Snap,
Just watched your pull-up video, first great job, you are crazy strong, second, videos like that should come with a warning for gravity challenged people like myself, one of those “Performed by a trained professional” disclaimers, because seriously I felt my will to lift drain away around rep #5. I was sitting on my couch watching it on my laptop when my wife asked “Can you do that?”, I think we all know the answer to that question.
Great work, glad you’re back.
Ahh, Brian. You are funny.
And whoever told me to pull my chest to the bar during pullups . . . great advice!

How are you feeling with squats?

I’m not gonna lie. It hurts. But I really wanna lift. So I push through.
Thanks for asking, Joe.
I’m concerned about you. How are you feeling with squats?

I’ve never seen kneeling facepulls. I tek it they are meant to keep you from cheating the facepulls?
Good work. What made you decide against abs?

I’m keen to hear your response to this because I cheat like buggery on facepulls.
I cringe when I hear of you working through pain on the squats. That can’t be a good thing, but I’m sure if I was in the same position I’d do exactly the same.

It’s the thought that counts.
Do you squat wide still (hope not!)? Right hip or left hip, and are you righty or lefty?
Unlike you, I am (hope) not injured. But I started getting hip joint pain a while back even though I don’t squat wide. I made some adjustments which I think helped. I can expound if you’re interested.
Its all good snap, keep on keepin on

Definitely allows me to lock in my position better.

Didn’t seem like fun at the time.

The damage is done. For me, squatting with discomfort is better than not squatting at all. [quote]punnyguy wrote:

I have narrowed my stance. It’s my right hip. And I’m right dominant. Squatting narrow is definitely kinder on the hips. I’m always interested in hearing how I can improve.
