Peace brehs. What kind of headphones/ear buds do yall wear? Im looking for something that won't be a hassle in terms of falling out while moving or running or being clunky. I'd prefer something that is pretty good at blocking noise too. Any recommendations?

I love Sony XMs(I have XM3 and XM5) for working out but I wouldn't recommend them for running. I don't wear headphones while running.

Powerbeats Pro 2. I have some AirPod Pros but I sweat too much and they never stay in when working out.

Legs yesterday -

Hit heavy belt squat for the first time in awhile. Felt good on the knees. Major quad DOMS activated today. Going to switch out pendulum for belt squat for a mesocycle and ride this wave.

I’ve never really gotten the mind muscle connection with lying leg curls. Too much hips/calves activation. Last two leg workouts I’ve started doing it unilaterally and feel much more hamstring recruitment. Similar thing happened to me with my lat training over the last few years. When you don’t “feel” a connection with a muscle group, try doing the exercise unilaterally. It could reduce neural recruitment and improve focus for better contractions.

Scale it all the way back to the isometric/light body weight phase?... I had a messed up hamstring for years that I didn't know was hampering me until all my heavy lifting was breaking down. Finally pinpointed the issue and have had to start all the way back at isometrics.

It has been revelatory though because I was having the same issues with hamstring activation as you.... feeling it in the wrong areas.. ... it's all those compensatory muscles that are way too strong in relation to what you want activated. Been gradually incorporsting more challenging hammy work and I feel the difference......... but I can't front and not mention how painful and how much i long to get back to being able to lift heavy weight again....
