Also, soreness is becoming much less of an issue. Things seem to be progressing well!
One week down, still many to go (I’m hoping for six weeks in total but I might have to cut it short due to starting pre-season training soon for football - Australian football that is…). I have another workout today, trying to up the weight once again.
One minor problem I’m having is that I get this weird click on the outside of my kneecap when I get to about parallel in the squats. Its a very slight pain also. Could it possibly be due to bad patella tracking? Because I’ve always had terrible knees, specifically issues with my patellas often not staying in the groove in the knee joint…
when people do “dumbbell rows” i see one knee on a bench, same side hand on bench, torso at 90ish degrees, with all variances of torque on the spine due to stretching the lat at the bottom, from none to a lot. when i see Matt Kroc or someone else do “kroc rows”, typically they weight is heavy enough that they need chalk or straps, both feet remain on the ground, torso is in between 30 and 90 degrees (sometimes varying to help lift the weight using erectors), and there is almost always torque on the spine due to the amount of weight lifted by one side of the back. that’s how i differentiate. for my own terminology, it’s all about the angle. i try and do kroc rows at the same angle as a barbell row, just with my non-working hand steadying my torso against something.
This is a Kroc row.
The last name doesn’t hurt.
