[LOU FERRIGNO JUNIOUR]

[zedhed]

[LOU FERRIGNO JUNIOUR]

okay thanks zedhed, can you help me change this routine around a little and still focusing on mass gains

so heres my routine

WORKOUT A:

SQUATS
BENCH
DEADLIFTS

WORKOUT B :

SQUATS
OH PRESSES
BARBELL ROWS


i do this 3 times a week alternating the workouts, i think i dont need to squat 3 times a week so how should i flip this around?

study up on squatting, lighten up the load for a week just for practice and to let your knee heal then slowly add weight each time to catch up.

Here's what Glenn Pendlay says about it:

so he says its not a stoned layout i need to follow.

what is suitable for my needs tho, i mean squatting is hurting my knees part of that is probably form and heavy weights another could be to frequent training them. should i go back to hypertrophy style or stay on strength i can still gain strength on hypertrophy ans still add weight , i dont man this is confusing me more and more /??

you should pick one ave. and stick to it for a while. your problem with squats if form only. fix that and you will be ready to go.

my knees also have been making a popping sound on the first rep or 2

i might stop ripptoes now or use lighter weights, when i use to do squats once a week i use to hit 6 sets of 8 reps the hypertrophy style , i never ever had a single knee problem my quads use to be sore a little but not my knees now its the other way around.

zedhed do you think you can recomend me an alternative or is squatting 3 times a week for building mass a staple. i honestly think my knees are not capable for 3 times

come on bro. take a squat out and do leg press, or hack squats, or walking lunges.

Shit man, figure it out. You told us you weren't a noob at this, that you had 2-3 years of experience. What other exercises have you done? I'd say extensions, but those can be even worse for your knees. Maybe just take them out one time a week and don't do anything in their place.

I suspect your technique is off. Why don't you put up a video of it? Have you read anything about squatting from big squatters? Go look at some stuff by Rippetoe, or look on EliteFTS. See what those guys say about squat form.
