Do you guys play it off?
I get those, I try to power through but you just can't
They are the worst, especially when getting the middle of the night, rollover buns.
Once you get one of those, concentration is off, it's a wrap.
yea its over dawg. when cramps strike...there's no going back. just gotta take the L. and whats worse is...as familiar as females are with cramps...when you get one...they just dont understand
lol. Like ***** this aint on purpose! I already told you I did stiff leg DL's and you show up wanting to do some kama sutra pretzel **** when I told you I needed to keep my legs straight. I'm losing more than you, beyond not getting this nut off, I'm also gonna be sore as hell when this muscle finally relaxes, go make me a ****** sandwich and shut the **** up.

I'm engaged so I'm not worried about the random cramp interruption lol
She knows the deal.
Usually just switch it up, and keep it moving.
Right afterwards I'll pound some water and hit my roller.

Front squats.
Or use a pad.
Tweak placement/form, your traps shouldn't be hurting like that after squatting.

Try to avoid machines...at all cost.
As far as pain, not much to say but suck it up. Otherwise, you can try front squatting, but that targets different muscles. Have you tried overhead squat? Obviously you will not be able to do as much weight, but it targets the same muscles along with involving your core. It's a ***** to get it, but when you do,

-False sense of strength
-promotes poor form
-restricts movement
-hinders mobility
Machines were created to assist people that are rehabbing, and somehow they made their way to the gym floor. For example, Squatting on a Smith machine is not the same as squatting with a barbell. The machine will control the movement.
You're better off taking the ego punch and lowering the weight and getting the movement right.

Only reason I ask is I see chains around neck to promote the forward lean in dips (chest focus), whereas belted dips don't (tricep focus). Why not just use plates or dbs if you are only doing belted?
No shots fired btw, I'm 100% curious.
