I believe he actually has issues with his knees ie cartilage or something. No idea though.

Those are excuses for not trying hard enough, they are not limitations![]()

I may review my goals at the end of the year and see where i want to be heading.
I call them limitations as they are sacrifices i have to make as far as my training is concerned to keep my life balance in reasonable order. Consider them speed limits if you will.
There are somethings in life i put before my training, two of which are my wife and my daughter, so a couple of mornings a week i like to see my kid before she goes to school, help her get dressed and sort her breakfast etc, and i made a promise to my wife that most of the time i would be home after work in the evening (ie not going to the gym and training), again to spend the time with my daughter before bed.
everyones personal circumstances are different and i dont except everyone to think that the above is fair, but it is a worthwhile "excuse" to have certain limitations.
Yes I have REAL issues with my knees.
Ruptured my ACL in my left leg about 6 years ago, and surgeon has put graft in 'non optimal position' leaving me with wonky knee and I have early onset artheritus in my right knee, due to cartilidge damage underneath the knee cap.
So I'm getting it it from all directions.
So give me a break, im working with in my limitations.
Things which are a big no no, according to doctor, is running and squats.
The greater muscle activity and knee forces in the squat compared with the LPL and LPH implies the squat may be more effective in muscle development but should be used cautiously in those with PCL and PF disorders, especially at greater knee flexion angles. Because all forces increased with knee flexion, training within the functional 0-50 degrees range may be efficacious for those whose goal is to minimize knee forces. The lack of ACL forces implies that all exercises may be effective during ACL rehabilitation.
My gripe was with Delvis posting something with authority then saying he had no idea, not with what he was actually saying![]()
Diet?
On the flip side, another reason why doctors should occasionally be haddock-slapped...
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11528346
No ACL forced detected when squatting or during leg press.for doctors.
DO BEAR IN MIND, however, that squatting should ALWAYS be done under supervision for noobs, and with good coaching on form because if not, it can be pretty hard on the knees if done badly.
I would strongly suggest going to a proper strength/conditioning coach for help with this as they will get you sorted from both a dietary and workout perspective. They will be able to help you with your movements and limitations and get you working properly.![]()
3 sessions a week at 90 mins a go and not wanting to put any more fat on are not reasons to not lift heavier.
You don't need to be fatter to lift more. A lot of the strongest people on this forum arent fat.
You don't need to be in the gym every day to get stronger either.
Trust me, the excuses you are giving are not something that should be stopping you lifting heavier, if that is what you wished![]()
Maybe its time to stop messing about trying to look good and get back to lifting again...
Well you could matey, just depends entirely on whether or not you want to my strength based or aesthetics based.
Naturally if you go via the strength route you'll get their quicker as you already knowyou can however train with strength in mind and get a good physique out of it, as LiE has and does.
These posts are exactly what ensure the word Delvis keeps getting used as a verb. You just reiterated sylas own thoughts in a waffling manner as though it's something new :x![]()
