Muscle Gain Forum

I’ve been skipping warm-ups a lot lately that’s probably part of my problem .

Yeah, I used to chase PRs every week. My elbows and knees definitely aren’t happy about it now.

I’ve been training for a few years now and my shoulders and knees are starting to feel it. For those who’ve been lifting long-term, what’s kept your joints healthy over time?

Front squats actually make sense, mine are trash compared to my back squat. Might explain a lot.

Yeah I think I might be losing tightness tbh. Do you guys stay super braced even at the very bottom or relax a bit?

My squat feels solid, but I grind like crazy coming out of the hole. Any tips, drills or accessories that helped you explode faster from the bottom?

Same here, getting back after time off sucks at first, but give it a few weeks and you’ll feel normal again. Just don’t rush it and risk injury.

Got it… so better to use them strategically, not every set. Appreciate it

Yeah that makes sense… I’ve been doing them on almost everything lately

Been running more supersets and giant sets to save time and get a crazy pump, but not sure if it’s helping growth or just tiring me out faster. What’s it been like for you guys?
