bingo.
and on top of that, short term increases in cortisol really mean jack ****. It is long term low level elevations in cortisol that are catabolic. Cortisol is a hormone that needs to be elevated for a long period of time in order to cause damage because it acts at the DNA level so it takes time for mRNA transcripts to build up. It's not like insulin where it binds and 2 minutes later you have a response. Cortisol is much different. But the 'gurus' out there don't understand this and all they know is "ugh cortisol bad; me no like cortisol"
hell i just finished reading a study where the groups that had the most hypertrophy also had the highest levels of cortisol post workout during the study.
So to hell with the great cortisol myth.

Layne, do u ever have lower back discomfort the day after a heavy squat day? Like...85%+ of your 1RM... if you do, do u have any tips on relieving it? Everyone ive asked says my form is tight and my back has a good arch to it, but i still get discomfort after heavy squats... i also use a belt.
thanks,

Glad to see sheiko is at work!
I'm about to start my 3rd cycle, and the results so far have been great for me.
My workouts last forever though...i'll hafta switch it up during school.

I would say it's your mattress...You might be fatiguing your back during the squats (maybe goodmorning it a bit perhaps), but that's exactly how I would have described my back pain as well and I noticed it more on days that I had to support my lower back more (especially rows)...Like it would hurt to bend over the sink the next morning and brush my teeth, but after say an 1/2 -1 hour or so of just normal moving around my back felt fine. I never really knew what to attribute it to, but I got a new bed and it seriously went away the first night on it. Funny thing is the mattresses are not much different feel wise (they both "feel comfortable and supportive"). I wasn't one to think a bed could make that much of a difference, but it did for me.

well i mean obviously they can mess up your back if you aren't doing them right; but I have no idea what is wrong with your back in particular

would you say that this also concludes cortisol products to be bunk?
I've been reading up on it my self but still dont have enough to create an educated opinion on the matter

doesn't make them bunk; but they should be used during times of high stress when cortisol is constantly elevated

So Layne I have a question. I've been switching over to hook grip for deads and I'm wondering on your sets of multiple reps do you use that grip? I know I saw one vid where you used straps but that was on defecits.

Todd, if i remember correctly, Layne said that he used straps for lighter weight/higher reps, but for competition purposes and his attempts he used hook grip. so that he didn't tear his thumbs off for no good reason (maybe not word for word ). unless something has changed or i am remembering it incorrectly.

Hey Layne do you have any experience with pinch nerves? I have a pinch nerve in the lower back/upper glute area and have been going to a chiropractor to help it heal quicker. I am unable to do squats, leg press, deadlifts because of the pressure I put in my lower back. Do you have any suggestions or tips to help me recover quicker? It's been over two months now.

I know I'm not Layne and I'm by no means a doctor, but are you absolutely sure it's a pinched nerve? Could it be a sciatica issue due to a tight piriformis muscle? I ask this because you say it on your right side and I just went through the same thing. Does it hurt worse when you sit down? I would suggest for either scenario a lot of stretching. Stretch your legs, glutes, it bands, piriformis, everything. Just my 2 cents here since I know doesn't want a big q&a anymore
