Knee pain from vibration

[Corey]

I'll take a guess:

If you hurt at 10 minutes, plan to go for a 7-minute walk (or whatever you can handle) each day for this week and next....

I believe this is a holdover from the previous association with Starting Strength.

"Press" = Overhead Press.
"Bench"...

I love overnight oats! After dinner, I mix 1 cup of dry oats, chocolate whey protein, and instant coffee. Add water, stir, put in fridge. They're ready...

I also use dumbbell handles for 2" olympic weights. They're ok. The shaft protruding means you need to be a little careful not to hit your body...

A follow-up question: What actually happens in the 'pop' that we detect? I know it doesn't matter as there's nothing you can do about it other than training...

Dhruv, thanks for the kind words! It's been a passion of mine for the past 30+ years. Being utterly exhausted in the mountains led me to strength training,...

[Corey]

Is there any way to train to reduce knee aches from vibrations/shocks?

BBM's focus is on training our body to take large loads through the...

FYI: This appears to have been a good approach. My hand fatigue has dissipated, now I'm starting to taper out the strap usage....

[Corey]

FYI: The backfire effect has recently been disproven. Paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....act_id=2819073 and a podcast if that's your...

[Corey]

More of a question than a comment: Would it be wise to include back squats at a lower weight specifically because it stresses the back? That workload...

[Corey]

Hi Michael,

No previous occurrence of this, no joint swelling. I believe I just ramped up the stress too quickly for my hands to adapt....
