Nice! What cheesepuff said is true. You want to go enough to send good blood flow to feed it nutrients to recover faster. You don’t want to push it too hard where it further damages it. Trust me... I spent many nights with tears in my eyes when I injured my shoulder. Which was the worse, which wouldn’t be that bad had I not taken any challenges from my friends doing 1 arm push-ups while it was already injured... something snapped like an elastic band and felt go across my front delt into my chest. Now it’s always clicking. And I have to let it click into place before a lift otherwise there will be pain. Biggest regret.

Cheesegobbler84 you think the depth was ok? I feel like it wasn't deep enough. I've backed off so much on my activity it's been killing me mentally. not running at the spartan or tough mudder was tough but I haven't ran at all other than on the special treadmill and running is the only thing that still. bothers me thankfully

Otb I hope you get that mental peace. The only thing that’s setting you back is your mind. You are fine but don’t push it too hard just to help your mind because it won’t help your muscles. You could re-injure and damage something almost beyond repair. I work out for the mental clarity as well but injuries are worse on us mentally believe me I’ve been there. Take care of your body buddy OK. You better listen, you don’t want this mama bear coming after you because I’ll be the most savage bear you’ve ever seen! 🤣🤣🤣🐻😝

Supergainz1 yikes that's messed up.eitj the shoulder. so what's ypir expert opinion on thw squat depth? I started the squats back up at 75 lbs for the first session than up to 95 then 115 135 185. today was the first time above 200. at least with this injury there's no tear the ligaments just tight because of a muscle imbalance in the one leg. I'm doing all the stretches and exercises to try and help that and its working I've been doing lots of unilateral leg exercises split squats , single leg rdls , reverse lunges, and step ups. I just wasn't doing any regular squats. I had also cut my walking drastically down but I'm back to normal on that but I have cut out all biking and running because it's just too much repetitive irritation for now.

So im just going to compliment you on your big signs. I actually took a pic of the nobody cares sign and sent to my trainer. Think she will completely appreciate the sentiment. Hubs laughed and said exactly!!! Like everyone else on here, dont make a recovering injury worsen by pushing too soon. Gotta stay strong for those little tiny monsters you created and pull around

wifey9707 thanks I heard the momma bears north of the border are extra savage so I promise to take it easier. at least now I can stop looking in the mirror telling myself my legs are shrinking. but really the mental clarity happens eveytime I go to pt and can run on that special treadmill and not feel like I'm broken goods

Cheesegobbler84 I love squat university !! I think he is the most Informative fitness "influencer" on YouTube his info is great. Honestly squats are one exercise that I almost never get the urge to go for a 1 rep max or close to it I haven't tried this heavy since mid December. I prefer lower weight and going as deep as possible for the full stretch. I have safety Bars so I can fail without a spotter pretty easily

My goal is to be able to run my 10k spartan at the end of July but even then if I'm not ready to do that I will wall it again and push that goal back to running in my 2 September ones. I wnat to be more competitive with them next year even at the one in the end of April when I walked it at a fast pace but no running at all I placed 131 out of almost 2000 people. I can only imagine how I would have placed had I been able to run. Blowing through the obstacles wasn't bad at all with all the training I did for them.

Otb you said you’ve lost gained and lost i think..what starts the unhealthy gain when that happens?

Yearofhealth2023 I've never maintained weight ever In My life prior to now. My activity level always played a huge role in my weight loss or gain mostly biking, kayaking , and hiking In The past. But as far as the 2 times I really dieted prior to this I was doing super restrictive diets dropping 85 lbs once 50 another only to go back to eating whatever I wanted again and never learning what fuel my body wanted or the calories in foods. Now that I know that info only I can screw it up at this point by failing myself I have all the tools at my disposal and have cracked my body's code as far as what levels of macros it loves to work on.

I think the depth is good otb. Really you could only go lower an inch more or 2 maybe. Not a big difference. I think what matters more is effective squat motion. Like keeping your upper body still and dropping straight down, the same going upwards you want you keep your upper as still as possible and drive your hips up from under. I see a lot of people would go back up ass first cuz that takes the load off the legs then they kinda do like a half good morning upwards. While that will net you the most weight but it shifts the load onto your back.

I think I missed one of your updates. what has happened? are you doing ok? :o it sounds like things are improving though 😬

Lol I think so too! Mainly it’s cuz I hate it.... but I don’t slack on any movement so I’ll be like almost dying by the end of it. Bracing is very important on squats. Good thing you’re aware of that. Gives you good stability and saves your lower back. I end my squats with partials after the final rep till I could barely walk back to rack it then I hate myself for doing it, but the payback is nice 😂
