It'd be like preparing your entire life to bang 100 chicks in a row, getting tan, hitting the gym, making sure your hair looks right and reading the Kama Sutra, only to realize when you get there that you're gay and cannot get hard in the presence of women.

is it weird that my lats are my biggest DL weakness right now? (I may have asked this exact question before can't remember lol)
I'm doing 5/3/1 right now. My DL day I follow up with DB rows, pendlay rows and pull ups. Should I add in some lat work on my squat day you think? If so any recommendations?

I think my situation is a bit different.
Here's part of a lung X-ray analysis I got back maybe a month ago (it was a TB test):
"The bones reveal degenerative changes of the thoracic spine. There is age indeterminate anterior wedging of what appears to represent T11, possibly developmental variation."
However during the time of the X-ray I was having a sharp, intense pain around the T11 area so it's likely I had (have?) a fractured vertebrae. That with the "degenerative changes" comment makes me think I should stop my aggressive powerlifting style workouts (brb throwing around 400+ lbs, gonna snap my sh** up) week to week until I go see someone. I'm just so busy with school and work I have no time or money. I'll call the doctor soon and request they send the X-ray to an orthopedic MD and/or try to get an appointment.IIFYM - not even once.

Speaking of foam rolling, PVC pipe > all. We have pretty much every roller at the gym now and I've stuck with some over the PVC for a while and they suck. I used the black rumble roller (the stiffest) and it sucks in comparison to the pipe.
“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”

Ok....I am confused....I am NOT being a dick. from what i understand you're 1.) light in weight, 2.) fairly lean and 3.) maxes are not very high in poundage, you're improving all the time though, so GJDM
HOW in the world do you need that much work on a rumble roller etc....? I didn't have issues until I was ~190, and was squatting near 500, and deadlifting over that....and now that I've lost a ton of weight and don't work out i have zero issues.
You know that first hand even more than I dowww.xccellence.com
FKK.....We don't play

You don't have to have problems to foam roll, which is why it is referred to as "prehab." I've noticed when I don't keep up with my stretches and foam rolling, I get pretty tight (maybe because I spend so much time sitting?). I'd rather not wait until I have a problem to solve it, I'd rather prevent it. People get injured all the time and have to take time off lifting. I spend 10 minutes 4-5 times a week foam rolling, so I'm not sure how that's "that much work"?. That's really not that much and it's a worth while preventive measure if it reduces my chances of injury. The more I can consistently lift without getting hurt and having to take time off, the better chances I have of making gains. That's my thought process. I'm more than happy to invest 10-20 minutes a day to minimize my chances of an injury.
And obviously some people may never need it or may need it later, like you.
Edit: also forgot it's very much like a massage for me (and other people). I feel fantastic afterward and just move better. I was in piss poor shape before I even lifted.“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”
