You also have a great risk for injury by starting at your max first. I would strongly advise against that. It seems counter intuitive to do a work up because you feel you're using more energy to get there, but that's not the way it works. Your body needs to prepare for its max. And you aren't going to be lifting shit if you injure yourself. You will be drinking kratom smoothies with dino.

One thing I can't stress enough is resting between sets. If you need to take a 3-5 min break while maxing that's ok. That's only going to benefit your next lift. I also have either protein powder in water or just honey in water for some extra energy during lifts.

Hope this helps.

Kaizersoze, are you working other parts of your legs as well? And what exercises?
I wasn't referring to just hitting a single everytime he does this. Nothing wrong with hitting your heaviest sets first after warming up properly. I was referring to his comment on not being able to do more the 1 in that set because he may be fatiguing himself to far before he actually gets to it

Honestly probably the major problem on people having injuries is most going for all these gainz don't do anything preventatibe maintence. See a lot of people with shit hip\ankle mobility loading barbells with hundreds of pounds and tearing apart their meniscus or grinding out there hip capsules when they can't even do it with just the barbell correctly. There's a lot more to this then just growing stronger and smashing weights out

Now that's something I completely agree with you on. I try to incorporate core and stability workouts into my routine.

I think one of the most underused machines for men is the standing multihip/glute machine. I will do the standing hip extension, hip adduction and abduction. I've also been doing a lot of forearm work since wrists are one of my weak spots. It's been helping immensely.

Something I've been wanting to try for more stability is the double barbell press with lower weight. Nothing crazy.

Great job on assisting this guys regainz!

I went too hard on my bike last September and my knee still flairs up, any advice on helping it get a fuller recovery?

I'm going to be a Paul bearer for my cousin today so I suspect the knee will be suffering tomorrow. He was a good lad though so it's the least I can do for him.

Well I laid my cousin to rest. Lowering the coffin wasn't as much of a physical strain for the knees as I feared it might be. I did shed an unBritish amount of tears though.

He was a cycling fanatic but died suddenly at home, early 40s. 'Natural causes'. Leaves behind a little girl and her mother. Not really natures way for things.

He was a decade older than me, and as such always a role model for his motivation, genius and kindness. I loved him and will miss him deeply :'(. RIP.

Jimmy Jams- My apologies for your loss man. That's never an easy situation. Celebrate his life, pick up where he left off in his memory! Much love to you and yours Jams.
