Hmm, never tried that, will have to try that next time and see if that helps! Thanks! :]

Ah ok, thanks! I am gonna start unracking with both feet underneath, just as if I was doing a 1-2inch squat. As for the lean, I am working on putting weight back on heels, perhaps that is causing the...

Hey y'all. So I have been having this nagging mid/lower back injury over the past months and I am making sure it isn't a form issue. Basically, my mid/lower back region to the left of my spine gets...

So I guess I will just always have to keep on top of my form then? Currently I am working on mobility and keeping chest and torso more vertical on high bar squats (I think it is a weak core issue,...

Thanks for all the help guys, super good advice :]

Thanks to everyone, I ended up htiting 215 x 5 today! Was it pretty...eh, not so much. But it felt solid. Gonna re-look at my nutrition and...

Yeah, eating more does seem to be the general consensus. 1lb a week be damned I suppose lol. I agree form is VERY important to me. I am always lookng around at any vids or tutorials I can to improve...

Yeah I hear ya there, I started at 128lbs, and I don't look crazy different now that I am 161 pounds, so I can see how such a long lanky frame spreads the weight out. The 1.5lbs - 2lb goal a week...

Much obliged good sir, I hope I have some noob gains left, but I never did really have those exploding numbers like some people tend to quote, which is disapointing, but hey, go with what you can do...

Lol at the "no."

1. Perhaps. I also look to find ways to improve form, so I do not doubt this. I am currently working on shoulder, hip, and lower body mobility, so it could be that.
2. Also...

Hmm, never heard that advice before. Perhaps change squat progression to something like 5/3/1 or doing like heavy squats the first day, then paused squats the second workout, then regular non-pause...

Yessir, I go to the univ. gym so I have a spotter there, I grind the best i can, and usually I can get 4 sets of 145 with minimal issues (no assistance yet), but that last set of 5 I can only usually...

I realize that my lifts are very low, I do not deny that. Hence what I said above about not believing they are intermediate despite what the calculator says. I am eating enough, since I am gaining...

Don't have a bench press vid currently (although I feel my form is good, I have watched every bench press vid from Dave Tate's work to Ben Rice's, but I could be wrong of course) but here is my...

Ah, didn't think of that. I guess I just assumed my noob gains should put me higher based on what others seem to get before having to change. Any suggestions on routines? Switch to a more...

Hey y'all,

So I am running Ice Cream Fitness' 5x5, been doing so for about 3-4 months or so. Lifts have gone up well, till I hit the 145 bench and 215 squat, wherein I stalled HEAVY and cannot...

Hello all :]

Stats:
6 foot 2, 160lbs
Clean bulk ~ 10 months so far (up from 128lbs)

5 rep max: 215lbs
Weight used in video: 195 x 5 (deloaded to work on form)
Routine:...

Yeah, its a college gym, so there are ALOT of folks like that. I would help them out, but seeing as I am so thin, nobody would prob take me serious lol (my 5 rep max is only like 230)

Wow thanks! That means a lot :] Yeah the reason I filmed this was because I went for 250 x 5, got 2 reps, felt a bit weird, so decided not to go for any more and do form instead for the day. I will...

Hey everyone, below are two videos of some deadlifting I did the other day.
Background info:

6 foot 2 inches

Goals: strength and...

No I have yet to microload, as I don't have any microloading plates. Any way to make some? Otherwise I could order them, but I wont have them for a couple weeks if that is the case.
