![[image loading]](http://www.ivanhoecycles.com.au/images/uploads/clothing/longs/longs2xu_compression_w2.jpg) But I still either wear some light track suit pants or very short running shorts over the top. To be honest I haven't used them in quite a while but I remember them being great for squats and deadlifts as it feels like it is keeping all your muscles tight. Great for cycling too. | ||

I've walked like this my whole life, tried physio and whatnot, and basically been told that I'd need to get my ankles broken and re-set to fix it. Have you ever encountered/heard of anything like this? I always get told that my *insert muscle here* is overtight and causing my feet to turn out, but doing the stretches and whatever prescribed over years haven't changed much of anything. My hip flexors are tight and I'm working to improve that, as well as 'opening up' my hips more at the bottom of squats so I can sit lower. My brother has this as well, I think the term is knock knees? We're both more beginner than anyone though, so no help here, lol. I'm interested in an answer for this as well though. He's always been worried about it and it would be nice to know how common it is / if any corrections or changes should be made to the exercises (particularly squats) because of it. | ||

My hip flexors are tight and I'm working to improve that, as well as 'opening up' my hips more at the bottom of squats so I can sit lower. Is this because of your ankles pointing out (e.g. your feet are very flat) or because you have valgus knees/knock knees or very tight hips, or what? There may be a lot of different factors involved, but obviously keep them over your feet as much as possible... or at least in a straight line where they don't collapse in. Knees collapsing in is one of the worst movement patterns you can teach yourself. | ||

No idea how much I bench, probably no less than 80kg. Don't think I ever did any other exercise besides like dumbbells ( I think I can still do 40 pound ones 10-15x each 3 sets, but I fell like they are a bit heavy) | ||

I believe Rip says 15+ before adding weight but I started adding weight at 7~8 (165 BW). Now at 170-175lb BW, I can do BW+20x3x5 but can only do 12 BW chin-ups in one go so take it for what it's worth. | ||

Don't think I ever did any other exercise besides like dumbbells ( I think I can still do 40 pound ones 10-15x each 3 sets, but I fell like they are a bit heavy) I'd say that lifting is at least as difficult as any other sport out there. It's also intensely personal - in basketball, you can get better by learning to work with your team. In lifting, if you aren't improving it's 100% because of what YOU are or are not doing. I'm the same size as you (6'3 175ish) and I'll tell you that while you CAN gain weight, it's a disgusting amount of food for guys our size. 3500 calories a day to put on weight, at least 3000 just to maintain it. Milk is your best friend - and you'll really be stuffing yourself every meal even then. It's why I couldn't stick with leangains - I'm actually not capable of eating 2k calories in one sitting no matter the source, it was painful to attempt. Amazing cutting program, TERRIBLE bulking program. | ||
