    There are a lot wrong with that squat, sorry to say. The good thing, however, is that you can fix most of it with a few easy pointers.

    That certainly depends on your recovery. If you have fixed the why it happened and your body is injuryfree then I don't see a problem with conventional deadlifting.

    Foam rolling will most likely help you out. Really roll your back and legs and the soreness (I'm guessing it's really more of an ache/tiredness?) will subside.

    Else do some heavy farmers walk, static holds - preferably with a thick bar.

    I think this is pretty much what is going. I'm guessing your pain could be described as a tightening of the lower back? I think it's most likely that your lower back is way stronger than your core,...

    First I have to say that the definitions change depending on which fed you are looking at.

    But as a general rule;

    Naked raw = no equipment of any kind including straps, belt and so on.

    You don't really write a whole lot of info. How has your squat "went into the ****ter"? Are you not increasing weight and/or reps. Does your back feel really tired? It's impossible to give you a...

    As have been posted in this thread, I believe time under tension (TUT) is important when training calves. Go slow on reps and really focus on getting a good squeeze at the top. Also heavy volume....

    I think decline bench is an excellent exercise, however it can be quite hard on your shoulders. So if you have had a lot of shoulder issues i would avoid it. If not, go for it!
