Hey guys, so my lower body has developed rapidly in strength and size, but my upper body is lagging a little bit (I'm not kidding either, my pressing is so much weaker than my squat and deadlift,...

Idk why, but I guess I like Logic more because he had to struggle from an early age, confused with a mixed-race identity, father abandoning him, mother going berserk on him. Gives more substance to...

so my upper body lifts (bench and press) are lagging behind my lower body lifts (squat and dead) a bit due to technique issues

would it be a smart idea to increase the frequency of upper body to...

That makes sense.

my plan is to use the majority of that period of time between my first meet and second meet (idk when) to just build muscle primarily and strength secondarily, and then before...

Funnily enough, the guy who wrote the program I'm going to do has that same viewpoint.

If you want to see it, its Guaranteed Muscle Mass by Paul Carter on Tnation.

My deadlift isn't really technique reliant. I basically get into position, get as tight as possible and pull. Not really complicated. And my sldl would be the same, except no squatting down obviously.

So I'm planning on running a mass building program after my first meet in august. Its an upper/lower type thing, and theres no conventional deadlifts in it. However, I have sldl, squats, front...

did 3x15 overhead squats like tutora told me to, and my lower traps were burning after each set. is that good?

Thanks man, ill try that. Also I was doing incline in place of ohp just because but I put it back in today, I have the same problem on ohp as I have on bench, maybe its that trap complex not working...

Whenevr I bench, on the very last rep of my sets I lose shoulder position and then the midrange/lockout becomes very difficult, morr often than not I fail the rep like that. I do make a conscious...

i do inclines as my main bench accessory, and i also do "control work" after my main heavy benching work with spoto presses. since incline is my primary assistance movement, is it worth doing...

erm, i just looked up what high bar placement is considered and i think i did a "midbar" of sorts. It's like i put the bar right above the spine of the scapula (the collarbones of your backside).

I can do about 8-9 reps with 225 low bar...today I did high bar 225x8 @rpe 9. Same depth is reached for both movements, just below parallel.

Should I just squat high bar instead, because low bar...
