Re: 🍚 Carb Timing: Pre or Post-Workout?

Depends on intensity. Low-intensity sessions don’t need much carb timing. Heavy squats = different story

Re: 🍚 Carb Timing: Pre or Post-Workout?

Not a myth, but it’s a wider window than old-school bros claimed. You don’t need carbs 30 seconds after last set.

Re: 🍚 Carb Timing: Pre or Post-Workout?

Agree with Soph. Unless you’re training multiple times a day, “window” isn’t as strict as people think.

Re: 🦵 Squat Form: Depth vs. Safety

But general gym-goers aren’t competing. For them, deeper might give more bang for buck.

Re: 🦵 Squat Form: Depth vs. Safety

Good question. Small butt wink is fine, but if lumbar rounding happens early, it’s risky. Fix with hip mobility + bracing.

Re: 🦵 Squat Form: Depth vs. Safety

I tell my clients: parallel minimum, deeper if you can maintain a neutral spine. Rounding the back is a no-go.

Careful with that, Dan. One wrong move and coffee meets carpet. 😂

About 60 sec. Sometimes less if I’m chasing a time challenge.

Re: What’s Your Go-To Home Workout? Share Your Routine!

I go full circuit style:

Jump squats (15)

Push-ups (20)

Dumbbell rows (15/side)
Repeat 4x. Sweaty and quick.

Re: 🏋️‍♂️ 5/3/1 Progression: Tips for Success

Speaking of deloads—how often do you all take one? I sometimes skip unless I’m wrecked.
