I have the weakest arms on earth. I can do five toe to rings, I can do maybe 3 or 4 pull ups and I can hang quite well both straight and L-hang. My goal is to do muscle ups but as you said, it's difficult and considering how weak my arms are then I am thinking it's even more difficult than what people say.
Check this dude out, gnarly lift and technique:

Do you lift raw or with equipment?
I lift raw, a guy at my gym advised that using wraps and belts can help with building technique and strengthening parts of a lift but he lifts raw for full lifts. He was talking about o-lifts though.

Might change to normal raw in the future, wich also allows kneewraps (those can add 10% on squats)
Never gonna do suits. Not my cup of tea
Some deadlifts off blocks from last saturday
Normally i was going to use chalk and reverse grip, since i can pull better over 90% then with straps, but a tendon in the left wrist is strained, so i cant put torsion on it with the left palm out. switching to left in right out is a huge risk for a bicep tear as its not accustomed to the weight.
Second set was when the gym was allready closing, so i had to do it with a still to high heartrate.
Note, fuck those shorts. should have rolled them up as they kinda get in the way
This tuesday maxing squat, and bench+deadlift on saturday, hopefully some nice pr's

Nice Zach!!!
Also, funny socks you have
Also, funny socks you have
excellent stuff
Only happens when you are hitting the limit of your CNS. Wouldnt have occured as much if i had a 5 min pauze for both sets, and if i could use chalk.
On squats, this would be a different story. But i'm squatting far from the weight my cns can take.

When i pulled that 300 off the floor 22nd may, i barely had shaking. But that was with a smooth singlet and chalked, and from the ground

@Azzurri7 i very highly recommand these

They dont give you any extra strength, but they keep the knee warm and add little pressure, wich is ideal to keep the quedriceps and hamstring connections, the quadricep tendon and patellatendon warm. I used to have inflammating issues before i used those, and its completely gone.
Squatting is actually beneficial in your case. It just has to be controlled with a PT, on low weight for high sets so your tissue can grow and strenghten. A practice with is very often used by American physical docters after the recovery of a grave injury.

SBD or Titan/Inzer can be expensive. But you really need that thick Neoprene. Rehband is good for ellbow sleeves, but dont offer the same support for the knee due to inferior design compared to these.

Zach, yesterday I did my stretches and warm ups, did my first set at 40kgs and felt a small cramp in the back of left knee. I stretch my calf and hamstring out and then went up to 90kgs for my next set and on the third rep the cramp meant I couldn't carry on but it felt fine 10 mins later. Is that likely a random build of acid or an injury?
Deadlift btw
