I don't know what kind it is, but whatever it is, its pregnant. Those are definitely eggs on its back.

Not for you ILO, for you squat is the measure of strength. Only for you, no one else.

How can you squat like 100lb more than me? Your favourable leverages/and good work ethic

Gonna pull 580x1 in 13 days time

Yeah he works hard for sure, but squatting to Andrew does feel pretty natural to him im guessing

Have you ever even read my log?

[ChecksandGiggles]

Interesting videos.

[dabucche]

So how about deficit deads? Are they more taxing because they're at a deficit, or less taxing because its less weight?

[LegosInMyEgos]

You're an interesting video.

At some point there reaches a cut off of weight vs intensity. I imagine a regular deadlift is pretty close to the maximal CNS activation, its a pretty good combination of ROM and weight.

I spent the whole week working on flexibility, and I had no pain today, but I traded no pain for the ability to squat.

My body literally eats the stretch reflex out of the hole now and it just makes the squat awful, I couldn't get into a groove, so i didn't go heavy.

Also, I cant use knee sleeves, simple as that, they make me torque the **** out of my knees, I had to take them off.

Oh well, at least I put together a bunch of pieces of the puzzle today.

I'm thinking of making a video about the reasons cellular technology make you stronger even on a pound for pound basis, but I wouldn't be able to post it on this site....

omg, if this is actually allows you to squat i'm going to rage

I've been telling you that your mobility and flexibility has been giving you problems for almost a year now

[LegosInMyEgos]

but it doesn't allow me to squat, it ruins my squat by destroying my reflex out of the hole.

so I was right all along, flexible=bad. I only need enough flexibility to do the motion.

[ampUP11]

Maybe you now have a problem with staying tight since your new flexibility has counter-acted the already tight muscles in your hips/hamstrings/glutes that were providing you reflex purely out of lack of flexibility lol.

I know, a tight muscle is a strong muscle. This is why static stretching before a workout lowers your 1RM and is conjectured to increase injury risk.

Having just enough flexibility to hit your target depth is optimal from a strength standpoint.

The likely conclusion at this point is that my hamstring and/or glute is hitting a nerve or something else during the lift since its so tight.

I never said you needed to do the splits, but destroying your reflex out of the hole and being able to train routinely > hardly ever squatting

it was so bad that 225x8 was a challenging set.

please reconsider your opinion.

So let me get this straight

You have potentially found a way to work around a multi-year long injury, but you are unwilling to lose some short term strength term in order to sacrifice for the long run?

Its not a little bit of strength, I cannot use the stretch reflex at all and my max felt 125 lbs lower.

And it was 1 day without pain, it could easily have had to do with the fact I didnt go over 225.
