Am I using de-loading correctly?

The last 8 months I have been de-loading every 6-12 weeks. The de-loading phases haven't been entirely planned, instead I just skip my workouts when I have a cold...

About me:
*I've been working out 3 times per week during the last 7 months following Stronglifts 5x5. Before that I hadn't been worked for at least a few years.
*My lifts have increased quite a bit...

Bump. Any ideas on this?

When I squat, I notice that my body does not look totally straight. In the mirror it looks like I am leaning to the left at the hip. I have attached two pictures.

I've been lifting in Adidas in-door sports shoes that I thought we're pretty decent lifting shoes. But a few days ago I forgot them at work so would have to lift in my socks. Major drag I thought!...

When I squat to 90 degrees my "ass falls" a bit and stops being straight with the rest of my back anymore. Do you know what I mean with this?

Does it increase my risk of injury?
What can I do to...

I am ok with those goals being unrealistic. I want to add some muscle and lose some fat. If those numbers are too far away then I'm pretty...

I am guy with a pretty average physique. I have been hitting the gym for many years now, but only on and off, so all I've done is I've maintained a moderately healthy and strong but average physique...

When I was active on this site in 2005:

I know there was a short discussion here a while ago where two people had different views on streching.

One opted for the traditional streching time, 15+ seconds
The other one said it was better...

The milk i drink has 3.5%p / 5%c / 0.5%f
The yogurt I drink has 4%p / 4%c / 0.5%f

So it seems yoghurt wins the protein category as well.

Dates, mmmmmmmmmmm

What would steel cut oats be in Swedish?

...

Is steel cut oats the same thing as "crushed oats".
How would you describe steel cut oats?

If you need I quick boost I suggest you try fruit. Fruit has lot's of healthy stuff in them and provide quick carbs. Try drapes or dates. Or whatever you like the most that has high energy-density.
