Legs are definitely a strong point for you. Also did Klokov ever give a reason for that in his interview? I am interested in recovery methods, and would certainly go through some suffering so I have to go through less pain (let’s be honest I’ll just up my volume/frequency/intensity if I had more recovery).
Also it seems like we have to form the disproportional legs club. Oly lifting is doing the same to me, except I was really top heavy coming in.
Mental toughness apparently. It was something his dad made him do from a young age, I’m not sure if he still does it though.
I’m not that disproportionate, at least I can still wear the 501s and 514s for Levi’s jeans. Saw you asking bout them in your training log but I’ve no input on them haha. And since we’re talking bout legs, here’s a shameless plug to my instagram…
This is actually only my second time using wraps, the first time was maybe a year ago and I absolutely hated it back then. The previous time, a friend wrapped my knees for me and did it wayyyy too tight. Wrapped it myself this time and it’s a lot better though a lil annoying.
I might be competing in a comp with an axle bar squat in it in a month’s time and what @T3hPwnisher said.
I’m trying haha! Believe it or not, it’s harder than it looks. My knees just naturally come in a lil when I’m going up on the squat.
Are you able to get your hands on a bunch of minced beef and cook it? If you got something like five kilos and simply fried it and then mixed it with plain rice and some carrot or something you could get a good seven days worth of meals out of that.
It’s not so much the lack of access but rather the lack of effort I’m putting in, to be frank. That and I’ve literally 0 appetite now that I’m barely training since I’m on my deload phase. Things will be back on track next week since I’m coming back into some decent training.
