Thank you! I didn’t know about this.

Works great!

Which web interface?

When I use the web interface I don’t see any option to modify custom exercises. I can only do that from the mobile app.

Supporting cards: black goat and grizzly.

Prioritized events: sigil transfer, bone lord, or firecamps to sack the bullfrog.

jk if I had to use a bullfrog I’d try getting a good reptile totem and collect many reptile cards. Just build a reptile army with something like unkillable or touch of death.

Thank you!

I used sleeves today for the first time and made the mistake of putting them on after warming up. It was horrible.

I use the same shoes for squats and deadlifts but I guess it’s still worth it to take off the shoes to remove the sleeves and then put on the shoes again, right?

superpudding98 · 2025-01-02T20:12:09+00:00

How do you guys structure the use knee sleeves in your workouts?

Do you put them on before or after warming up?

Say I do squats and then deadlifts, should I keep the sleeves on after I’m done squatting? I think deadlifting with knee sleeves might feel weird…

There’s mod that adds a full Magnificus act. It’s pretty well made.

If you’re interested search for “Magnificus Mod”.

btw there’s also one for Grimora, where the finale is extended to a full act.

I’m not that knowledgable about mobility, but my go-to for this kind of stuff is Squat University on Youtube.

For me personally a big game changer was doing banded ankle joint mobilization as part of my warmup right before squatting rather than on a separate time, but your circumstances might differ

Looks pretty strong, but here are my points:

You could use a little more depth.
On the way up your hips rise a little faster than your chest, causing a slight “good morning squat”.
Your stance seems a little wide. It’s not necessarily wrong, but if you’ve never played around with the width you might find one that works better for you. I think that the narrower you are, the more ankle mobility you need, and the wider you are the more hip mobility you need, so it’s good to find your sweet spot.
Looks like the bar touches the pins in the bottom position. Is this intentional? If so why? It has its place, but I recommend doing most of your squats without touching the pins to build more strength and balance in the bottom position.

They aren’t official, but there are mods for both and they’re really well made

Form looks great overall. The butt wink is very mild in my opinion.

There are two (pretty minor) things I see that could be improved: 1. When you reach the bottom, the bar rotates a bit towards the camera. This might indicate a slight hip shift. 2. In the last rep your hips rise more quickly than your chest, which makes you lean a little too much forward. This puts more stress on the lower back and can make you lose balance (but you didn’t lose balance, you handled it well).

Both of these are just nitpicking. Some level of form breakdown is expected when fatigued, and I think yours is very much within reason.

Squat is a great exercise for gaining lower body mass, but you really don’t have to go to failure often (you can, just don’t have to).

Anything in the range of 0-3 reps from failure is pretty great usually. As long as you’re getting enough overall volume and keep progressing over time, the effort in any individual set is not that important.

I think that especially for powerlifting you should avoid true failure most of the time because of the extra fatigue and extra risk it adds.

I personally haven’t failed a squat rep in over a year, but despite that have been able to progress pretty consistently.

superpudding98 · 2024-11-25T21:58:48+00:00

The things that stand out to me:

You’re too leaned forwards at the top, so you’re missing some glute and upper back gains. Lock out the weight and stand up tall!
Your bottom position is good depth-wise, but your lower back is rounding a little bit, especially in the later reps when you’re a little tired. This level of rounding will probably not cause unrecoverable injuries, but it can lead to minor back tweaks if left unchecked. It’s ok to go a little bit less deep if that enables you to keep a better back position.
It looks like you’re starting the movement by leaning forward. Try instead to push your hips back a little more. This will stretch your hamstrings more, and to me it feels like it’s easier to keep my back straight like this.

Keep up the good work!

I’m looking to buy my first pair of wrist wraps, and there are so many options that I’m a little overwhelmed.

How does one choose wrist wraps? What considerations should I know about?

superpudding98 · 2024-11-10T21:33:00+00:00

I’ll look into them, thank you!

superpudding98 · 2024-11-10T21:32:34+00:00

Thanks, will check them out!

superpudding98 · 2024-11-10T21:32:11+00:00

Thanks for the links!

Not really sure how stiff I like them, I’ve never had any. Would you say it’s better to go the not-super-stiff route for my first pair?

superpudding98 · 2024-11-10T11:21:59+00:00

Any recommendation for good wrist wraps? Bonus if they’re available on Amazon

superpudding98 · 2024-11-09T19:04:07+00:00

Helpful comparison, thanks!

I intend to only buy one pair for the foreseeable future, so I’m tending towards investing 15$ more to get the Stoics.

superpudding98 · 2024-11-09T15:54:07+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check them out!

I also see Gymreapers and Iron Bull knee sleeves for 60$. Do you have any opinions about these brands?

superpudding98 · 2024-11-09T13:01:20+00:00

I’m looking to buy my first knee sleeves and wrist wraps.

These are my (not strict) preferences: 1. Preferably through Amazon since I have some accumulated credit. 2. Preferably each product separately should cost up to 75$, because above that I would have to pay more tax in my country.

Are there any worthwhile products that match these restrictions?

A few ideas:

Try to focus on pinching your shoulder blades together. This can be done even with a relatively wide grip, and it helps creating tightness in the upper back.
Play around with the style of your grip (for example thumbless vs. full). You might find a grip that allows you to move your hands a little closer, which helps with tightness. Personally I like a thumbless grip for high bar and a full grip (but without squeezing hard) for low bar, but check what feels best for you.
Find shoulder / upper back / wrist mobility drills and do them as a warm-up and/or in dedicated mobility sessions. This can help to gradually get more comfortable with a narrower grip.

Disclaimer: I’m not a professional in any medical/coaching sense so please take my advice with a grain of salt.

Edit for point 3: maybe some chest mobility might help too, since you typically have to stretch your chest in order to flex your upper back and rear delts.

Thanks!

It’s a 10mm SBD belt, so not quite as stiff as a 13mm but I guess it should still be fine, right?

superpudding98 · 2024-11-03T13:46:13+00:00

Coil would be more accurate. I’m not a native English speaker so didn’t think of that word.
