These videos were posted nearly a year after I created this thread ... and I have seen a few other videos and articles on the same topic pop up since then too. I think it's great that this is slowly...

Great job with careful rampup and recovery :) I don't think you're being too dramatic about caffeine....some people need to be careful with that. I'm in the caffeine-sensitive bin too :( to the...

Hey! I'm not on bb.com much any more but I decided to stop by today since we are in the middle of a lonnnng car drive. I love seeing your updates!! Your pictures look fantastic and I am glad your...

Don't take this as medical advice, just a personal anecdote, but I have fixed kneecap pain on myself in the past by smashing my quads with a foam roller. There are lots of different possibilities...

In my own deadlift I notice a very strong correlation between hamstring flexibility and deadlift performance. Don't know if that's true for other people too but for me it explains nearly all of my...

Wouldn't need to if long-torso / short-thigh people weren't perpetually giving out incorrect and over-generalized info about what squat angles should look like. I'm not saying that's you, but I do...

You can change your torso angle a little bit with stance or knee travel or bar position, but the biggest factor in squat angles is your body proportions.

Let me guess... you have long thighs, and...

So exciting your meet is coming up soon! I'll be cheering for you :)

That's great to get a professional to look at it! Barely feeling anything in that stretch doesn't mean much...it might just mean your body is getting into that position in other ways. Like spinal...

I tried daily squatting, got a squat PR 2 weeks in, got joint pain 3 months in, learned trigger point release, spent the next year or so fixing all of my joint pain and alignment problems with...

Tight hip flexors and lower back pain are often related. I think either type of squat could cause pain until you fix that, and neither type of squat should cause pain after you fix it. I think a...

People who think less forward knee travel fixes everything *usually* don't have thighs as long as yours, just saying :) And every long-legged powerlifter I've talked to is a perfectionist about...

"Foam rolling" to me sounds like skipping a huge list of important muscles that are too small or too deep to reach with the foam roller. On me the most productive muscles to spend mobility time on...

I don't think you have anything to worry about. If other people's torso angle looks more upright than yours in the sticky point, that might be because their body proportions are different from yours.

I don't think you (or your coach) should have picked a 3rd that you thought you couldn't do.

But if the attempt selection is right: "my mom is trapped under a car and I must lift it up to rescue...

I share your dislike for calorie tracking. I tried it once...the only way I could convince myself to do it was to calorie-track my *groceries* on the day that I bought them, and then look at the...

A chiropractor should be able to help with this...probably affordably too (mine charges $40 per visit even with no insurance). Any chiropractor can check to see if SI joint is aligned, and force it...

My squat used to have the same look and everyone kept giving me suggestions for new mental cues to fix it...but for me it actually turned out to be an SI joint alignment problem, and my bad pelvic...

Congrats on your PRs!! That's awesome.



Oh gosh ... I like this :D
Or if your hair is as annoying to wash and dry as mine is, one does not "simply" wash their hair, period. And if you work...

I see them as an antagonist too ... the only thing I could possibly think of is that if adductor magnus and hamstrings are contracting hard then they might tilt the pelvis posteriorly if...
