@garagerocker13

I, too, have had the pleasure of dealing with parental disapproval of my involvement in strength training. Still do with most of my family - they think I’m destroying my body and that it’s vanity driving my pursuit.

Try being an Asian girl My persistance has paid off in this regard though. They seriously consider RUNNING better for bone density

[garagerocker13]

Totally not shocked. haha Most people over 40 in my family have some severe spinal issues, so I just come back at them saying that maybe the things I’m doing will prevent such issues. They call me crazy but at least they calm down after that

Try being an Asian girl

I tried once, but it didn’t stick.

I think the guineapig philosophy applies here - you have to believe!

No tag but I’m there for anyone who believes

[alex_uk]

Ah yea sorry, I didn’t believe in tagging enough!

[Koestrizer]

It was explained somewhere above but tbh I’m still utterly lost as well.

@guineapig @Koestrizer
Dagill’s got it!

[guineapig]

So is crossfit.

[anna_5588]

No, it’s my bastardized version of Brian alshrue’s programming

@dagill2

do they not do workout algebra at piggy school?

They do in hamster school

[guineapig]

Meh. I’ll take Guinea Pig Uni Double Masters in Science and Health Literacy

[dagill2]

Just to clarify though, just because I can read it, doesn’t mean I do read it everytime. It’s an effort, so I often don’t decifer it and just skim over.

[anna_5588]

So… my knees are really pissed, can I skip pistols for today?
I’ll do my other upper body

[dagill2]

As far as I’m concerned, skip pistols forever.

[anna_5588]

Piggy and pinky like them.

[dagill2]

And Dan John dislikes them. We can defer to authority all day, but ultimately the only way you’ll know is to get a little uncomfortable and try switching to a very different quad builder for a while and see how that works for you.

[anna_5588]

They’re also a way to keep reps down such that my legs are the limiters, not my ability to hold the kB
I’m mixing in Cossack squats and step ups
