ive never tried deadlifting in socks or barefoot.
I’ve heard that the bar moves on a better path and doesn’t hit the knees with weightlifting shoes, let’s see.
The adipower2 shoes came today, I was sleeping and they gave it to the neighbour, nice people, I tried them on and they fit perfect Thank God, I’m really excited to practice squats with these and change my form
Do you squat in socks too?
24/6/22 - form practice
thinking about what to do lol,
my legs and groin area is feeling properly sore right now, In a good way, I think I’m activating unused muscles with these weightlifting shoes and this new form
But I’ll still attempt the PR, I hope that makes you guys happy
0x 140kg (PR attempt failed)
The adipower2 shows does feel much better for my form straight away but I’m still getting used to it and finding my balance, I’m practicing lu xiaojun squat style right now
“Michael Matthews”
I’d definitely recommend the book to new lifters, I believe it’s worth reading
I’m walking to the gym now
No I’ve got some Adidas Drehkraft shoes for squatting.
Is he the sqaut University guy?
Hey guys, I just finished my dinner, when I was in the kitchen I squated down to turn on the grill and I almost fell over lol.
My hips, legs and groin is feeling way more sore than usual, i think the new squat form was activating unused muscles.
At least now I know where I am and what to do with my training on heavy and light days.
I need to work on my form and put it all together, when I went heavy I seemed to revert back to my old form. I probably won’t attempt a PR for a few weeks while I put In some volume and work on perfecting my form, I want learn to squat like Lu Xiaojun, I think I’m suited to his style because of my flexibility, i might try high bar or front squats, i really want to master my form so I can leverage more weight. I want to keep my back as upright as possible like Lu Xiaojun. And ill focus on memorising the new form technique so I don’t need to think about what to do in the moment.
I’m going to start getting ready for bed now
He’s a Chinese Olympic lifter, I like his squat form, if you watch him squat from the side it looks incredible
I am travelling back to Bulgaria in a few days
I miss Bulgaria, I lived there for a year of my life, i was happy in Bulgaria, I was healthy in Bulgaria, I became strong in Bulgaria, I gained 15kg in Bulgaria. When I got back to the UK I realised I fell in Love with Bulgaria. It somehow reminds me of Iran to be honest.
I keep having flash backs of my time in Bulgaria that makes me feel homesick
Last night in the gym I was thinking I want to go to my gym in Bulgaria, I feel confident I can do this in Bulgaria
I plan to push myself harder than ever before in my life in the gym
I just wanted to give some advice to the natty guys
Beware of jumping on the lion, once you are on it it’s hard to control and it’s hard to get off
My estrogen has been feeling slightly low for this cycle for the past few days, I think it’s probably still In the HRT reference range but I need more to balance the tren
I don’t want to increase my testosterone to 420mg per week because I don’t want to turbo charge the lion yet
From my experience TRT and cycling is never as simple as following a set plan, that can lead to disaster, it starts with a plan but then you have to react to upcoming changes, situations and circumstances
“Be prepared for the worst, hope for the best”
So the plan is to go full bulk mode for the next 6 weeks, put on as much muscle and peak my strength at the same time, then I’m planning to cut for 6 weeks to try to make everyone happy
For now I’ll make only 2 adjustments
Increase testosterone 1 notch on the insulin syringe which is 0.02ml which bring the daily testosterone dose to 40mg per day
And I’ll increase the dbol to 30mg morning and 30mg pre workout or afternoon and 10mg night
So now that’s out of the way I’ll get back to the safety information, I actually didn’t want to jump on tren in the first place, I felt lazy about it to be honest because I know it’s hard work to run a cycle let alone a tren cycle, at the time I felt like it was the right thing for me to do, I don’t know why, I was around 69kg and happy with my body and I was not even on TRT at the time, I was happy with everything and I wanted to stay off to be honest, because i know even TRT can be a headache
I had a feeling I should jump on tren, I felt like that’s just what I had to do, even though I didn’t want to do it.
so I did isthikara and asked God if I should jump on tren and the answer was “yes”, I think God wanted to make me commit to the gym maybe but after I first got on the bulk cycle test, primo, tren, dbol, it felt like medicine to me, and I was thankful to God, I didn’t realise it would make me feel healthier and happier
But at the same time, I admit I do sometimes feel confused even with my past experience on TRT, and sometimes I feel like I wish I could ask Hany Rambod or someone what to do with my cycle
And it requires constant attention, evaluation and application to prevent disaster
I decided to take a rest day today, I did some aqua therapy and now I’m feeling sleepy, I’m planning to sleep very early today.
I took a hot bath with sea salt, followed by a cold shower.
there are many health benefits to be honest.
I find It’s good for the urethra and prostate health, it relaxes all those muscles and I think the sea salt detoxifies the skin and body and improves skin condition and I find it reduces gut inflammation.
And I’ve heard empaths talking about water having spiritual healing properties and sea salt baths removing negative energy.
But like all things too much would be bad, especially for natty men.
I also spray rose water that I pray on over my skin, rose water is anti bacterial and it has spiritual benefits and applications
Im thinking to practice front squats tomorrow
I’m thinking to take another rest day to peak my strength for tomorrow, I’ve never tried to front squat before but I realised if I go today I would probably put 140kg on my shoulders
The reason I’ve never tried front squats is because regular squats give me good hypertrophy in the quads and I have been focused on bodybuilding but since i tried to set all my 1RM PR’ I realised i need to change my form on the squat
On the 140kg squat i realised I think I’m going negative, like trying to pec fly from the rear delt setting, so to fix this I think I need to try high bar or front squat to fix my form
Also I need to get comfortable in the weightlifting shoes, I’m not used to heels, i was falling forward I’m them, I think I need to lean back, it seems almost impossible to fall backwards in them, maybe I need to trust that and lean back, I need to find my balance in them
Also I forgot to mention my weightlifting belt was lose, I’ll need to tighten it, maybe 1 notch
Ohh yea the bulk is going very well guys, thanks for the support and positive energy. My appetite keeps increasing. I had 5 meals yesterday,
I’ve been drinking protein shakes around the clock, sometimes with fruit or carbs like dates and I’ve been having lots of small meals during the day. Im already looking so bulked up, ab visibility is reduced but arms and chest are growing very well, I’m planning to eat as much as my appetite allows and as much I can handle. I feel excited.
I wonder how much Iain Valliere charges for coaching?
I decided to extend the bulk to 8 and make the cut 4 weeks, I’ll start the cut with 10mcg of clen per day and obviously switch up my doses and compounds
Bulgaria has pharmaceutical clenbuteral and tamoxefin and Bulgaria is very good for blood tests and I think Bulgaria has pharma test sust too
It’s around £1.50 for a box of clenbuteral or tamoxifen from the pharmacy in Bulgaria
I won’t use ugl clenbuteral, what underground lab actually has the equipment to measure 20mcg pills? It’s dangerous
Today I’ll enjoy the sun, go to the park and go shopping for clothes and eat
