This is about as fast as I can go without looking like a power-walking twink. Also, if I take too long of strides I start heel striking like a mofo.

Notes
My legs are shot. Conditioning Friday, all day Saturday, then 2 hour walk yesterday. Add on today, and I think I overdid it.
Squat was painful on knees again. The video was probably of my best set. I think somewhere along the line I became obsessed with dropped between my knees, and as a result its placed alot of stress on my knee joints. The video set didn't really hurt, but by then my knees were already screaming. I may drop squats for a little bit. I simply cannot do what I want to do with them if I'm training with other people. I'd rather just drop them, let the guys squat, while I work on my goblets or something. I worked on them a ton this weekend in my aptartment and made a lot of progress.
I was burned out by the time I got to conditioning. 210 lbs was significantly more difficult than the normal 90 I do for extended sessions.
I don't like the 'notes' because those squats looked good! best I've ever seen from you
ReplyDeleteAgreed that they look good. My problem was that the sets before that hurt my knees. I'll give it another go and try to sit back like I was in that video and see if that spares my knees from the get-go.
ReplyDeleteits not so much sitting back as it is setting your knees..
ReplyDeletethey should be set 1/3-1/2 way down and then not move forward after that point.. it doesn't matter if knees are over toes or whatever, but forward movement in the bottom is a lot of shear force on your knees
im not sure if thats your issue or not but just thought I'd mention it
It kills about 1/3 up from the bottom. Feels like all the force is on my knees. (Again, I remember the vid above feeling pretty good, but that was a solid set).
ReplyDeleteHow do I set my knees?
By set, I mean, they should be as far forward as they are going to go and not move forward again by time you are 1/3-1/2 of the way down
ReplyDeleteYea I understand that. My question is how do I do that? Are there queues or drills or something or do I just think "stop moving knees."
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure man.. I know SS recommends TUBOW - Trust old block of wood.. placed in front of your toes so you set your knees in effort to not hit the wood.. or hit it over and over at least.
