At least I've been making up for missed workouts later in the week. Only at 75~90% of my previous maxes I hear you man. Been super spotty all summer. Work, house and kids too stronk. I think I'm about to cut out of work early and lift right now for my first workout in weeks. Some of the dads at my gym have started hitting 4:30am workouts together cause of this lol. Sounds miserable but gotta do what ya gotta do That's brutal. You have to be passing out at 8pm doing that.

Again, though, this is a tacit acceptance of the Insulin Hypothesis, which I've been told is black magic, and that Calories In-Calories Out is the only important thing because physics.
I agree that it would be great to test your individual insulin levels, especially if you're towards the good end of the scale, but, for most overweight people, I don't think it's some great mystery what the problems in their diet are.

Yesterday we had our Regional Championship. I competed in the -120kg class @113.75kg, because weight loss is just not gonna happen right now. There was no peaking involved, I still trained heavy until Wednesday.
Squat: 195/207.5/212.5 Bench: 127.5/137.5/142.5 Deadlift: 195/210/220 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm7v326hH_e/?taken-by=hendrik_ksc
I went 9/9 with a 575kg total. That is 335 Wilks points, which is still not very good, but finally I feel like I am getting somewhere, especially when it comes to how I need to structure my training to progress. It was a real good meet.
Four more weeks until nationals. Afterwards it is off-season for me, which means a lot of running and stuff. I honestly cannot wait. I really need to get back down to -105kg for 2019.

Pulled a 132kg snatch and 166kg clean and jerk out of absolutely fucking nowhere this weekend at the American Open Series 3 in Vegas. I was in bad shape and had a garbage prep cycle riddled with injuries and I put together my best lifting performance in 17 months. I don't get it.

The lack of 3rd attempt on the C&J to take first place is rather disappointing
Yeah I'm creapy

And I had reservations at Cut steakhouse to get to 😂

Hate to be that guy, but tips/judgement/critiques all welcome here. Would be greatly appreciated.

3x335 (152kg), 1x355 (161kg), and 1x365 (165kg)
Deadlifts always been a problem for me, and the one out of the 3 lifts i struggle the most with. I can see now, the roundness of the back, bad head/neck alignment while ascending amongst other things.
PS. Sorry for shitty camera angle. LA Fitness is a pretty big commercial gym, so this was the only angle I could get without placing it in other people's way.

finally going back to the gym after being sick for like a five weeks aldsfkjdlskfjaslfjas @_@
pretty much went back to baseline strength I feel like, but just really excited to start up again (knock on wood won't injure myself/get sick again)

Hello hello! How's y'all :D
Been going to the gym mostly consistently actually, but never made significant gains because I don't eat enough much (hard esp cuz I intermittent fast, mostly since I'm too lazy for breakfast lol), and get sick too often/occasionally get a minor injury :| Back on the grind now though!!
Forget if this has been answered, but at the bottom of my squat, I sometimes feel some pinching. Is this because I'm not activating my glutes enough basically (hear you're supposed to "spread the floor" etc)?
|
pinching where? in your toes?
|
Oh sorry, in my hip, like a hip impingement I think (*when I bottom out in the motion) :O
|
Have you done anything repetitive with your hips? I always feel like I have shit in my hips from TKD.
|
Hmmm I do kick scooter to work (as the coolest kid in the city).
Otherwise a lot of sitting, probably? D:

Imperfect movement patterns, asymmetric strength, poor range of motion, and even genetic bad luck will grind your hips during squatting movements, especially if you have cam and/or pincer bone impingements as a result of childhood and teenage sporting activity.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome has skyrocketed in the last decade, especially among the 30s-40s crowd who engage in high stress/impact activities like crossfit. Multiple studies have shown that a majority of men who played sports like soccer/basketball as teenagers have visibly diagnosable "impingements," usually involving of both cam and pincer type, even though most within that majority are asymptomatic. It is unclear whether extra bony material on the femur head and the acetabular socket is a result of degradation leading to arthritis from impact sports, or whether it is a way of trying to protect the body from said impacts.
So your choices as you get older include:
- sit around all day and assume a higher overall mortality rate greater than smoking, drinking, and obesity combined
- grind your bones and joints into dust until you are forced to sit around all day, assuming a higher overall mortality rate greater than smoking, drinking, and obesity combined
- try and work with and around your body so as to maximize its potential capacity in order to maintain movement, strength, and pliability into old age, but knowing that you cannot fully evade the slow stiffening of your soft tissues, the fraying of your cartilage, and the inflammation of your joints that comes with time

holy shit
Does this mean having less frequent/less impactful sporting activity in your youth would be better for your body?

Risky is gonna kick scooter his way into middleage in style, if not also with a handicap :D

No. It's unclear what it means at this point. As I said, most people with what could be diagnosed as cam and/or pincer impingement by looking at an x-ray are totally asymptomatic and have healthy labrum/cartilage in the joint, etc. In other people the impingement starts to tear and grind things. Doctors don't really know.
