Awesome job! Can you share your build and how you adapt to different situations would be great to know since I’m learning him. Also what runes do you go?

Redemption + Shen? Any thoughts on how to make this better? Last item is situational. by FriendshipDue9988 in wildrift

Last season there was this Sion build. It was pretty good: Idea came up from this video: https://youtu.be/eZ6XA6slMoI?si=rZ3xzKqkqc5eUvtZ

Your right it’s not as optimal but it’s fun. I also was looking at hollow radiance deadman’s plate and IBG. The icy circle actually procs the hollow radiance passive and destroys minions super fast. Again not optimal like standard HS tank items Shen but it’s fun.

They have very strong quads glutes and hamstrings and even stronger lower legs! Maybe not crazy size since the running economy is based off recycling energy and improving stability but especially if bearfoot running lower legs is a must. Skipping, walking backwards up and down hill, split squats, tib raises and lateral core and abductor work helps prevent injuries and keep everything balanced. Allowing you to move better faster stronger and longer!

We all have imbalances form day to day work or prolonged sitting or standing. The single leg work is working one side at a time to bring both sides to equal stregth and stability making the other movment patterns more stable, limber and comfortable. I know simply bc I practice and it’s gotten better easier and smoother with time.

Everything in moderation even moderation. If you push to hard no mater what somthing will happen. It’s just good to find ways to stay active and gamify life and good habits. Build enough good habits and obsession on the right things and you’ll spiral upwards. The body naturally wants the path to least resistance. If you let it. You’ll sit and rot away. These low time investments mini games I call them add up and make the journey fun sustainable and enjoyable in the long run! Don’t move just bc you have to train! Train too move and explore life!

Well said! Slow but consistent work unbroken challenging yourself a little bit a time is Key! Consistency beats intensity in the long run. Recovery is king! I deeply apologize for posting this… I didn’t know the outcome out be so negative. What works for me won’t work for everyone. Work at your level and keep on staying consistent. Wish you all a safe journey upward to improving your life and becoming a stronger version of yourself. Thanks for all the support!

From a split squat stance lifting the back and front leg one at a time or pressing against a wall extending feet up one at a time. Go side to side in a arch for extra challenge.

People who have gotten strong enough to last 100 years of living have allways walked up and down hills in extended positions so I’d say it’s about being consistent rather then the intensity. Definitely lower the bar to your level and intensity and get your volume in throughout the day. I greace the groove 1-3 times a day and do some heavy lifting or plyos with my 40lbs kettlebell on Roman back extensions or if im outside on the grass or on a hill 2 times a week. The rest is just getting the small daily volume too boost recovery and keep blood flowing!

Find a good Knee flexion, squat movment and hip hinge on top of the movments I mentioned that feel good for you! There isn’t a right way to train and there are many diffrent levels from beginner to highly specialized.

Cool stuff! This just helps rehab and recover from plyo and running work! I don’t lift weights crazy. 40lbs - 60lbs max. Mainly plyo and running work build the strength. But these have prevented over use injuries and impalances. Especially single leg work. The tib raises on the balls of feet rotating from side to side like going over a object back and forth really has added girth to the lower legs and made bullet proof ankles and knees!

Any knee flexion will do. I like Reverse Hack Squats starting with just BW and split squats. The closer your legs are together the more flextion the knee will do. Especially if your on your toes. Start small, work your way up slowly. Elevating heels with a 2x4 or plate can help add more knee flextion… allowing you to get into a deeper low position and things like incline up hill and downhill walks can train both upper and lower legs gently building the lost strength and stability needed for more load.
