i ordered a pair of 2011 Rogue do-wins in a size 9 but i need a size 9.5. so pissed.
this was like 3 years ago. been too lazy to send them back, and i can't find anybody to buy them off of me. even offered them last month to my friend for free and he declined! wtf? they dont stink of anything, they're brand new. never wore them.
wondering if i should order a 9.5 now, but dammit that money.

Not only that but you probably didn't do your warm up sets properly to hit 315x2.

« on: March 13, 2013, 12:06:20 am »that top set is just there so when you do your backoffs, everything is already firing nicely.
^^^^^
This is why I always work up to ~90% x 1 if I'm doing 5 rep work or lighter.

i mean hey that looks awesome! but really just a standard table would suffice. doesn't even have to show lines or anything... as long as the text can be lined up.
well that would suffice for me, perhaps the other members could make great use of an actual chart like you posted

« on: February 27, 2013, 12:51:48 pm »From what I know "stretching the IT band" is just a myth, since it's too dense to be stretched at all.
interested. foam rolling definitely helps it though. i never tried to stretch it, it felt weird doing it. maybe it was cuz its so dense?

« on: February 23, 2013, 02:13:01 pm »I didn't do It band rolling, but I don't think I need this. my exercises helped me to built enaugh strength to no feel pain. Even when I feel a little bit I'm using knee strap and bodyweight squats with the ball between the legs with thera-band exercise and normal lunges and with using unstable ground help me reduce small pain
I red a lot and many people said that this it band stretch did help them so this looks interesting. But as I said- don't need this but thanks for tips
How do you know you don't need it? Your knee pain may be caused by more than just weak VMO's, as was the case for me. Just test it out -- foam roll and stretch the IT bands for one day. If your knee feels better after it, then you know your pain may ALSO be caused (to some extent) by tight/overactive IT bands.

If anyone remembers, I had knee tendonitis for months and months straight. I tried many different stretches and exercises, but in the end, NOTHING helped more than simply foam rolling the IT bands, and then activating my VMO's, then ATG squatting. After squat sessions I would remember both my VMO's being very sore. Now the soreness is gone as they are used to the stress, but they will grow as my squat grows.
I haven't read this entire thread, but maverickdawid, have you tried foam rolling your IT bands? Do about 4 sets of 10 slow rolls back and forth and see how it feels. After that I would activate my VMO's and then do my workout or go play basketball.
Also, the best VMO activation I found was doing single leg knee extensions, but only the negatives. You REALLY gotta load it... bring up the bar with two feet, then drop one of your feet, and lower it slowly with the other foot. I have read that activation works better when doing heavy negatives and I tried it out. Ended up working for me.
