How close are your feet? You can start off by spreading them as far as possible to minimize rom. I've gotten good at this, It's not really a DL anymore though, it's more like a shrug while doing the splits.

I remember core training being discussed in here a few pages back or so.

Found this: http://www.jospt.org/issues/articleI...cle_detail.asp (full text available, read it, the abstract is ... full retard: "Depending on the individual needs of a patient or athlete, some of the exercises may be more beneficial than others for achieving strength." yeah no ****)

My take away: pretty boy beach muscle (external obliques and rectus abdominis) activation is kinda good with regular planks.

On my phone so I can't do a search (plus I'm lazy) I know it's been discussed extensively. Can you guys give me cliffs on how to fix butt winking in squats and shooting hips on deads?

I know it's generally, flexibility issue with butt winking and "start in a higher position" for shooting hips. Is that about all I can try?

get fat, put on a deadlift suit, and engage gear-whore mode.

flexibility issue with butt winking

See if the wink disappears with you holding a 10lb plate in front of you and arms extended. If the wink disappears then it's an anterior core issue.

And just saying "flexibility" is kind of vague. It's tough to address the hip tuck when you don't know where you're lacking. Also, what is the degree of the hip tuck and how deep is it occurring? If you're going ATG then stop. If the degree of hip tuck is slight then it might be natural to your body.

There are 1001 articles on this, though. Eric Cressey does have a book called Assess and Correct that allows you to assess where you're limited. It's a fantastic video/book.

Low bar vs high bar squat in regards to hypertrophy does it make a difference?

i've been told with low bar you can squat more.

Low bar = less quads, more hammies, glutes generally. But then as you said, you can normally use more weight overall. I do low bar back squat 2x a week at the moment and then front squats 1 day. Figure this ticks most of the boxes.

this. just listen to this before someone comes in and starts trying to argue minor details. both methods will hit the same muscles i just changes the percents slightly. use whatever you want but high bar tends to carry over to low bar better than low bar to high bar.

More people need pc help than quad help IMO

335 for a triple. Not too shabby. My technique and flexibility needs work still but I was kind of happy with it. Lifting status is slowly being reached.

[Lvisaa2]

Over 2x/bw for a triple is pretty damned good. Think you probably had another 1-2 in the tank if someone forced you to grind 'em out.

Thanks, man. You might be right now that I look at the video. The feeling is so much different than what it looks like. It felt so much harder than it looks. Maybe next time. My girlfriend doesn't egg me on or anything.

Fuk grindy squats. I'd throw up 90% of the time after them.

I usually squat in my Adidas shoes (identical to Eric Lilliebridge's except I have red laces) but they're too dirty to wear into the gym because of the winter, so I've had to go back to my Lunars for the time being, which suck for squatting but I like them for front or SSB squatting. I used to squat barefoot but I abandon ship on that. I need new gym shoes badly. I was in the US and saw Adipure Trainers for $40 and didn't get them like an idiot. Big regret.

My brother is good for this but Mondays are the only days we don't train together.

They feel the worst, too.

I tried to do 350 for a triple on Saturday.. Got 2 and got stuck in the hole on the third.. Had to bail on the weight.. #FeltBad

Hey, I was just wondering if you lift?

[FenderElectrics]

this seems like the case for squats most of the time. The first time I ever hit 3 plates I showed it to a buddy and he said dude you easily had 3-4 reps there no way I let you stop after 1 if I'm there. It was grindy as **** when it was happening but looked smooth for some reason on video

[snrygo]

Arrrrgh why is 200 on bench so Goddamn hard to break? I don't even see it as intimidating but I can't get it ><

From my experience the higher my body weight, the easier progression on the bench is...

Gain 8 lbs in 8 weeks, gain 8lbs on bench -.- progress shouldn't be this slow...

Yeah, now that I think even more about it, I could bench 315 x 4 when I was 205 and when I prepped for my show i still benched 315 x 2 when I was 155.....meh
