Health and Fitness>Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

After the last couple of lifts I've spent 10-15min in the sauna (due to lack of a hot tub) and I feel like it's actually helping me relax and helping my muscles feel a little better.

Any of you guys sauna or hot tub with frequency?

Nice lifts Charlie and Huy, get it!

Knee felt wicked again after squating Monday, I suspect I'm going to need some form critiques cause I can't imagine it's supposed to hurt afterwards.

Anyone using knee sleeves?

Charlie, I haven't used the sauna or hot tub post workout but I imagine it should help provided your not dehydrated.

Got in a quick cardio bunny session on lunch, elliptical, oh how Boring it is.

I use knee sleeve when I train heavy squats but I don't think I really want to train that heavy again. Your knees are going to hurt eventually, training heavy and frequently on legs takes a toll on your entire body.

I use SBD knee sleeves, they are pricey but well worth it. They are primary use for power lifters.

I use Nike Romaleos and knee sleeves when I squat. What kind of shoes you are squatting in?

No hot tubbing, maybe when I was in college and with girls.

Thanks for the input Huy, I will look them up on the usual suspects.

I'm wearing vibram five fingers for all of my lifting these day. I would go barefoot, but it's frowned on.

Howdy Men, Fellow Movers of the Weights.

Incline bench, flat bench, decline bench, flyes. Yeah, I was real creative today...NOT. :-)

Not much gas after hockey last night, but I really rocked the declines and ended up almost pumped as a MoFo. :-)

Good work Tom! Almost is close enough when it comes to MoFo pump! :-)

Speaking of hockey ... GO HAWKS!!!

Man, my left elbow is NOT happy with me now that I'm done lifting. I'm tempted to take the supplementary lift tomorrow since it's supposed to be light back & chest anyway. I don't wanna do to my left elbow what I did to my right :/

Good lifting by all!

Charlie, hope that elbow gets better quickly, sounds like you've got a plan.

Back today, did a cable pre-fatigue routine with super wide puldowns, neutral grip pulldowns and cable rows, then hit the barbell rows heavy....tough after all that cable work first, but good pump. Hockey tonight, so time for food and rest now.

Chesticles today. Was supposed to do shoulders but ran out of time. Will probably double up tomorrow with back and shoulders.

DB slight decline bench 3x8
Reverse band bench 5x5
Incline bench 3x6
Deficit weighted push-ups 3 sets until failure
A million face pulls (ok only a hundred but it felt like a million)

I listen to barbell shrugged podcast and they recently did an episode about "the window of gainz" aka peri and post workout nutrition. Made me change up a few things. I'm drinking a protein shake with dextrose added starting about 30 min before my workout and finishing it somewhere in the middle. Then within 90 min of finishing eating a meal. Before I was doing shake after the workout which held me over for a couple hours then I got a meal in. So far this way I'm getting more protein and carbs in closer to the end of my workout. Also I am getting more calories because I'm eating an extra snack after the post workout meal.

Good lift man! Keep it going!

Funnily enough, I listened to that same podcast last week, Christos. I've switched up a couple of things as well. I used to occasionally do a shake during a loft and BCAAs afterwards but last week and this week I've been doing my shake during and BCAAs after. I've also cut back on my BCAA intake. Previously is just mix up a BCAA drink throughout the day just as something to drink that wasn't water but I've cut that out as well. I'd always made sure to eat a good post workout meal before but I'm just more conscious of my carb intake now that I'm low carb/keto; I just take in the majority of my daily allotment of carbs after my lift.

I've been listening to a lot of their old podcasts while doing cardio and in the sauna afterwards. Some rly good info and cool/interesting guests on there. I was listening to the one about sleep (The One Thing That'll Make You Better At Everything) and it's been excellent!

I personally squat barefoot or in Converse.
