[quote=squat250]thanks for the russkie tips. im on a pretty simple program for the moment. just keep squatting as hard as i can so i get to 250 and don’t have to eat the alpo, and overhead press weight until I get to bodyweight. other than that i take a break with some pullups, my hex bar, and various ironmind grippers. when i can squat 250 maybe i’ll switch to something more programmed. for now, im just trying to power my way up there by sheer will. i ahven’t thrown up yet but ive gotten close a few times.
its my general feeling that with the correct attitude, big effort and intense focus, a lot of programs would work.[/quote]
Scaredy: Are you properly bracing your knees whilst powerlifting? You should exercise proper care to make certain you are, as these type of injuries are horrific.
There are some excellent side stabilized braces geared to powerlifters. Blowing a knee is no bueno.
