Masch once thing I’ve been told is that women are vulnerable to ACL tears and similar injuries during periods due to hormones that affect ligament elasticity or something like that.
One issue I have is when it hits at the time of a meet. I have had my weight all good to go then last minute had to shed an extra few pounds that came with my period AND had shitty performance because of period plus last minute weight loss.
Other than that I train normally but I am more forgiving to myself on the first day.

You could get tarred and feathered for this, you know?

For those of you who pull sumo - the fingernail on my right index finger often drags up my thigh and snags on my clothes. This interferes with my bar path and makes me feel like my nail might break off, and basically just fucks up my lift. Does anyone else experience anything like this?
I wonder if its a form issue, or whether it means I have to shorten my nails sad face

Any ideas, recs, etc.?[/quote]
Shorten your nails or use powder on you legs. I have this problem with both hands since I use a hook grip so the nails pull on both legs. I keep my nails fairly short.
However, I made an interesting discovery when I did my nails for the first time ever and had an acrylic kind of coat put on. They were really slippery and slid up my legs very easily.
I need to buy some hand straps. I’ve never had any of my own before but I’ve used them a few times and they make a difference. Any advice on what to get? Does it even matter or are they all the same?
quick ? as far as my pre wort out goes how do ya’ll feel about C4 it has creatine in it? My goals are to achieve a muscular lean and tone look. Should I be taking a pre workout with out creatine.

Never used C4 but creatine is fine. Everyone has their preference as to when they take it - before, during, after…I throw mine in with my pre-workout drink.
I saw that you’re using Indigo, have you looked at any of the pre-workout or creatine products in the T-Nation store?
Away. A lot of them got the boot from here and the ones that were left just felt mystified by the whole culling process that went on. I might start logging again just for the fun of it.
My girlfriend is getting into fitness and wants to learn how to squat/box squat. She seems to quit before she hits the box like she doesn’t have the strength to sit and just falls for the last few inches. Can you be too weak to box squat? How can I help her learn to squat? She is pretty tiny and WEAK. Should I strengthen her up a little bit with some machines/ smith machine? Should I make the box a little bit higher until shes stronger? Thanks
