ive seen you talk career before and you are way too pessimistic

my brother works at IBM and he says the people in his general area have a minimum of a MSc, but not in anything specific. There are guys there with physics degrees, chemEng etc

you can get far with a MSc in chemEng, it doesnt have to be in chemistry if you dont want to.

more than anything else, the degree shows that you are capable of understanding a scientific approach and that you are probably smarter than average and has a trained brain

Unless you want to take the risk of thoracic spine herniation, which is, admittedly, somewhat lower than either cervical spine or lumbar spine herniation, or you decide to get extremely strong quads to squat the weight up, which if you go this route, you might as well pull sumo anyway, then probably not.

I think it looks kinda good, you just need more time under the bar to perfect it.

What part of the lowbar do you have problem with?

>Doesnt highbar require more flexibility than lowbar?
Only if you do some kind of oly floor-defiling ATG squat. Highbar is easier mobility-wise since the weight is more "on top" of you, making it more like a front squat.

>>35962666
Pretty nice squat op. Keep this form and progress in weight.

You probably can't low bar squat because it feels akward for most people if not tought correctly. You could also argue that you need better flexibility in the hips but i'm pretty sure it's just a technique thing.
>>
>>35962729

2)
Well its weird, but for me the hardest part is just holding the weight on my back. I always feel like either im holding the weight up with my arms and then get fatigued and drop it, or i feel it in my lower back and feel like im about to injure myself so dont push myself.

I doubt I could unrack 115kg lowbar and hold ot for more than 30 seconds.

>>35962745

Training might be it, cause I just taught myself with youtube videos - obviously not ideal. Its probably something I should learn how to do at some point to be honest.

So it looks like low bar is what's been fucking with my knee. High bar doesn't do that, and that max is only 10lb lower, so I'm probably just going to drop lowbar.
That leaves one free slot in my variations. Any suggestions? My weakness is forward lean, though it's much more minimal than it used to be. I'm already doing front squats. Maybe SSB?
>>
This lack of lifting is starting to really affect me lads. Depression is coming in, and leaving no survivors. Don't expect any of you to care, just wanted to get it out there.
>>
>>35963754
Try that drill where you try to squat facing a wall with your feet just a few inches away from it. Might help you to figure out what "staying upright" feels like when you want to be bent over. High bar is sort of inherently upright, but I find that a free squat is more like lowbar in that you end up having a more horizontal back angle, so in that regard they might feel similar enough that you can figure how to cue for it in lowbar like you would need to in that exercise.

Like my appetite is fucked from being sick. But the depression just makes me not want to do anything, not even eat, even though I'm hungry as fuck. I'm just in the dining hall trying to get something down so I don't lose any more weight than I already have. Thanks for the song, I'll give it a listen when I get back to my room. Nice to know someone out there gives half of a fuck about someone they don't even know.
>>
>>35963802
>any ideas for squat variations
>try this drill that doesn't involve lifting at all
I'm having 70s Big flashbacks.
Anyway, I probably should have been more clear. I used to collapse forward in the hole, causing my hips to shoot up, but I've (mostly) fixed it through front squats and highbar. Now that I'm dropping lowbar, I need another variation to fill that space, ideally one that also focuses on the anterior chain a bit more.

Squat 280x3x5 man. Programmed like a retard for almost a year. Finally got on the right track. And my lifting numbers have nothing to do with my happiness. The act of lifting does. If I don't lift for an extended period of time or I don't have school distracting me then my depression kicks in.
>>
>>35963917
Yeah I realized after I posted that it wasn't what you were asking for at all and hoped you'd just kind of ignore it lel.

SSB is good, as are paused, beltless front squats (which you might already do). Pin Squats are really great too.
>>
>>35963931
How long were you able to progress from workout to workout on squats on SS?
>>
>>35963963
Started at 205x3x5, had to progress by 10 lbs a week until I got a belt at 245x3x5, since my core just couldn't recover. Deloaded 2 times already, so once I get back to lifting again, hopefully next week, taking a 10% deload on everything and going from there. Once I stall for a third and final time, gonna cut on 3/5/1 w/ BBB sets.

What was it about senpai?
>>
>>35964017
It's ok lad, we all start somewhere. I got practically 0 squat progress for like a year because I was on a PPL split for like a year. Started at 185x3x8, think I got strong (for a novice) legs from fencing. Pretty much didn't increase it at all for 8 months. Then I added 40 lbs to it in about 4-6 weeks. Worst way to program it ever. Would feel like passing out after the first couple reps, and always after every set. Eventually had to take a 2-3 week long deload because it got to the point I literally couldn't squat 235 for 5, and I felt like I'd collapse any moment. After that, squatting 190x3x8 was all I could do. I lost almost all of my progress, because I was a dumbass. SS is fucking magic though. Even brought my bench to 225x3x5, paused for 1 count each rep.
>>
>>35963931

I wish I had the time. I see my girlfriend on the weekends but I'm too busy with homework for the most part to spend all that much time with her. Lifting is all I have time for if I'm going to sleep normally. I wish I could get back into fencing but everything interferes with it. Hopefully next year will be easier.

No worries. I think I'll give the SSB a shot. It looks fun.
Conjugate is fun. I'm trying all sorts of new things (inb4 roids), and I'm learning a lot, but it's much more challenging to make it work than other styles I've tried.

>>35964058
I've been lifting for 2 years off and on because of 2 surgeries. But I only started squatting seriously a few weeks ago. Couldn't do it 2 years ago because of shoulder pain. What was your bench while you were on PPL?

Does alcohol really affect gains that much? I don't believe it.

>>35964056
Had to quit Powerlifting because I lost my arms and legs in a car accident, and developed some random skin condition that had me losing chunks of my hair, and I finished the dream off with me dying alone because my ex threw me in a dumpster and I die slowly by suffocation, then I woke up sweating, and about to cry.

Fug. I consistently have dreams about all my teeth falling out. Nightmares like that are the fucking worst.
>>
>>35964096
Programmed that stupidly too. Didn't move it at all for a couple months. But from November to March last year I was cutting. I'd add 5 lbs to my bench every 2 weeks. Went from 155x3x8 bench to 185x3x8. Everything I did was pretty high volume, I'm surprised I didn't fall apart desu.
>>
>>35964136
Bench was tng btw

>>35964130
Was fucked up cause I dreamt I was at the gym and a grill stroked my hair, and she grabs an insane amount of hair, and there was a huge chunk of skin at the bottom, then she starts cackling like a witch and everyone in the gym starts joining in.

What the fuck desu
>>
>>35964136
I think I need to drop my ego and just do SS for everything, not just squat. I've been doing Greg Cuckols 3x week intermediate routine for bench. Been adding 10lbs per month. But my bench is only 210x5. Will I still make progress if I do SS for bench even though I'd be cutting back volume by a lot?

Have no idea. Give it a go. I probably built enough muscle that I'm just working on actually recruiting it at this point, due to such high volume. I was absolute garbage at low reps when I first started them. 3x5 has worked for me, but I don't know. Don't do any pressing accessory work either, I'm running SS with some back/bicep work, and the ab wheel. Also brought my OHP up to 140x2x4, which is good, if you like doing OHP.

I'm horrible at low reps. I can bench 210x5, 200x9, but 220 only twice. I've always been good at OHP. My best is 135x12. But I haven't done it in a couple months. I'm just going to try SS with back/biceps/abs and see how it goes, thanks.

I do facepulls for 3x15 every session, I barbell row 3x5 every time I bench, with some 3x10 curls. I do chin ups for 3xF and ab wheel on days I ohp. Honestly wouldn't hurt to have some pressing accesories, but I don't think I need them yet.

This one will probably make me sound like a pussy but whatever. Dreamt I fucked a girl in front of my girlfriend. I didn't want to do it but my body wasn't under my control at all. Woke up in a sweat. Was scared to fall asleep the whole day.

my nigga. glad to see it's working out alright for someone else. Have you thought about something like TM , so you could shift from daily maxing to weekly max effort stuff?

I'm not big into it. "The Lonesome Crowded West" / "MaA" are two of my all time favourite albums, but they never quite managed to capture it again for me.
