Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
Will start on a slow bulk and take it from there!

A bit nervous posting here after seeing everyone's amazing transformations but here goes.

Used to be skinny fat, had a slow start at the gym but finally got going a year in. Went from 80kg(176lbs)...

Thank you, I'll keep going

Hello!

So used to weigh 80kg/180lbs with a fair amount of fat before going all the way down to 145lbs. I then went on a very slight bulk while lifting and have been making good progress.

I would say about 2-3 weeks. I recently came off a calorie deficit, so I don't believe my stalls during that period would count. Since going on a bulk, I've increased in reps but not weight as the...

Hey!

I am doing Fierce 5 and loving it so far. Had a question about the progression though.

Male, 26, 178cm/5ft10, 3000kcal per day.

I am unable to increase 5lbs a week on my bench. I am...

Ah perhaps so. I actually started many months back but due to poor form my bench did not gain as much as my other lifts. Now that I have form better sorted I was told to keep going on a novice...

I see. A guy above mentioned that as well, too much knee movement. I'll keep that in mind on Monday and film from another angle. Abductor is what you try to push from right? High-bar being more...

Awesome, thanks a lot. Will try that on Monday!

I see, so instead of knees going forward the idea is to push your ass backwards. Lower back arched?

I'll read through it, thanks!

Here is an update guys with my first attempt at a low bar squat.

Hello guys.

Posted a thread 2 days ago asking for some fixes for my poor form with the high bar squat.
Decided to give the low bar squat a shot so I spent about 1.5 hours in the gym today...

Perhaps not. Since starting with lifting I've noticed it's very hard to recognize the real information from the bull****, or bro-science.

I did some reading on the two versions and from what I hear the low bar squat allows you to carry more weight, involves more muscles, and as a result, allows you to gain more, which is what I am...

Awesome, thank you very much for the information. I will check my ankles tomorrow when I am at the gym!

I see, thanks a lot for the input! Can ankle mobility be trained? I would prefer not to use additional equipment for my lifts if I can get away with it.

Perhaps switching to low-bar?

Awesome, I will keep that in mind. I have been squatting at home with an empty bar in a door frame to force a straight bar path, will go to the gym again tomorrow and try again!

Thanks!
