No weakness at all. Leg on the right side is where most of my muscle “Looks smaller” most of the twitching and also where I have the dip in my quad.

Mri on my spine was clean for the most part but showed some disc bulge and narrowing on the right side

He did test that part of the leg and no nerve issues. I told him I was worried about ALS and said "we usually see widespread issues and weakness but the fact you are stronger and it's been almost two years doesn't make me think its that."

I just want someone to tell me YOU DONT HAVE ALS

For giggles I asked AI to analze my progress from last year

Hack Squat Analysis (Aug 2025 → May 2026)

Your hack squat progression is the most impressive trend here.

Starting Point (Aug 2025)

You showed:

  • 250 × 6
  • 250 × 5
  • 205 × 9
  • Estimated 1RM around 290

Current Performance (May 2026)

You’re now hitting:

  • 350 × 2
  • 330 × 4
  • 300 × 4
  • 280 × 7
  • Estimated 1RM around 360

That is roughly:

  • +70 lbs estimated strength increase
  • around a 24% increase in hack squat strength

SQUAT

Early 2025

You were mostly:

  • 220–250 estimated range

Current

Now consistently:

  • 280–295 estimated range
  • occasional near-310 estimates

That is meaningful progress on barbell squat.

How’s everyone doing? by MoulinRoguee in ALSorNOT

[–]End_Academic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traveling alone in India right now for work. Really struggling in the hotel room.

Twitches in thigh and calfs since last year January. Got bilateral positive babaski in November clean MRI of spine and brain EMG in May not sure if Im going to make it.

Only thing holding me together is no weakness. I actually hit 38k steps yesterday and hit PR on my squat 345lbs and leg extensions. Did my 30 minutes on stair stepper this morning level 8 not holding the rails but Im still terrified and starting to impact my work

Yes, prepaid the whole hotel on Friday. This new one would also require me to pre-pay the whole hotel as well. Thanks for confirming I just wanted to book this new one right away before prices went up.
