On the Strenf

I don’t know if any of this has been covered earlier, but have you considered squat/Oly shoes and/or briefs if you are going to keep up with the high(er) volume squating? I know I am supposed to think supportive equipment is somehow “bad”, but I sort of consider that the serious lifters tend to use it a “clue”.

Also, I fucking posted in your thread and now my shoulder is feeling a bit “off”. I could attribute that to the joint locks the day before, or any of the past trauma, but I have decided it was caught from your log. So hurt less, it is contagious.

Regards,

Robert A

Im sorry your shoulder is hurt-
sadly Iron does sharpen Iron

Id tell you to rub some dirt on it.
but instead Im going to tell you to put it in a sling
your ass that is
and put two cranberries in a glass and pour a fingers worth of bourbon over them
drink and repeat until the cranberries are green

as for joint locks there is some one in my house who is 4 and weighs 55 lbs-
who can do an arm bar, a kimura an americana and some other chokes
so I feel your pain

I wear Oly shoes- have the budget adidas pair but I have been looking to switch
I also use a knee sleeve- an elbow sleeve ( when needed ) and also sadly wrist wraps

I have thought about briefs or at least some compression shorts but Im really in the dark about them

I can’t make these feel “right” for the life of me. Every time I think they are “almost” there, but the external rotation aspect is sort of “off”. Enough folks seem to like them though so I will try a few more times before I put them in “lead hand uppercut territory” and just come up with excuses why I don’t learn them.

I made this switch a while ago and resent not having done it sooner.

Glad you got to enjoy the family.

Robert A

Nice squatting, the 225x20 at the end looks like a ballbuster.

That was funny, and I have to agree. Is there a pro fighter who actually does the “lead hand uppercut”?

I googled “strenf” and found that it is contagious, might have to post more in here…
