Tip of the day!

[fitnesstrainer]

Old one got in trouble so here's the new thread. Anybody who has a useful tidbit or tip can post.

Pink himalayan sea salt is a great electrolyte and chalked full of performance enhancing minerals.

[Hoggage_54]

Thank you for the information!

Tri Tip is fvcking delicious

[fitnesstrainer]

During the squat the knees should never travel more than halfway between the ankle and toes. Ideally your knee should remain in line with your ankle, your shin perpendicular to the floor, throughout the entire movement.

I looked through chili pepper and cinamon regarding insulin sensitivity , looks like you were right to a certain extent according to examine.com .. But still more studies needed to confirm..

And yes, the girls sucking on the other thread were so cool
Lol

Honestly just about anything you can find both sides that say it bogus or its true. Hell there's still people claiming Creatine is bad for you.

Agreed. There are many immature people here in the lounge. It is hard for me to keep them in line.

This is incorrect. It depends on one's anthropometry. If you have long femurs and short tibias then your knees will have to travel in front of the toes to maintain proper hip and back angle

Puts undue stress on the knee. The individual who taught me this was very much a subject matter expert. If the heels have to come up to do it proper than they should but the toes should not go forward so much. It takes the hamstring out of the movement and forces the individual to gain leverage off the knee.

[zempey]

In a perfect world the knees would stay in line with the ankles, try that at my height and see how you fare. As a general rule you want that ankle knee alignment, but not everyone has the ideal body proportions. At some point physics and geometry take over and the end result doesn't always fit the norm.

If the heels have to come up to do it proper than they should but the toes should not go forward so much. It takes the hamstring out of the movement and forces the individual to gain leverage off the knee.

Again this is incorrect. The heels should NEVER come off the ground at any point during a properly executed squat. If this is what you were told then the person is not an expert on the subject matter. You cannot state the hamstrings are taken out of the movement with toes being forward without also talking about hip position and back angle. The hamstrings attach proximally at the pelvis and distally at the knee. To get the most work out of the hamstrings you want a relatively more horizontal back angle and more open knee angle since the distance between the proximal and distal attachment points in this situation would be the greatest thus increasing the length of the hamstring. Hip angle is formed between the angle of the upper torso and the femurs. Knee angle is formed by the tibia and femur. So once again, depending on your specific torso dimensions, ie anthropometry, with long femurs and short tibias the knees will have to track in front of the toes a bit to maintain an optimal knee angle.

Not off the ground. But putting a plate underneath your heels or investing in the right shoes. Either way I don't really wanna argue about it.

[Docd187123]

You made the original claim, I did not. I'm simply pointing out inconsistencies.

Ironic you mention putting something under your heels to help since doing so tilts shins more forward by lifting the ankle. This in turn pushes the knees more forward, something you began arguing against in the first place, while not stretching the ankle joint. By doing this the new shin angle closes the knee angle which in turn causes the distal attachment point of the hamstring, at the tibia, to move closer to the attachment point in the pelvis. What this causes is an artificial shortening of the hamstring muscle, meaning it leaves less work for the hamstring to do, which is another thing you were arguing against before.

I'm not against weightlifting shoes, I use a pair of Adidas Powerlift 2.0 myself with a 5/8in heel. But I also realize how this in turn effects my squats and other lifts. Good weightlifting shoes are a good idea. A plate or block is not. Even though they accomplish one thing in almost the same fashion, a weightlifting shoe has other benefits while a plate or block does not.

I had a pair of original Tom Platz squat shoes. They were the shit. I cannot find them for the life of me now. Either buried in my basement, lost in a move or I threw them out (which I refuse to believe.) Going to look into the Adidas Powerlift 2.0......

[tarmyg]

I do squats in socks only I must admit even though I have a pair of inov-8 BARE-XF 210 which have 0 drop. Just feels like I got better form which I also see in videos of myself.

Vitamins and minerals can work synergistically when taken together. Vitamin C often times can aid the absorption of other vitamins or minerals.

If you have the money I highly recommend the Adidas Adipowers or Ristos. With the Ristos there is little ventilation though inside the shoe but still know a few who swear by them.

Will do. It always amazed me how much more stable you feel when wearing them squatting. It improves you both mentally and physically.

Adding Apple cider vinegar to some lemonade makes it taste pretty good and Apple cider vinegar has a ton of health benefits, from helping to balance PH in the body to improving insulin sensitivity.

[zempey]

I use apple cider vinegar with mother, supposed to be much better than the regular.

Tip... Straighten your arms lock your elbows and drive down with your shoulders stay on the balls off your feet this will allow you to put 35% of your body weight on your objective

[PistolPete33]

Simply asking your wife or gf for a blowjob during the day will yield an 80% increase in BJ's. I used to never get them until I simply started asking. Now, I'm getting them all the time. Now, I also make sure the dishes are done and the kitchen is clean and I'm at 100% with her saying yes.

Best advice right there.....
