Can anyone recommend any protein-rich foods for a vegetarian? I don't eat fish or chicken either, so, what vegetarian food is full of protein?
Are you vegan? Do you have aspirations of being HYOOGE or throwing around impressive weight? You can meet protein requirements easily through eggs and dairy. Your farts will likely be horrendous though.
Your body will also self-regulate to a certain extent. If you aren't eating enough protein to support your muscles then your body will metabolize glucose into pyruvate which can then be used to produce ATP for your muscles through Glycolysis.*
*I think I have that right. I've only just started learning about this kind of shit a few months ago and have put in close to no research. So read it as you would anything else on the Internet and don't believe it.
I'm having a very difficult time keeping my knees from buckling on heavy weights during the squat. I've self-diagnosed myself as having under developed glutes/hamstrings in comparison to my quads, but I've yet to find a proper accessory that I can do in my gym to help (glute ham raises seem the favorite, but I've not found a place to do them). There are a bevy of possible exercises, but I'm interested in which experience or science would recommend to encourage growth in the squat.
When you say knees buckling what exactly do you mean? Collapsing in so they're pointed at each other? Something else?
Yes, I'm able to keep my knees following my feet under 70% exertion or so. Whenever I start getting close to my max my quadriceps take over and I'm unable to keep my knees in line when trying to come out of the hole. As a result I've started having dull pain around the bottom of my patella.
While I don't plan to stop squatting, since it's the core of my workout regimen, I do plan to work in some glute activation exercises. I'm just not sure which yet.

RDLs get the job done for me and are a decent substitute if you can't find a spot to do GHRs. Good mornings would help too, but personally I get a lot more glute activation doing RDLs. Glute bridges are another option.
The best option is probably still to just do squats and focus on keeping the knees out and sitting back. This'll get both the glutes and hamstrings more involved.
Was supposed to go push my buddie's new prowler today but snapped one of my toes breaking it in a real real nasty way in jiujitsu yesterday. It SUCKS.
Is there absolutely any reason to go to a doctor for a broken toe? It's got a big section that's now black but I'm guessing they'd look at it, send me for xrays, x ray it, make me wait a week, then tell me to tape it to the toe next to it again.

Get a foam roller and a tennis ball and really work the hell out of the IT band down the outside of your thigh. Tightness there often causes pain in the patella tendon. My spot is about 2/3 the way down the thigh to the knee, right up under the quad muscle. That point, oh, she is a dreadful dreadful bitch to dig out but when I get it - knee pain is fixed.
We used to do natural GHRs at my last gym by loading up a barbell with 100-120kg and wedging it behind whatever equipment was around so it couldn't move forward. Get your feet under it and go for gold. Need towels for knee-ground and ankle-bar cushioning. Tough exercise to do (I was on negatives for about 2 months) but it gives you some mean strength in the trunk.

I always love Im more sore 2 days after a workout than the day after. Oh well at least I know the cure, deadlifts!
It's been almost 2 years since I started exercising. Went from 205 with little to no muscles (especially upper body) down to 190 just with diet and slowly back up to 205 through diet and gym. I'm not done by a long shot, but I just weighed myself last night and realized I was back at my pre-exercise weight. Now it's just mostly muscle instead a fat. Good times.
ok...so I watched "Pulling John" - it's a documentary about John Brzenk, who, in addition to needing to buy a vowel, is the best pound for pound arm wrestler in the world. Interesting documentary, it's on netflix, yadda yadda
they show one of his opponents training in russia. Russians have this weird tendency to make their own ghetto weight equipment.
So this guy, he's laying down in a hipsled and pressing it with his arms. And it's got like, 400 kilos on it.
Trying to translate it into a likely benchpress number baffled me.
that is all, return to your grunting.
Another good one is Bigger, Stronger, Faster. It's about steroids.
God damnit. I absolutely nailed my weight move up on my squats, then floundered around with my bench and deadlift. Blaahhhhh.
For the past 2 or 3 weeks I have been absolutely destroying my Squats on my Push days. Then I go to Front Squats and they suck. And Bench Press feels heavy. I think I am just stressing my CNS too much in the beginning of my workout with those heavy squats.
i am no longer measuring my strength gains via weight
i am measuring them by number of people i take out at the bar in a single shove
I thought you were measuring it in punches to the ear that you shake off.
haha touche
seriously, they hurt.

Picked up a 3/4" 4x6 sheet of rubber for $39 yesterday so I can deadlift. I need another 4 mats to finish my home gym area in my garage. It's really starting to shape up. Can't wait till I finish it.
First week of wrestling is almost over. My legs are sore. My entire body is in pain. There are bruises all over my legs, something in my right elbow hurts, and I pulled a muscle in my chest and back.
Fuck yes the hi top chucks. I've got the velcro strap on there too. Good to lift in.
I've tried raised heel a couple of times but I don't know if it's for me. I'm very very glute dominant. In fact 40% of my bodyweight is glutes and glute-related accessories.
After 4 weeks of insomnia since this shit with the girlfriend went down - finally got my first decent night of sleep. 9 hours. I feel fucking invincible right now. Thank you very much, valerian root.
and sometimes when you're sick and the symptoms haven't hit yet and you have gone to the gym and just wrecked your body and you will feel twice as bad
that's happened to me before i reckon
also, yeah hi top chucks what the fuck else is there? ain't no scrub.
decided to hold off on the gym until three - fucking parking services was there handing out tickets when i drove by twenty minutes ago. do not feel like a parking ticket currently. got $60 from my change cup today

if you're already on the way to being sick, and then you work out hard, then your body is trying to fight the disease AND fix your muscles
so yeah that
also ow this tweaking of my shoulder thing hurts, my fault for bad deadlift form.

There, see how easy that was?
this was during warmup set #3 of deadlifts at 235
i am pretty sure it was because i was not keeping my shoulders back/tight that set. that would make sense right?
oh well i'm sure it'll be fine in a few days but it hurts now, and it made doing my work set of 265 hard, i only got 3 mediocre reps
haha touche
seriously, they hurt.

gonna go cash my change in and see about buying some converse those seem to be the consensus weight lifting shoe for cheap, no?
@Xehalus bridges/planks & six inches
Good times.
Hi top and high socks, make the ladies swoon.
Xehalus squats, deadlifts, hanging leg raises.

Is there something lifting related that could cause me to feel ill? Like... flu-like symptoms? Started about three hours after I left the gym.
Squats, pullups, dragon flags.
that's happened to me before i reckon
