If you don't mind the price, Dymatize Iso-100 is exactly what your looking for. Doesn't taste bad either.

Is it even possible to gain 17 pounds in a week? lol
 
most of my knee pain comes from arthritis (mostly in my left knee). the rest of the discomfort when going deep just comes from many years of inactivity and severe inflexibility. i've seen people raise their heels on weights and i'll try it with very light weight and if it hurts me more, i'll stop it immediately. if it seems to help, i'll probably invest in some lifting shoes. out of all my fitness goals for the year, probably my highest priority is getting my squats nice and low and progressively upping the weight. most of the guys at my gym that even do squats, do em with horrible ROM. thanks for all your input guys.

It was demotivating as hell to see that on the scale lol. But I knew a lot of it was water weight, undigested food in the system, muscle glycogen refilled.

Good thing I was active that whole week walking atleast 1hr-2hr daily, 40 minutes elliptical daily, 6-7 hour shifts of standing/moving around, and lifted weights.

As for how I strained/injured my wrist, it happened during deadlifts. I'm not sure how since I check my grip before my first rep, but that's when I felt the pain. I massaged it, and all that...it seems better now, but some pain still lingers.

As for PT...that's over. My insurance decides to announce that they don't pay full price for PT visits till after I rack up a $600 bill. Only way I can keep going is if I pay $70 per visit, that's dead.

I'll just start slowly training shoulders/chest again. I'll add 1 new exercise per week till I'm back to where I was.

I'm taking the next 2 months to reintroduce movements, then I'm planning to do a 4-6 day lifting split in August. Not sure of which I want yet.

eff you man >:

i'm in the middle of the most horrible cut. my nutrition is crap. i'm alternating binges on high calorie foods with poor nutritional value and starving myself. it's taken me 3 months to drop about 15#. my goal is to lose 15# more. i've lost a huge amount of strength in my bench press (partly because i hurt my elbow) and all my lifts have gone down way too much. i'm just taking this time to work on my form/tempo etc. still enjoy the gym and my body is looking better. i used to look bigger and more muscular with a t-shirt though :lol

I had a TFCC tear and that took a long time to heal. If I were you I wouldn't eem lift at all until it heals completely and continue to do the PT or at least do what they had you do during PT.

 This man knows. It is more effective to rest and take your time with injuries. My wife (a licensed physical therapist) be telling me to take it super slow when coming back from injuries, no matter what it is. Added strain isn't going to let it fully heal.
 
wow, didnt know a miscer started it. just saw it on there in a random thread and thought i might try some. cake batter sounds good 8o

Hats actually the opposite of what he should do. Lifting his heels will only make his problems worse, not correct them.


If the issues are bad knees and poor flexibility, being in a heel lifted position only exacerbates the problems. The goal should be to make corrective solutions, not ignore them or make them worse.


If the heels need to be lifted, it means theres an issue somewhere within the movement. It could be related to stance, depth, Flexibility, or an incorrect muscle activation pattern. Weightlifting shoes provide minor heel lifting, and thats fine but standing on weights is a totally different thing.


If youve got knee pain and poor flexibility, squatting with the heels lifted is only going to create more knee pain.

id have disagree slightly. now im sure you know what youre talking about and can back it up but im just saying from expericence.

my knees are pretty bad. ive torn my meniscus, hyperextended both knees several times, and have even had them drained before because of fluid buildup. this was all back in hs but ive had knee pain when lifting since then. if i squatted or DL, my knees would be sore for days, even with light weight 

i bought the adipowerlifts, with a raised heel, and it made a world of difference. no longer do my knees get sore, it takes alot of the pressure off them when lifting.. im not saying anyone with knee problems should get them, but they definielty helped me

When you squat, do you go with a low bar position or are you up high closer to the top of the traps?

If youre going with a more power squat-esque bar position, then the heel lift isnt much of an issue at all and I can see how it would alleviate some of your knee pain. The reason I wouldnt ercommend it to most people (and especially anyone in here) is because the typical gym goer squat has the bar way too high on the back. Their knees are going to be too far forward to begin with and lifting the heels only takes the knees even farther past the toes.
 
been in a rut, dont even feel like cooking tonight. Smh I`m gonna go ham for 2 weeks no cheat days after tonight.
 
Man im in love with my Breville Juicer... Drinking myself an orange/apple shake right now... Its so damn good, just gotta figure out a way so it wont throw out bananas
 
against my better judgement, i watched the latest fousey fitness vid because he posted in here again. dude, you laid off for 3 weeks and think that you're tangibly smaller as a result? c'mon man. stop it.
 
New PR! Coming for that 1000lbs before too long!
400
