Squats trump all of the upper body strength training exercises.Fenderbender123 said:My gym is starting to get crowded and it's irritating. For the first 7 years I was a member, I could go in anytime before 7am or anytime after 8pm and there would be maybe one other person in there, if that. Now there's like 20 people in there all the time. Not sure if everyone is suddenly on a kick to lose the COVID weight, but like I said it's irritating.
Still better than going in around 4 or 5pm. That's when all the high school and college guys swarm the place. They're loud. They're always crowding around each other and talking, making it hard to get through. They're often on their phone while sitting at a machine or bench while other people are waiting. fuck those guys. Get out of my gym.
I have noticed a lot of dudes that only workout their upper body, too. They look silly having arms bigger than their thighs, but to each their own I guess. I spend 2x as much time working on my lower body than I do upper, because I'm smart.
TL:DR I just wanted to brag that I go to the gym. -
I skied some thick and sticky, off-piste spring snow back on April 30 and my left knee feels a little gimpy ever since. Taking a squat break to heal.TurdBomber said:

Blew mine out as a HS Frosh. Never surgically repaired, but re-injured as a HS Sr which kinda fucked my wrestling career. Ever since, I biked, ran and skied a lot of black diamond runs without incident, by staying on my inside edges at all times. Turns out that ACL thingy isn't as important as people think. The meniscus, however, can hurt like a mother-fucker after a lot of use.YellowSnow said:

Thank God for Rum and Bourbon treatments. -
I screwed up my lateral meniscus on my right knee when I first hit the road (5th day out) and then this past November it really started getting bad. Went out about 4-5 times. Finally got an MR right knee. I have an appointment on the 23rd to review the MRI - not looking good for Lebamdawg as far as knees go.
This is the analyses
IMPRESSION:
1. Bucket-handle/flipped lateral meniscus.
2. Knee osteoarthritis.
3. Grade IV chondromalacia involving the lateral tibiofemoral compartment.
4. Grade III chondromalacia involving the medial tibiofemoral compartment.
5. ACL degeneration sequela from remote partial tearing
6. Small joint effusion.
Number 3 suggests I kneed a replacement. Got the MRI in San Antonio and will get surgery up in Centralia this July if that is what I kneed. The doctor in San Antonio wanted to do it in February but I was leaving Dodge. Won't be anywhere to get it done until July.
The entire process I have used as an excuse to increase my alcohol consumption.
No exercise or long walks to gain perspective for me.
