Leg press would mess with your ankle too i'd think. Best bet is to look up what people did with a similar injury. I'd think leg curls + leg extension is your upper leg, i dunno about calves

get creative with cables. You know all those meme exercises you see those instagram girls doing with cables? They are actually pretty good if you use a decent amount of weight and do them like you would cables flies. By that I mean get a really really deep full and slow stretch to tear the muscle.

I injured my back a few years back and haven't squatted or deadlifted since then. My legs are the bigger and more developed than they ever have been. Although I incorporate leg press, for awhile I did a lot of cable work, kick backs, glute ham raise, and wall L sits.

Don't listen to people that tell you about "muh functional strength" either. After doing this for about 2 years, I felt like my back was feeling better for a few months ago I tried deadlifting again. By the second workout I outdid my old PR by 30 pounds back when I was really pushing hard to progress. So I incorporated squats again, same shit. My third workout I was doing sets of 10 with 225 and I literally felt NO strain on my legs, like it was baby weight. The problem was that I felt nervous about my back and it felt "off". I decided it was pointless to risk it and went back to my safe routine.

point is, ego lifting is retarded and while squats and deadlifts are great exercises it isn't the only way to develop your strength.

And to anyone who's going to shit talk my form for fucking up my back, I have scoliosis and it was compounded by getting abused in the military

>>37455551
This, my back got ducked up from the military and I hardly do deadlifts or squats anymore on the off chance that something REALLY fucks up

Why has the blonde on the right got no tits?

what's this gay fight club parody?

1 week away from hitting my 4 year mark

>What's kept you going all this time?

Pure unadulterated autism. My gains are pretty pathetic for time spent compared to other people, but I look infinitely better than when I first started, so I guess that's the reason I wont stop. I'd rather look like 15% shit, instead of 100% shit.

>>37455075
About 6 years. I'm scared of stopping
as I don't want to lose any gains. That said my routine is now a lot different to when I first started. It's less time consuming and focuses on a compound and an isolation for each body part.

>say nothing, unbuckle my belt, lift my shirt and tell them to look in the rearview
>they hesitate to look but say "omg" and keep staring at my 8 pack
>makeout with them later that night

I want it back.

Why do so many people hate those?
I fucking love them and they're my strongest lift.

Dumbbell rows or power cleans

Do dumbbell rows and face pulls

Do so many face pulls. Even if you don't change anything else, add face pulls.

>>37455029
Maybe I do them wrong? I don't know...

I don't like the bend over position, feels weird.

Insomnia ridden as wel, would also like to know

i escape this misery by smoking weed. rolling one 2 hours before bedtime, play little bit vidya and go to sleep, waking up the other day completely rested.
>inb4 smoking weed kills your gains
i already achieved my desired mode. just hitting the gym like once a week and i am golden.

>>37455045
I'm an introvert with no friends and little funds, not really an option.

intermittent fasting is the only answer

go on walks, don't drink anything but water/unsweetened coffee or tea
count your calories

or you could start smoking shard, that shit'll slim you down in no time

>>37454802
Literally just count calories you fat piece of shit
Don't want to? OK
If it has sugar in it, don't eat it
If it's mostly carbs (pasta, bread, etc) dont eat it
If you're hungry, good, means you're losing weight

Now read the sticky or get the fuck out

>Do you think they still take small amounts of steroids to keep up their testosterone levels?

Also, this is different from arm curling a weight you're capable of lifting and just holding it in place because you choose to. The weight stays at 90 degrees during your curl while you push as hard as you can not because you're purposely keeping it stationary

>>37454753
I have no idea what you mean.

>>37454965
Like this. At the 90 degree mark of the curl is the most difficult. If the arm drops then the angle is over 90 degrees

>>37454663

Yes

>>37454673
but how much.

Like am i better off doing something else for 10min

(apart from going to the goym)

Jog.

maybe consider lifting

>>37454556
I do boxing, should I additionally lift?

>>37454571
you look like you dont do shit so yes

>>37454469
What does it matter? Do you think the structure of your spreadsheet correlates to better gains or what? You just include the bare mininum that you want to track.

>>37454484
Because I'm gonna be on this program for at least a few months, and I'd like to be able to look at my progress by the end of it.

Besides, excel is crazy powerful, and a lot of people on /fit/ use it for this exact reason. I wanna see what I can learn.

>>37454502

Yeah, but you're asking for the "best" way to track progress when it's really just a matter of writing down your lifts every day. How autistic are you? Just make a date column, exercise column, sets/reps column and a weight column. BAM, you're done. If you're doing the exact same exercises every workout you write them only once, vertically for example.

funny how the meme dieters only post in threads that support their beliefs

>>37454258
IMO a lot of normie's success from keto is simply due to a deficit, not any extra fat burning properties the diet entails. A lot of keto goers are sugar addicts. When they get that hit of dopamine when a sweet hits their lips, they have a very hard time controlling themselves. The keto diet never lets them have that, and so it's easy to stay on a deficit. Just look on r/keto and r/loseit how many keto goers "binge" after just a tiny relapse of the prescribed diet.

Fad diet? Sort of. More of an addiction tool IMHO

Can the body really function without carbs?

What happens if you do a carbs/proteins only diet?
