You might as well put one between your legs to stop the vag bleeding, brah.

I used to use it all of the time. The current place I'm at doesn't have one though. Yes it does make a little difference. No reason not to use it if available imo.

but it's definitely not necessary in any way

Actually sounds like a good idea


On the subject of squats, 3 sets of 10 occasionally makes me queasy. It's not my breathing or the weight. I'm guzzling water too. What's going on?

Used it in high school after I got sun poisoning at the beach.

Before my shoulder muscles were more developed, I had to use it as the bar would rest right on my bone.

Now I don't use it.

I always liked this more than the foam pad.

Heartburn, maybe a hernia. Could be too much water. Definitely consult with the OT.

you honestly can gain plenty of strength and muscle by changing that to 3 sets of 5 with more weight

well it won't help you lift more, but I mean obviously there's some difference in a steel bar resting on your back compared to one with a foam pad on it.

Yeah but 3 x 10 does too right? Because 3 x 10 gets my heart rate jacked. I love it

You're probably just lightheaded from all the blood rushing to your legs which are a lot bigger muscle than all the little ones in your upper body that you work individually.

I get queasy when my dick gets hard for the same reason - the OT

yea that's all good too. I was just suggesting that if you're getting fatigued.

I find that when its used people end up putting the bar to high. The steel gives instant feedback on where you need to place the bar

this room is a god damn sauna, that can't be helping things. It was worse before I started just downing water between sets
