAAAIIIN.... so I just went home. Just gotta keep telling myself this is all part of the transformation from weekly squatting to daily squatting and eventually I'll adapt and this will become the norm. My goal is to move a combined 4000lbs every workout. Today was 3600 but I just didn't have two more backoff sets in me.

Used chalk and mixed grip on last 3 sets, grip was not at all a factor. Actually my low back was rounding so I just dropped it. fito2sa food: b+n 500 9 eggs 540 3 pork kebabs 300 2 steak kebabs 200 5 chicken kebabs 500 4 shrimp dumplings 300 about a cup (?) of assorted squid parts 200 a cupcake 0 doesn't count 1/2 deluxe pizza 700 milk 400 total: ~3600... ugh fml like 2000 calories short

gently caress squat blah 315x1 315x1 bleh bench blah 225x2 245xF row: 185x5x3 one rep at 135 and one rep at 315 were fast on squats. everything else was slow as poo poo flowing uphill. almost passed out on my backoff sets too, vision started going white. to console myself, i did a bunch of arms bullshit at the end. maybe i should just give up on compound lifts and only ever do arms...

Updated the OP a bit with some information about my current training madness. Yesterday's food: b/n 500 9 eggs 630 4 burritos 960 1 pizza 1440 5 glasses milk 1000 total: 4530 Now that's more like it. Still about 1k short of my ideal target but meh. Learning experience. I tried to see if I could eat enough just going by how satiated I felt, but I just don't eat right unless I straight up have a full menu prepared in advance. I'm pretty bad at this. Barbell Squat: - 45 lb x 2 reps - 135 lb x 2 reps - 185 lb x 2 reps - 225 lb x 2 reps - 275 lb x 1 reps - 315 lb x 1 reps - 335 lb x 1 reps - 295 lb x 1 reps - 275 lb x 1 reps - 285 lb x 1 reps - 295 lb x 1 reps - 315 lb x 1 reps - 335 lb x 1 reps - yeah baby. feelin' a lot better today. Parallel-Grip Pull-Up: - 20 reps - 12 reps - 10 reps - 7 reps - 7 reps - 8 reps - 7 reps - 12 reps - Didn't get a total rep PR but this was with relatively little rest for the first few sets and also I finally hit 20 so DONT CARE DONT CARE WOO HOO Rack Deadlift: - 135 lb x 2 reps - 225 lb x 2 reps - 315 lb x 1 reps - 365 lb x 1 reps - 315 lb x 2 reps - 315 lb x 2 reps - 315 lb x 2 reps fito2sa I've been waiting for this for so long. My legs hurt less today than they have before. There's light at the end of the tunnel. I would have done some more backoff sets with squats and a LOT more sets of rack deadlifts but people were constantly hounding me for the power cage so whatever.

Holy poo poo...this is MADNESS. Upping squat volume for me caused a little knee pain, but that's awesome if it's fixed yours. Hope this works for you, jealous.

Well, I wouldn't say it fixed it, per se... The medial, lateral, and anterior knee pain I was experiencing (and appear to have been cured of) was due to ~muscle imbalances~ or whateverthefuck. Don't get me wrong. My knees still hurt. Like a motherfucker. But it's a different kind of pain. My quadriceps tendon is inflamed and hurts to the touch, but it doesn't bother me except when I fully flex my knee. That's located above the patella, so it's not really an injurious kind of pain. It's just an overuse issue that will go away as I get used to the volume. The other kind of pain is what I've read described as having your legs beaten by an iron bar - although I described mine as with a baseball bat. That's all up in my upper quad area and, again, it's just my muscles not being used to the volume. This is the one that really affects my workouts because it makes it tough to squat explosively, and the slower the rep the greater the pain. To balance out all these words, here's a video of me doing squats today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4CdJpJ8WHA I think I'm sitting back a lot better than I was in my previous 315x1 vid? It's hard to tell because of the camera angle. Unfortunately I decelerated too slow and got stuck in the hole. When I ramped up to 315 a second time it was a lot smoother.

During the rep some guy (6'6 rugby player) was doing pullups, finished, came over, was gonna spot me, but I managed to grind it out. We were both like  . It was a real broment.

I took yesterday off. My recovery is pretty insane right now. I feel fuckin' SPRY, like an hour after this workout. Also fitocracy is down so I have to type all this out AAARERRGGHHH squat 45x2 135x2 185x2 225x2 275x1 (this is where my legs usually start to hurt) 295x1 315x1 335x1 355x1 (this is kind of a PR because the bar I used here is 2.5lbs heavier, there was a guy spotting me who touched it during my sticking point but I was at the top so I would have gotten it anyway, hence why I still count it) 315x1 295x1 (this is where my legs actually started hurting) 275x1 225x3 225x3 225x3 MAN. Every rep felt good and was fast except 355 obvs. Took a lot longer for the pain to kick in and it wasn't nearly as severe as usual, either. Neutral grip pull-ups 22 (gently caress yeah) 15 10 10 8 8 12 12 4 (just to be cheeky... puts me at 101 for the session) SSW... BB overhead press 45x5 75x2 95x2 115x2 135x2 145x1 155x1 160xF the f stands for FUUUCK 145x1 145x1 145x1, F, F Definitely stalled on these but my dietary habits have been so bad lately I'm embarrassed to even post them so no surprise there. On the plus side, my failure to bulk effectively over the last few weeks in tandem with me training my loving rear end off has yielded a noticeable improvement in leanness, so I guess I can't really lose.

Pros: I have discovered the secret to why I can't sleep and have been enjoying the best sleep I've had for months these last couple of days. Cons: It's from eating before bed. My schedule looks something like this: 11am-2pm - wake up, go to gym 2pm-7pm - do whatever 7pm-4am work 5am sleep So basically I have to cram all my calories in between 2 and 7pm, and then usually my last meal before bed. I can't see any way around this - I either trade sleep for gains, or try to eat 5500 calories in 5 hours. Eating at work isn't a very good option, either. Last night I chewed the same piece of gum for the entire shift because I was too busy to spit it out.

Haha yeah, it was you too. I should do it at home before I go to squat when my legs are feeling particularly lovely (like today), but to be honest... I just squat. Squatting fixed most of my issues. I used to have medial, anterior, and lateral knee pain, a lot of soreness in both my ankles, and a weird popping problem in both hips. Both knees are now pain-free (except for some quad tendon irritation but that's just from the volume/frequency), and my left ankle/hip are fine. My right ankle/hip have improved a lot but are still a little "weird".wasianchickn posted:My butt is bigger than his. Probably... but since I switched from lowbar to hibar squatting I've been getting the most ridiculous glute DOMS, so I expect that to change. And KBD, yeah, I judge my workouts on 3 variables. 1) The weight lifted, 2) the speed of the reps, and 3) how much pain I'm in. Today I missed my max by 20lbs, lifted the slowest reps of my life, and hurt too much to finish my squatting. 0/3. That's a bad workout. Fortunately I did a bunch of cable crossovers and brocep curls at the end and that made it all better. Also my back is getting strong as gently caress which means I'm getting closer to my goal of having a back that is actually scary in a literal rather than metaphorical way.

Took yesterday off to spend the day with my mom. I'm such a good son. Today I woke up and my legs felt awful. Just achy and stiff.
