    Patella Tendinopathy/ tendinitis

    I have been dealing with it for >2 years. It also depends on how long you ignored it to begin with. I foolishly completely ignored it for the initial 6 months of slight pain. Tried PRP to no success, tried physio to some success. Constant battle to keep it maintained. Also anti-inflammatories...

    ive been using a 10mm toro for awhile, but recently upgraded to inzer forever 13mm. 13mm is much stiffer. Still breaking it in though. So far, i prefer the 13mm for support

    How often do you "de-load", or take time away from training?

    unintentionally, about 4-6months ill take ~2weeks off or heavily reduced. I travel for work and sometimes just cant be fkkkd. If not, ill end up having a holiday in that time frame anyway.

    What Is A Bench Shirt Really?

    I've played with them. They are fun and different. Unless you have a few years, ie multiple years, of actual powerlifting training AND competing; they are entirely superfluous.

    South East Asia Travel

    I have been to Vietnam twice. Both times just rocked up at the border and got the visa there - no preapproval necessary imo. I did a pretty typical tourist route first time, which was ho chi min - Nha trang - hoi an - hue - hanoi - halong bay - back to Hanoi. All with overnight sleeper buses. I...

    Boss does 400.

    He was also really entertaining at the GPA worlds last year; the other big names were just making a spectacle of themselves, or rather not really trying at all. Dan the man actually made his class and came to win his competition.
