dude you don't need much for it to get in aye. That is awesome news about the knee not giving you any grief. If you go back on Sat do some pause squats. 3 sec in the hole for a few sets and you'll know ALL about it lol. Giggity!!

Couple of good sessions in the latter part of this week.
Weds went though the usual legs stuff I've been doing plus added more weight for squats. Felt pretty good and next day....yep got em good. Happy with the progress.
Yesterday was shoulder and smashed em with volume.
This morning swapped out the deads for rackpulls and smashed out a few good sets. Forgot how much I enjoy these!
-
are you, or do you, use straps on your deads and rack pulls?
-
Yeah mate straps and belt.
-
So you guys would recommend strap-ons?
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel wrong thread!! lol

Another wednesday rolls around and another leg session gets the big tick. Squats felt really good again today. Expecting some DOMS tomorrow as also hit the calves very hard.
Not sure if I've mentioned it before but I've been doing a lot more cold showers after my workouts. There were a couple of times over the years when the gas was out at the gym and we had cold showers....and it wasnt too bad. Lately I've started the shower off warm (so can soap up well and actually get clean etc) then crank it hard to cold for the last couple of minutes. Took a but to get use to but actually feels farken good and refreshing. Will be a challenge in winter so will have to see how long it lasts
-
I'll say it again @JK, wrong thread.
Oh wait, you mean cold showers to help with recovery. Aha! Yeah I think that would help, not just in summer too.
You should check out the Jujimufu vids on Youtube where he was visiting Thor in Iceland. Thor has a super hot spa and a ice spa set up. He does like 10min in each 2-3 times and swears that it makes a massive difference in recovery.
Good to hear legs are going well mate. Ooh you gotta do a LOT of work to get calves doms. Enjoy!!
-
Yeah probably not just for recovery benefits but also the mental and emotional benefits

Son's pre season fitness training for rugby kicked off yesterday arvo so joined in as the guy who takes it is pretty hard case and always puts them through their paces.
Lots of running around the found broken up by pressups, burpies, planks and situps. After about 20mins of this there were hill sprints (2 lots of 5 repeats) and more pressups, burpies, planks and situps. Then another lap of the field before the kids hit the the bags. I was on the hold and boy can those J1s and 2s can hit them pretty hard.
Funny thing at the start was that the guy was telling them it was gonna be hard and didn't want to hear or see any crying because 'There is no room for crying in rugby'. He also told one kid (who said he couldn't go on because he was 'about to faint') to 'go and faint under a tree' haha. I cracked up.
