I think I’ll train this way more often, if I push too hard I crash too quickly

Back to full body training, and I think for a long run this time.

With my current situation (health, family, work) I can train 2 to 3 times per week.
I also lowered the weights on all my exercise to work further from failure.
My goal now is to improve my recovery capacity.

I think I may enter in the T-ransformation challenge this year to see how my body react to this training style. :man_shrugging:t2:

I hope my health will go to the right direction this next year. :crossed_fingers:t3:

I post here, don’t want to hijack the other log.

Legs lenght itself is not enough to explain a ā€œnot perfectā€ squat.
The ratio between the tibia and the femur + ankle mobility will dictate your squat.

Just look at Simeon Panda, really long legs, but huge tibia and an amazing ankle mobility

Edit : If you look how close his ass is from the floor and his femur is just under the parallĆØle. Try to squat this low and look at your femur position (and your torso)

Yeah I agree with you he’s more tibia! I have great ankle mobility actually but poor knee one because of the surgeries, especially my left one… I can go this deep on Goblet squats or something, but back squats no way, not with weight and maximal tension down there. it would just detsroy my knee anyway ahahah

Same here but with my right knee…

I don’t know if you have them but I can only recommend you to buy the ā€œMĆ©thode Delavier 2 & 3ā€ and the last one from Gundill ā€œLa musculation pour le sportā€.

I don’t but I appreciate the recommandation. I plan on making myself a nice ā€œsportsā€ library. I’m in love again with books

I moved into my new house this weekend, and I brought my garage gym back today, training will finally be able to resume!

Enjoying the new house? So how are you feeling with these full bodies? Looking low volume, is it high intensity?

1 Like

It’s so good to have your own house and not to be in an apartment anymore !

Yes low volume, not high intensity at all, I just don’t want to burn out too quickly.

I hope that my health will leave me alone this year, which will allow me to slowly increase in intensity and volume.
