Stopped by to commend you on your stylin' avatar. :D

Glad to hear the knee is coming around. There's a lot of ROM between ATG and sub-parallel squats. I haven't looked at an anatomy text in a long time, but I can't envision a fundamental change within the joint between 100 and 80 degrees. Going ATG certainly cranks the joint into a relatively extreme position, and I can see how that might be hard on the cartilage. You may find that as the musculature strengthens that you can comfortably squat sub-parallel as Rip Rx's (and a Dynamax is probably below parallel for you, so maybe it's just a matter of confusion of terms here).

And a belated Happy Birthday to you.

Thanks on the B-day wishes, Patrick! I also appreciate your analysis(?) on the ATG vs parallel squats. Actually, ATG feels really good to me. I don't notice any difference in how my knees (either and/or both) feel when I go ATG as opposed to just parallel/90 deg. I can basically sit with my hammies on my calves; this places my rear about 6 inches above the ground, where a D-max ball equates to between 12 to 14 (depending on how hard I squish it). You are correct; the D-max ball places me well below parallel (probably about 105 to 110 deg), so I'm good there.

Take care - - thanks again!

Stephen....10 floggings for your nutrition on Saturday :mad: and a few more floggings for your nutrition on Sunday :mad:

:) No biggie, just trying to encourage you to get back on track. I'd get some floggings for what I ate last Wednesday. Wednesday was a bad day for me in the nutrition department! :D

Thanks, Nancy. Keep up the floggings.....er....encouragement!

Doing soooooo much better today!

Re: The Bassman's Log (Steve Lampl)
 

Ok, Steve, I'm jumpin on in here too to cheer you on until you get your diet dialed in. You can do it brother! I can say from experience that letting the diet go and trying to keep CF'ing is a slippery slope. I, for one, tire easily, get down easily, and simply don't want to be in the gym when I let all that crack slip back into the diet. I'm not talking about a cheat meal, or even a cheat day, but when it's 3, 4, 5 or more days and I realize I've let the crack slip back in, that's when I really suffer and I have to just SNAP back into the game and not even think about "weening" or "babysteps".

Here's my secret...and I have a whole house of people too.... if we don't buy it at the grocery, then I can't eat it when I'm tempted. The crack is just not in the pantry.

Yep, that's my secret too. Keep the crack out of the house. :)
