Good. Ask a guy who ordered his first lever belt last night anything.

I lightly injured a pec straining trying to get a double prong off once upon a time even using an upright.
Twin prong belt, not really sure why it's kind of the default

Never skipped a leg day but had gotten away from squats. Basically did every other compound movement and muscle group focused movement.
Started squating again a week or two ago and realized my ankle and hip flexibility need some work to get back to my usual. 3rd leg day in with squatting, weight feeling good, and Fookin pull my upper quad (where it goes up into hip flexor) during a rep. Racked the weight right away and called it a day on squats. Just hit some hams and calves the rest of the workout. So now I’m going to be set back for a while. Fuark I hate quad injuries.

Ya that’s probably my fault. I like to just get to hitting the weights. That’s what I always did…As I get older I need a more lengthy warm up. But I hate pissing around in the gym. I’ve got to come up with a proper warm up/stretch routine for leg day.

I’m going to start hitting the bike first (or stepper). Then some high rep leg extension and leg curls, stretch, then get to the workout….once I work my way out of this pull.

Horse, if you have access to a safety squat bar, use it. Using one exclusively, or at least every third session has fixed my hip flexor issues.

How does it take tension of hip flexor/fix your hip flexor issues? Allows you to keep the weight up against your neck more? Or just feeling the control of the weight with the hands in front of you?
