My small experience and problems:

I'm an intermediate lifter who's been lifting for 2.5 years in total and doing Viking's Bare Bone series for more than a year and a half. My lifts in the...

Question about Diet

Like anyone who follows a standard bodybuilding cutting/bulking phases, I want to lose body fat without losing too much of muscle and strength, therefore my strategy is to have...

Boring Introduction

Hey guys! I'm 17 years old, 6ft2 (187 cm), 210 lbs (96kg) kid who's been "bulking" for more than 2 years by now. I started out at anorexic 60kg (135 lbs) and increased a lot of...

Thank you for the response, I wasn't exactly sure, but I guess larger jumps might be more productive? Since low-level work like sets of 5 rep "max" might train my strength more.

I also had SI...

I've been squatting for almost two years now but with terrible emphasis on frequency even though good frequency was necessary for me as a novice.

I've started Viking's in March 2018, so it's a...

I've been having a quite uncomfortable pain in my "lower back", which I found afterwards that pain was actually originated from Pirfimoris. I've asked about this previously, and received a quite...

I was being sarcastic, of course.

Lately "experts" of "conventional wisdom" in the gym, who are also new year resolutioners have been suggesting me to avoid barbell training with no valid...

I'm trying man! I'm really really trying man :(

Yesterday I took a single chicken breast and soylent after doing a very important core work with situps (barbells are too dangerous for my age).

So I guess I'll take something like StrongLifts 5x5 or Starting Strength 3x5 (I have a book lol). I'm pretty sure I bench significantly more for 5 reps compared to 12 reps, but of course I'll view...

Thank you for the suggestion. Did you have a good progression? I feel quite weak even though I've been following the program consistently for months, will such program greatly increase compound lifts?

They are kinda old, but there's not much of difference.

My squat is currently 80kg and I do total amount of 32 reps with it (usually 12-10-8-4)

My bench has stalled for good amount of time now,...

I've been lifting for around 1.5 years and running Viking's Bare Bone Series for around a year by now.

I can say I'm pretty comfortable with major compound exercises (deadlift, squat, barbell...

Yes of course. That would be the actual internal rotation. Just if I had my toes in neutral position (or perhaps slightly inwards), my knees would instantly start to cave in due to less control of...

Thank you very much for the advice.

I really wanted to argue with that man, to know if there was any piece of truth in his suggestion, but he didn't so I just thanked him for an advice.

Hence,...

Yes, I use Nike Romaleos (with raised heel) for my high bar squats and they helped me a lot. My knees started going more forward but my torso remains vertical.

But when my heels raise themselves...

I apologize, I totally agree with that, I assume it is easier to internally rotate so that your knees do not line up with toes than to externally rotate them.

UPDATE:

On toes, after thinking more about it, having them outside is a natural position. We don't walk with internally rotated hips. That's why patella glides normally through cartilage and...

Actually, you can have your knees over your toes unless you raise your heels or initiate the movement with knees. Olympic weightlifters do it all the time, since it is easier to remain upright...

I've been squatting for around 1.5 years now, and what happened to me today is something that I find hilarious.

So I go to a squat rack, and next to me is a guy doing seated curls with lady...

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately I do not think I will be able to perform fascial release work as demonstrated in the video, due to lack of the equipment. What I noticed though, that I had lack...
