It takes me awhile to warm up i feel like lol.
But i go as low as possible. "Butt to the grass" approach. I read that the deep squats hit the glutes more and are what could actually help you increase your vertical leap. Whether it is true or not i don't know.
But i go heavy and its just i can't do anymore without fear of fainting lol. But my legs won't be dead. So i will just bang out as many reps as i can until i literally have gelatin legs and can't walk good.
But i will cut reps down and try to hit heavy earlier next time see how that goes. Thanks for the advice

for every species on earth, a diet translates to what they habitually eat for survival... for us, a diet is a short term goal... to truly be an animal, make your diet your habit - rayray3thousand
that is why people should stop calling at a diet, but start calling it a lifestyle..
any of you feel sluggish or no energy, try advocare spark... a really good energy drink.. all you do is add water... not sure if it was the energy drink, but it made my work out easier..

I can walk with a limp, should I hit the gym anyway to do back/bi? I have a tat appointment on Sunday and thats gonna prevent me from going to the gym til maybe Wednesday next week. I feel I should get my lifts in today and tomorrow and have a nice 3 day rest...anymore than that I just feel sluggish and out of it.
What you think bros?
Oh and backstory, sprained my ankle yesterday during ball. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, I still have a limp but bearable.

First time in a while that I didn't use caffeine before I worked out. Just a scoop of protein and preworkout supplement.
Really focused on my breathing, and that stretch and contract when doing my squats. I banged out 3 sets, 10-8-7 at 195 lbs. I could've done more, but I've been focused on just hitting 25 reps. I'm going to squat till my legs feel like they're going to break next time.

How many sets and reps of push ups and sit up should a beginner do in the morning?

I don't do sit ups personally, since I only isolate abs twice a week. As for push ups... do em till your arms give out.

Durden, do you recommend doing 'walk-outs' before going for a max?

Yo so originally my park didn't have a dip station. So I contacted the Las Vegas parks and recreation via email and made a case for putting a dip bar replacing the rope climb station.
Then the main person that deals with over 100 parks contacts me and says he wants to meet me at the park and wants me to pick what style of dip bars I want.
It should take 1-2 months for them to dismantle the rope climb and replace it with the dip station.
Las Vegas parks and recreation really does care about the ghetto areas of the city.

You refering to the walk outs that are similar to the inchworms, but only use the upper body?
Max in what?

so how is that even gonna work? when the weights bounce back up, it will be lighter for you to lift it.. so in a way you're not really lifting it yourself. it's just the upward force that is making it lighter to lift

Lmao!....challenging enough to properly do a snatch, these dudes made an elastic bar to completely mess up with the dynamics and momentum of the movement...
Sits back and waits for first lawsuit.

are you following a lifting plan? Sounds like you're just kinda ******g around trying to get 315. First off maxing weekly is counter productive. Your max is 305 - accept it. Get on a program where youre working predominately in the 3-5 rep range. Work your 3 and 5 rep maxes up. They're less taxing both mentally and physically. Once you can hit like 5x275, 3x390, you should be set to hit 315. Are you currently following a program or just doing what you feel like on that day? Something like the Texas method or 531 should suit someone in your position
