    whats your setup?  Im gonna get a power rack, adj. bench and bar/weights.  That will give me the most amount of movements per $ and space

    Got rogue mini monster rack(470)

    Titan bench(150)

    Texas power bar(270)

    About 500 lbs of plates(900)

    Olympic Db handles (200, ripped off due to price gauging)

    Various lat bar, land mine, all kinds of bands and chains all bought years ago. 

  2. Ran those vet grade eq years ago and worked better at 300mg/week than most UG at 600mg/week. I'd shoot no more than 2ccs of it and adda another 1cc of other compound(so 3cc total)and do it 3 x week.

    What? Where? They're keeping water parks & beaches closed this summer near me. Haven't heard anything about parks other than no team sports/pickup games (tennis is the exception). Apparently they even formed some "team" or whatever to go out & make sure people aren't doing like pickup basketball games & whatnot lol.

     

    One of those doorway pullup bars can be had for about $30. Can even use them to do pushups with different grips or to get a slightly longer range of motion with the neutral grip pushups for example. They can hold my 210+lbs ass up. Or you can get one of those "power towers" that has a pullup bar, dip handles, sometimes a seatback for some ab stuff, usually they have handles near the bottom too for pushups (again neutral grip & increased ROM). Those typically run between $150-$225 so not terribly expensive. I don't have one at my place, but I have one at my parent's house.

     

    I have a bunch of EliteFTS bands - some of the pretty heavy ones too. One of those bands unbent one of my small carabiners the other day....fucking thing came flying off & I'm pretty sure it dug into & ripped up a small piece of the linoleum floor in my storage room....really probably pretty lucky it didn't take a chunk out of my foot or leg.

     

    Yeah just ordered one of those door way pullups and dip station for 49 bucks. Really miss weights. My body doesnt feel the same and feel skinny fat lol

  4. eh there are conflicting studies tbh

    It seems like hardcore strength athletes with the muscle strength to support the lock it has little negative impact on. After all you lock at the top of a squat no? If you lock and release muscle tension its bad bad bad but if you remain tight through the movement it in theory should be ok.

     

    agreed. you want to lock the joints(in this case, terminal knee extension) but wanna make sure it's the muscle tension that's holding the weight and not the bone on bone support. in case of squats, you want all the joints locked and stacked, and use muscular tension to create stability.

  5. Thanks man. I try lol.

     

    Squats & deads had been basically my glute training for years too. Then I started having knee pain issues again after my knee surgery back in 2011. I knew this information, but obviously somewhere along the line I kind of pushed it aside. Probably because it's not that fun versus heavy squats & deadlifts lol. I am/was the same with with ab training - need to get back to doing that stuff.

     

    Like I said, most people are unaware of the huge role the glutes play in overall knee health. Most people think it is the quadriceps because they're right there by the knee. Obviously, the glutes play a more indirect role, but the fact remains that glute dysfunction tends to manifest as pain in the knee joint. I have discussed this type of thing, although not this exact information, on here before; if anyone wants an explanation of how the glutes are so important for knee health, I can provide an explanation, but I should have left for work like 5 minutes ago now lol.

     

    I'm sure many here would appreciate visual demo wearing tight little shorts.
