Hyperion1001: hittin squats

Hyperion1001 06.30.24	list = digs
Ryus 06.30.24	love pev he never disappoints. "raw code" is one of me all time favorite tunes
artificialbox 06.30.24	“lower back feeling good knees not to much” lol same dude. my left knee has been fucked for over a year due to IT band and lower hamstring tendon issues. can’t run or bike as much as I used anymore but I still be hitting those squats.
Hyperion1001 06.30.24	livity sound also rarely disappoints the new forest drive west collab they put out is also tops
Hawks 06.30.24	My lower back is fucked and I just turned 32. Sucks ahrd.
Ryus 06.30.24	im 23 and my knees are already fucked lol acl tears suck! yeah hype one of my favorite labels around def
Hyperion1001 06.30.24	ive switched to exclusively front squats and it’s done wonders for both my back and my knees. my biomechanics just gel so much better with the motion than back squats. sure I can’t do nearly as much weight but I tend to focus on volume more than weight nowadays anyways.
Hawks 06.30.24	Ryus ur only 23????? Holy shit I feel old.
jrlikestodance 06.30.24	Saw Hodge play a DIY rave in CO that got broken up by the cops. He played "Dance til the Police Come" by Pev right before it happened lol
artificialbox 06.30.24	interesting. right now I just do squats with dumbbells at home but if I ever start going to the gym I’ll give front squats a try
budgie 06.30.24	dopes i do front squats a bunch cause i dont have a rack or cage. miss back squats but for knee pain for squats: if you dont know, keep knees behind your feet from a vertical plane when squatting, and do serious quad stretches
DominionMM1 06.30.24	#hacksquats
Hyperion1001 06.30.24	i tried the hack squat machine at my gym and it honestly obliterated my knees.
budgie 06.30.24	have you ever tried reverse deadlifts? good leg esp butt exercise w/o much knee strain (bar behind body)
mindleviticus 06.30.24	Just do leg extensions, glute ham raises and planks and you have a make shift squat that doesnt hurt your knees... problem solved
Colton 06.30.24	leg extensions are one of the worst things for your knees
DominionMM1 06.30.24	“i tried the hack squat machine at my gym and it honestly obliterated my knees.“ try barbell hack squats homie
ncguitar 06.30.24	after years of chasing big lifts, I'm way happier doing leg press, kettlebell swings, and deadlifting like once a month squats def gave me a good foundation tho
budgie 06.30.24	yeah i never deadlift anymore, for a lot of reasons. just front squat, overhead press, cleans, and a rowing machine. dont have huge forearms anymore but w/e not tryina jerk off an elephant
mindleviticus 06.30.24	If youre doing crazy weighted leg extensions maybe
Hyperion1001 06.30.24	deadlifts are the best exercise you can do and ill never stop. i love them so much. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWUcHKAj_tc
artificialbox 06.30.24	i will never stop glutemaxxing
budgie 06.30.24	5plate? 6plate??
Hyperion1001 06.30.24	only 3 plate rn but i dont do maxes anymore. my routine is 5x6.
budgie 06.30.24	oh yeah i feel that i went as high as 445 before deciding it wasnt worth exacerbating sciatica. sad to never hit 495 but ya know gotta be realistic and make realistic decisions
Relinquished 06.30.24	short resistance bands on the knees you’ll thank me later
artificialbox 06.30.24	good tip and good reminder because i need a new resistance band
budgie 09.12.24	been doin backsquats since i bought a cage and i am sooo chuffed
Hyperion1001 09.12.24	i started doin backsquats again with the fronts but lower weight high rep and they feel good.
budgie 09.12.24	noice. i fuckin dread doin front squats every time but backsquats feel so comfortable and natural, im stoked to be doing them again. ahhh so stoked
Asdfp277 09.12.24	squarts
BallsToTheWall 09.12.24	5x6 sounds interesting. Just been doing 3 day body splits a week lately.
Gmork89 09.12.24	im 6'7 its been a decades long journey trying to find a squat that feels correct.
BallsToTheWall 09.12.24	I feel that, Finding that form has also been a process. What’s the most comfortable way for barbell fronts?
Relinquished 09.12.24	shoes and core workout prior, for me
budgie 09.12.24	@balls 20 minutes of stretching every morning. goes for cleans and snatches as well. nothing is more important
BallsToTheWall 09.12.24	Sounds good bud, I’ll try that and sadly have neglected core for a decade. Tomorrow’s the start for core and cardio. The belly, it’s got to go.
budgie 09.12.24	i get one of those huge 1-lb cartons of mixed spring greens and dump vinaigrette and a lb of rotisserie chicken on top everyday, pretty impossible to have a belly with that diet. doesnt get boring either yummy leafs. make your own vinaigrette too yum yum
BallsToTheWall 09.12.24	Noted and bookmarked.
chemicalmarriage 09.12.24	Budgie you sound like a fucking unit
budgie 09.12.24	i cant even dl 5plate im nothin special
BallsToTheWall 09.12.24	I definitely got too arrogant over the years form avoiding core. Holy shit core day is humbling.
artificialbox 09.12.24	I’ve been doing regular strength training since developing a chronic overuse injury on my left knee, and now I am sooo close to being able to do a pistol squat. it’s my number 1 goal right now.
Relinquished 09.12.24	Yea pistol squats for sure are humbling
BallsToTheWall 09.12.24	Tomorrow It is.
MO 09.12.24	"shoes and core workout prior, for me" this, especially a core workout. my strongest squats are when my core is feeling super strong
DominionMM1 09.12.24	love zerchers for core strengthening
Butkuiss 09.13.24	Zerchers are putrid.
DominionMM1 09.13.24	bet you don’t even hack
Relinquished 09.13.24	kuiss lifts but doesn’t zercher cuz he can zerch for a reason why
Butkuiss 09.13.24	I rotated hacks out of my routine for Bulgarians this cycle and let me tell you throwing them in after front squats is all the nausea I need for a day!!
budgie 09.13.24	buttkiss what did you do with smok
Hyperion1001 09.13.24	yeah where is he
budgie 09.13.24	you bastards didnt show him enough love
BallsToTheWall 09.13.24	Zerchers? You guys are sick fucks but I respect it.
Butkuiss 09.13.24	Unfortunately I regret to inform chat that I was feeling balls after seeing maiden last night and only managed 3x150kg before tapping out. I’ll do better next week : (
Butkuiss 09.13.24	I sentenced Smok to six months of Greyskull. He’ll be returning as soon as he finished his accessories > : 3
