Quick question: did the squats feel good, move well?

Ye they felt grand. Last couple of reps on the last set were a push but overall good. I just thought the extra dept I was getting in the front squats was working something extra in my hamstrings

It won't have been down to front squats. The load being in front means the hamstrings will be less taut so you can get more depth.

Adductors make more sense and it's not unusual, especially with higher volume.

Yeah
I'm just curious - MFP has 2500mg as my recommended daily amount. Some days I go as low as 300mg and today is still less than half even though I had salty crisps
So I was wondering where that number comes from and if there is a too low

Is that salt or sodium?
In the free version of the MFP app that I have, it's sodium that you enter, not salt. So 2,500mg of sodium is 6,348mg of salt.

That's sodium, sorry for being unclear. 2,300mg sodium is the "goal" in the app and other figures I mentioned are sodium also.

If you have an health issue that benefits from reduced salt (like high blood pressure). Then going low is probably best sub 2000mg or even 1500.
But if you are healthy, then there's probably no need to restrict it. 2500mg is prob fine. I add salt when cooking all the time.

Be wary of taking the MFP number as concrete.
It's been a while since I used the app, but when I was a lot of foods only had info for calories and PFC. If data was missing it was counted as 0mg. So if the sodium was missing, your daily total would under report.

It's very hard to get any of the health bodies to recommend an optimal sodium intake. But I'd guess that 300mg or anything close to 0 is sub-optimal.
I've done zero sodium (or as close as I could) for a week and it was awful.

Just to echo what Mellor has said.
I've been using MFP for a few years now and from my experience for foods that are that in their database, it's most likely the sodium values are either just left blank (i.e. 0mg) or else the value for salt has been entered instead. So I'd be very mindful if you are tracking your sodium/salt intake.

Salt tastes good in food for a reason.

Article here from a controversial Scottish doctor which is worth a read ( I love the chloride angle)

https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2014/05/13/salt-is-good-for-you/

If you eat a diet based primarily of wholefoods it's pretty difficult to overconsume salt; that's with liberal sprinkling in kitchen

I knew Danny Lennon had something on it

Probably not the best plcr, but the search function on the app isnt my friend and couldn't find the critique my form thread.

Recently back lifting after a 6 month hiatus.

Below are the last two of five sets of triples.

How close are you to your 3rm there?

I'd say if pushing I could go to 110 maybe 115, I'm only back 3 sessions after 6 months away so haven't gotten to testing any limits yet.

Mellor

Deadlifting today, a Monday is obviously not ideal. Last Monday I pulled a triple instead of 5x.
Trying to counter mondayness with a optimal Deadlift breakfast. Suggestions?
Please no squats breakfast suggestions, that's Wednesday

Porridge and monster

Steak, eggs and a double espresso

Interesting that bluewolf went for carbs and carbs, whereas Brian went for double protein. With caffeine being the common denominator.

I had my first coffee already, another at 11am.

Just passed McDonald's in the trainstation. I asked the server abouts gainz from the sausage and egg mcmuffin. She hadn't a clue so I left.

If the bap wasn't gluten-free, you've just made a hyoooj mistake.

But gluten is da proteins.



Anyway, equaled my 5RM in bench press (it is Monday after-all). Then over to deadlifts and hit the 5 reps I'd missed twice. Not a PR, but heaviest in 6-9 months.

Beef and eggs FTW.

There's a reason you can't spell 'gluten' without 'neg'.

I was not aware of the all bran ad. Maybe he needed the roughage due to him meat intake

If he ate All Bran, he probably ate porridge. And Special K.

If your shins get a bit banged up from deadlifting or weightlifting, these motorbike socks in Aldi today are pretty good. And cheaper than you'll get Gah socks for. They're also a bit thicker on the front.

Doug Young never wore motor bike socks to deadlift.

To be fair, if he was going to wear socks, he'd probably wear motorbike socks.

Watched that last night. Eoin Murphy's squat ROM seems so short you doubt he hit depth until you replay and check.

Mr. CooL ICE

Yep. Makes it look too easy. Down and up, no bother.

I was told to but shoes on while dead lifting yesterday.

I deadlift in cheap canvas shoes from Penneys 90% of the time. They're grand for the job.

I had cheap fake cons from dunnes but they don't seem to have them any more so it's penneys ones. For comps only though

Blacktie.

I've been meaning to buy some crappy cons for deadlifting for months now! Just to keep things constant for the meet as I deadlift in my socks in the gym

Try eBay. I bought "Converse" from china and used them for years with no bother.

My current lifting shoes are Evisu espadrilles I bought in TKMaxx years ago. Mainly because I have a slight obsession with Japan.


In other news, I learned my shoes were espadrilles about 5 minutes ago.

Just googled them. Never knew that's what you called those slipper-like shoes.

Alf Veedersane

I have a pair of these that I was given. They're nice for deadlifting in but a bit of a pain in the hole to put on cos you have to loosen the laces so much to put them and tightening them back up takes an age (relatively speaking)

VW 1

I went from squatting to deadlifting while still wearing my adipowers last week, without noticing until after. They were relatively comfortable for deadlifting in.

Anyone else take that approach?
