If you Google when and why not to use a static method in Java, you'll get better explanations than I can give. But it is bad practice for many reasons
>>37711710
Doesn't static just mean that the memory space is shared?
iirc, if something is static that means that multiple methods could be using it, so if you just default to making things static, you could be taking up memory when it isnt really necessary?
(im the guy who doesnt do java)
bored in class lads
>>37711837
I'm referring to only making static methods, not static methods as a whole. They are certainly fine to use, but with OOP, you shouldn't be making every method static, like Isley is doing. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/javaOO/classvars.html
8th for western countries too afraid to drain a little blood in exchange for great benefits
So what are we training today lads?
>>37711842
Studies have shown that density doesn't affect strength or hypertrophy at all, and that volume for hypertrophy is just amount of sets in a certain difficulty level. iirc it's 8 RPE+
The weight x reps x sets is a meme.
Resting 90s or 120s is a meme.
The rest is fine.
>>37711894
So when are you going to officially trade your hole for a pole?
>>37711842
Pretty sure the intensity thing is really important for my bench.
can barely do heavy bench because my training intensity on TM is too low. so this week I need to just up it and redo last week.
>>37711970
I'd like to see one of those studies desu, training density is talked about by people like Mike T and to achieve a higher systemic stress I thought?
>>37712033
are you doing a 5rm on ID? 3rm?
>>37711842

>>37712176
Nice. business/e-commerce here
Finals starting in 2 weeks kill me already
>barely got the rep minimum for ohp
Side note: why the hell does my belt get looser after every deload week? I literally have had to bring in my belt a hole after every one.
>>37712245
Finals? Southern hemisphere or what? I'm about to start the easiest senior year ever since I've taken to many of my upper division classes in my first couple semesters (17 and 18 units).
>>37712252
I hold on to a lot of bloat if I've been doing a lot of volume around that time fwiw
How to engage hamstrings and glutes more in squat?
https://youtu.be/wohwhl9jxxM
95-97% bench press one month out of competition.
>>37712054
Er,
I was doing 5rm, then 3rm for about a week or two.
Now 2rm.
DESU I think the only reason I had to decrease from 5 -> 3 -> 2 is not because I'm not making gains, but I think I had too much submaximal volume.
Increasing %age will maybe let me get back up to 3rms tbqh, and certainly should let me keep doing 2rms.

Funny how Williams drop his whole "praise jaysus" act this time round. And Cornelius didn't even know the words to his own anthem - looked so damn uncomfortable when the camera was panning up to his face. Then Haack acting all stuck up, and Candito sucking his dick for it; Candito even begged to be allowed to commentate apparently. Really inauthentic athletes compared to the humble likes of Gibbs.

That was 120+ juniors, right? Anyone have the time of the accident?
>>37712816
Ok, awesome.
poster coming eventually.
>>37712831
Pretty sure it was the 120- open
>>37712831
I don't, but he was walking around fine assisting the 120+ flight yesterday, so not seriously apparently. But did you see Kelly Branton nearly die under the bar, as well as the spotter behind him?
>>37712871
Thanks
>>37712872
Yeah, that was absolutely insane. I can't believe those dumbasses on Kelly's left side. They did jack shit.
>>37712816
One of my most successful memes to be sure
>>37712883
That was nightmare fuel, no doubt. Though he came back with a fantastic showing - great to see that his confidence wasn't shaken by that close call, you know?
>>37712816
>>37712932
I started this meme, joffrey adopted it and Boardshorts stole it
Fuck you lying cunts
>>37712871
Nope, Anthony Krznar, 120+ Juniors.
>>37712792
joe started that, making fun of a video leman once made, everyone else if a fraud
>>37712960
Yeah, it was great to see he wasnt to shaken up, unlike Gibbs. I respect Kelly a lot more now after that incident.
>>37712967
That's what I thought. Thanks. You have a time for the incident? I dunno why but I can't find the damn thing
>>37712671
>Funny how Williams drop his whole "praise jaysus" act this time round
I noticed this, I liked it.
It is just lifting weights for fun, God doesn't and shouldn't care.

Immediately before Jord McLaughlin attempted the same weight having failed it twice already
>>37713001
arrogant prick who knows nothing desu
Can I replace rows with rack pulls?
The ego weights are insane
The trap gains are insane
I mean who cares about lats anyway?
Stronger bigger traps = more shoulder retraction when benching thus less ROM
Big traps = big Deadlfit
Big traps = secure bar when squatting
Lats do nothing
Why do rows or chins
Chins suck and feel big
I don't do lifts that feel bad
Rows don't feel as bad but aren't fun like rack pulls
So why do them?
>>37712984
Not only was he not shaken up, he came out and absolutely destroyed the deadlift - rpe 0 on every attempt. That was beautiful.
>>37711588
For real though guys, that was a lot of fun yesterday. I'm so glad I found /plg/ and found this sport again. You guys are all top lads, for real.
2 more weeks until this protein sparring modified fast is finished. Down from 375 pounds to 220 over the course of 10 months.
And then to start Starting Strength :'^)

Fixed that for you fami.
>>37712984
>unlike Gibbs
What? Gibbs got gold in bench, and very nearly got his last pull. His total was 45.5kg higher than Hubbard's. It was all because of that bogus call on the squat for dipping, when really he just shook. *If* he had gotten the squat, he'd have gotten his third, not wasted energy on failing, and been ready to outpull Haack. Haack would've been the one shaken up from having to compete for the last kilo. Biased American judging all the way through.
>>37713043
No need for the hostility, brother. Everyone has to start - or restart - somewhere, right?
I was on /fit/ back in 2010? 2011? I severed my AC ligament a few years back, and in the depression of losing my gains and the pain of the injury I fell into depression. Ate my way up to 375 pounds, what a dreamer bulk. I found /fit/ again back in September, and I've been lurking /plg/ since - it reminds me of what I'm missing out on.
My lifts are weak as fuck right now - though after seeing what you gents are capable of they always have been. I just hope I can get as strong as some the big dogs here - gotta try hard, right?
>>37712539
I actually remember your name from a half decade ago. It's great to see that you're still in the sport, and you're stronger now.

>>37712831
Oh yeah that's the wrong guy. I was thinking about the guy who got held by the spotters when he tried to drop the bar, and the spotters weren't able to lift it up.
That might have been 120+, though.
>>37712831
Third attempt squat, 120kg juniors, not sure exact minute though.
>>37712252
Because your cut is working. Give it a few months and you can join me at twink mode.

http://fitsticky.com/articles/lats-during-the-deadlift
Traps aren't actually that important for deadlifts. At least not when comparing to the lats.
>>37713266
I got like 4 reps with this weight last cycle, so it could be worse lmao. Of course, the cycle before that I got it for 7, but beggars can't be choosers
>>37713201
Thank you so much
>>37713180
>the guy
Kelly Branton, a CANADIAN who won bronze in squat, bench, and total, not to be confused with an Aussie junior who won a squad tear despite bragging about "looking forward to my massive PRs at worlds" on his IG.
I mean, you'd have to be retarded to confuse a green-tinted screenshot of a bearded Aussie to the crystal-clear camera quality reserved for the open division of Branton. Don't even come here and disrespect world-class athletes again, do you hear?
>>37713266

Whoops, you were talking about the belt, weren't you? Tbh a 1.2 lb loss shouldn't cause it to be as loose as it got

I'm sorry sean
>only traps fill out a shirt and you have no shoulders and look tall rather than broad
how do i fix this
>>37713330
Body re-composition is real, lad. Especially if you're lifting hard and eating right on your cut. Not to mention the fact that you're not carrying as much water weight/bloat.
>>37713267
You and trappy are BOTH fucking retarded
>>37713375
What trappy wrote makes sense though.
And what do you think the traps do during the deadlift?

>>37713421
No, I mean it fits pretty well the week before my deload week. And then after my deload week, it's loose as fuck.

I'm thinking of running memeburn for The Press on my bench days, and also doing some standing DB press.
>>37713448
Cause the judges in this comp were on LSD
Just like butt off the bench isn't grounds for red lights anymore, apparently.
>>37713460
He bar move straight, no hitching, no dipping. He's just so strong that he can shrug it up and drive shoulders back.
And don't know what you mean, they called plenty of benches on butt. But they let Williams slip despite his head coming up.
>>37713438
Yeah, that happens sometimes. Water retention can be weird.
>>37713488
Bar went up and down from the shrug
And I agree his head came off. Just like plenty of butt-off benches that also got white lights.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little shit? Ill have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and Ive been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and Im the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. Youre fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and thats just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldnt, you didnt, and now youre paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. Youre fucking dead, kiddo.

Idc about the science of training, I just train
So I need your opinion on this
>>37714734
Should probably make your own template in that case.
>>37714752
The issue is I've just always trained
I don't know what muscles are used in what lift
I don't know the basics of programming
Quite honestly i don't care
I just want a suggestive guideline set in place on how to get strong and I fill in the lifts I want to do

But yeah don't worry about it, just switch your legs so that you don't become quasimodo, cause each leg will be worked differently depending on the position it's in.
>>37714502
Yeesh, that first Polish guy and the Branton one are tough to watch.
>>37714776
R u sure about the leg thing
I swear eric hugenbagen never switches his legs
>>37714734
High freq, most days squat, some days pull, press just about every day.
Chicken mondo-burrito for dinner #1 lads, fucken good.
>>37714801
Not for competition.
But yes, one leg is doing a hack squat, the other is deadlifting. Those are different lifts that work your thigh/hip muscles differently.
It can also cause imbalance when it comes to your back and trunk muscles.
If you're doing it like a horizontal deadlift, then it can cause imbalance when it comes to your upperback.
So balance out your training.
This is just my opinion though.
>>37714887
Can you explain why Eric hugenbagen doesn't switch his legs? He is adamant on muscle imbalances, he constantly blames them on injuries, so why do you think he wouldn't switch legs?
I don't understand
3 and a half hours till I can feel the sweet weight of the bar on my back as I squat it. this is what I live for
the intensities on sheiko deadlift variations are pretty brutal

You need to be rested to try harder though. If I'm doing sets above rpe 8-8.5, I rest at least 2 minutes.

>>37715673
>at least 2 minutes
Try 4, minimum. Clarence rests 7-10 per working set, Alex Kang 10-15 for deadlifts.
There is literally no downside to resting more, while only a negative to resting less.
>>37715367
Trappy?
>>37715792
But it leaves you with less time to socialise with friends
>>37715792
Except having zero conditioning and spending three and a half hours at the gym
>>37715792
>at least
If I'm doing really hard, heavy (for me) squats/deads it's usually 5-8 minutes between sets.
>tfw the weakpoint meme was true all along and my sticking point for bench is now definitely a good four or five inches higher than it was
>>37715792
depends on the lift but yeah
squats and deads I rest 4-6 mins but bench is like 2
not resting is absolutely retarded
>>37715606
I have been known to rest up to 30mins between sets and I'm stronger than a lot of faggots here ... so meh.
>>37715810
That's a positive, in regards to lifting at least.
>>37715814
If you have problems with conditioning, obviously you address it. I never brought up accessories - of course you don't take 5 minutes rests between every exercise you do.
How do you guys deal with working full time jobs and lifting?
I lift 4 days a week, but on those days I work 9-5 and then hit the gym after, including driving I get home by 7. Then by the time I shower and eat dinner and get shit like laundry, shopping or various household chores done it's basically time for bed and to do it all over again.
It's really starting to fucking exhaust me.
BIRDSHIT
Some of the spotters at worlds were a fucking joke.
>>37715930
>>37715930
I think the answer is to stick to something simple, which could mean either high frequency with lower volume or more of a 5/3/1 or Juggernaut kind of setup. I just don't see a four-day Sheiko template being sustainable for most of the year for someone with serious demands on their time, 40+ hour work weeks are manageable but toss a family in there for instance and that's about all the time you have. This is my own future I'm seeing here and I've started to think about it a bit in the last month or two. I'm sure a home gym would help.
Also trip on norse.
>>37715981
Yep. They don't just need to be better/more efficient at spotting, they need to be straight up stronger. Like if you cant press or deadlift even novice numbers for your bw how the fuck are you gonna be able to heave up or help stabilize a heavy bar. Just plain retarded.
>>37715981
>>37716085
How many times have you offered to help at a competition?
>>37716085
They had a high school kid spotting a squat. He couldn't even pick up the weight, and three other spotters had to come.

>I'm sure a home gym would help.
That's always a good way to go as long as you have the cash and the space for it.
I was working 10 to 12 hour shifts and running CLP and without a homegym I don't think I could have managed it. It's not just that it's convenient, I found it really helps with the decompressing. Heading to the gym right after work it extends the day by 2 or so hours where you have to be 'on'.
With a homegym you can get to your place, relax for a half hour or so, prepare a quick bite to eat, and then when you're done you just hop in the shower and you're ready to decompress for the rest of the night.
Also, the better your nutrition and your sleep the better you'll of course. Try and get on top of your micronutrients, make use of melatonin (if it works for you) to help crash after everything's said and done.
And if you're working indoors all day definitely look into picking up some vitamin D. 5000 IU a day will help tremendously with energy levels and motivation.
>>37716104
That's not even relevant.
This is one of the biggest powerlifting events, and they should have more concern for the safety of the lifters.

No wonder powerlifting isn't in the olympics. Shit like this.
>>37716188
So never kek
and you wonder why they can't get good ones
>>37716074
Yeah you might be right. Good to know I'm not just a bitch.
40 hour weeks and lifting were fine until I moved out with my GF. I get my weekends to enjoy. But the week is such a marathon of fuck that I'm ready to collapse by friday night. And sometimes I think "Hey I'd like to enjoy this old hobby of mine" or "you know watching a movie with the GF tonight would be kinda nice" but you just don't have time, even when you rush everything and squeeze in all the time management you can you have such little time left it's hard to enjoy it when you're watching the clock cuz you gotta make sure you're in bed by 11 so you don't have to do this shit without sleep the next day.
>>37716181
One day I want a home gym, but that won't be for many years.
>>37716193
It's not relevant what kind of spotting experience I have at meets.
Maybe I know I'm shitty at it so I don't volunteer.
My point is that they should instruct spotters properly, and find people who will be good at it.
>>37715957
ANON
suh?
Well lads, it finally happened.
I finally failed on VD.
My options are this:
(1) Retry next week (did heavy triples after I failed today, and doing extra volume on ID this week)
(2) Start cuckolls next week.
For what it's worth, I am cutting right now.
ANyone have advice?
>pic very unrelated, but nice and memey.
>>37715930
I'm usually at work from 8-4:30, go home eat a small snack, lift at 7. Sleep at 11. It helps that I literally live a 3 minute drive from my gym though. That still leaves me about 4 hours of free time a day where I'm not lifting, working, or sleeping, which is plenty for chores, video games, etc. Plus on rest days you'll have lots of free time.
Now that I'm seeing someone it's gonna be interesting finding how I can squeeze in time with her during the week though.
>>37716226
It's entirely relevant. There are too many selfish people such as yourself who want to lift but aren't willing to give back and it's a massive problem for every level of the IPF. Being on the platform is hard work. But learning how to do it is not.
How many 200kg+ squatters were sat in the audience complaining about the unpaid spotters, but didn't offer to do it themselves? How many lifters thanked their spotters after competing? How many dumped the bar and risked the safety of the people protecting theirs?

Me posting this will not make you learn. You will not learn except on your own, maybe a year and a half or two years from now. If you think you're too fat, choose chicken over beef and rice over pizza. Do not deliberately restrict your food intake beyond cleaning up your diet and drinking less beer. Again, you won't take this to heart and in year or two you'll think to yourself, "Wow, that anon was right all along, what an asshole I was to ignore him."
>>37716270

Do Larsen press instead.
>>37716305
She already lifts, so that's a start. She's a slightly chubby asian who does casual lifting and is a beast at cardio (marathons and shit). She has really nice quads.. Maybe eventually I'll see if she'll get into powerlifting with me.
In for really, really comfy medium-wide high bar lads. I'll probably still peak/compete low bar but holy fucc the comfy level is through the roof.
Could anyone else weigh in, please?
>>37716262
>>37716262
(If you're gonna say the exact same thing as the anon, then that's fine, I'l lstop cutting)
>>37716312
Hi, thanks for replying.
I'm already fat. I'm 6'1, 235 lbs, wanting to cut another 10 lbs at most. I'm also pretty weak.
>If you think you're too fat, choose chicken over beef and rice over pizza.
I'm already doing this, and
>Do not deliberately restrict your food intake beyond cleaning up your diet and drinking less beer.
is basically the same as deliberately restricting food intake, so I'm not too sure of what your trying to convince me of.
Not trying to be a dick. I really do appreciate your input.
Just realised Sean is Rodger from American dad
>>37716377
Have you tried intermittent fasting? A lot of blokes consider it a meme but I think it can definitely help if you're lifting heavy while cutting.
If you just want to cut 10 pounds you could always run a protein sparring modified fast for 2 weeks. It's a pain in the ass but there's no more effective way to drop the weight and let you get back to building muscle asap.
>>37716312
This. Since I decided to stop fucking around with cutting/recomp and bulk past 170 lbs, my lifts are going up so fast.
>>37716377
Way too many newnigs decide they're too fat once they wrap up SS and decide they need to cut (see a certain trip cutting on 1900 calories a day). This stalls forward progress hard as fuck, because when you're training with real volume your TDEE is actually pretty high, and you're in a phase where what you really need most of all is more muscle.
Basically just don't be a stupid fuck. Still eat lots of food, just less whole milk and PB&J's. Good luck.
>>37716377
Dony switch to a harder or more complicated program if youre cutting. Accept that cutting will reduce strength and just try again, or check the fitsticky website for how to break a stall.
Often times the best training is the simplest and least intensive you can get away with.
>>37716262
>>37716377
To provide a slightly more productive answer, cycling rep ranges is a good idea, when you can't make a 1x5, go to 2x3, then 3x2, then 4-5x1. When only have two or three singles left in you, go back to your last 1x5 weight. Tinker with volume all you want until you find something that's enough to smoke you and drive up ID without being so much it ruins the whole week.
But seriously, eat plenty of good food.
>>37712966
Tbqh I thought Alex and ssb made it up
>>37716415
Thanks for replying.
I would like to if I could, but I'm diabetic (t1). So I can't really do IF per se, but most days I don't really eat to much for a lot of the day anyway.
>>37716433
See the reason I'm cutting rn is because I was 255 (way too fat). 235 is much better for me. I think I might try to maintain here for a little bit, and see how the next week or two goes.
>>37716433
Yeah. I think everyone is right and I just dont wanna be a lardass. I'll probably just accept my fate.
>>37716478
I'm going to see if I can improve / spur progress by having some higher percentage sets of doubles, triples. I think for bench I really, really need higher intensity on VD for it to transfer to ID.
>>37716507
Thanks man.
I am cycling rep ranges right now.
As I mentioned in the above reply, I think that I really need higher intensity on VD to make ID, and probably some extra volume on VD, ID, especially at higher %age.
also eating at maintenance is what I'm thinking I'll do now.
>webm unrelated
>>37716285
Mine is about 1:1 with bench, maybe a bit stronger. Most of my friends are good for 90-95% of their bench.
>>37716262
>For what it's worth, I am cutting right now.
>ANyone have advice?
Run something super simple with slow progression and low volume. 5/3/1 would be great.
The slow progression and low volume and unambiguity make it a fine cutting program. If you chose to do the BBB variant, keep the percentages low, or you won't recover from them in time.
Joffrey u her?
>>37716560
If anything I would advise higher volume on ID. Drop 5-10% of the top weight off the bar and do one or two more sets. If you have the time to split it, SQ/BP Friday and DL/heavy CGBP (or literally anything honestly) on Saturday
Is there a 3 day conjugate method?
Google is down

That might be your best bet, brother. Since you're T1 diabetic you know you've got to be careful about your diet. Just keep an eye on your weight and get fucking strong.
You can always cut later, or you can shoot for the 120+ class.
>>37716608
>he just needs to try really hard and he'll be fine
This is assumed. I wish it would just automatically get attached to the bottom of every post I make.
Ex:
> have you tried trying harder poosey?
Been working on my highbar squat depth, and staying more upright.
How does this look lads? I believe this was 152.5kg, just a hair over 3pl8.
>>37716646
Not bad. Just make sure you're firing your lats to help stabilize your upper back, as well.
>>37716646
Here's my 200kg squat a few weeks ago without a belt, before squat technique adjustments.
>>37716646
Why is your descent so slow?
>>37716604
Not reaaally but check out some DUP templates, might be what you're looking for.
>>37716591
Yeah
>>37716659
Just trying to keep everything tight, and not go into autopilot, like i said this is a new stance and tech for me
>>37711588
Oh man guys and I going to snapcity??
Warmed up squats, entire right side of my back gets super tight and sore. I wasn't incorrectly squatting, I think I pulled my back?
>>37716608
>1900 calories
>>37716646
Still looks like kind of a lot of sit-back but if it feels good I mean they're your hips, you know them better than I do.
>>37716681
It's hard to tell what the bar path is from that angle, but the rest seems fine to me. I'd say if you want to be even more upright let your knees go forward more, but I'm sure you already knew that.
>>37716689
I don't feel like cutting for a year m8. And it's 1800 now :)
>>37716689
Yea it is a lot of sit back, but because my feet are positoned wider and pointing more outwards, i sit more between my hips rather than behind compared to before. Idk, it just doesnt feel natural to me to start the descent breaking excessively at the knees
>>37716720
Yea, im gonna work on having my knees go forward more
>>37716603
More volume sounds good.
I actually added a lot more volume a couple weeks ago but it didnt seem to make much difference and I think it was because the percentage was too low. So Im thinking rather than doing 3x5 or something at 185 (dropped from 225) it would be a lot better to do 2-3x3 at 215 or 210 or so.
>That might be your best bet, brother.
Yeah....At the beginning of this cut I said as soon as my lifts start to fail, I'm done. That was ~20 lbs ago at 255. So it might be time to reevaluate.
>>37716581
Thanks Buda. I always appreciate your attempts to help people like me who have retarded ideas.
I think the anons are right and I should just stop cutting and go back to maintenance, or start to slow bulk or something.
>>37716749
whoops, meant to reply

Here's a 180 beltless i did after with better angle (??), mind you this doesnt look as good or fast as it would usually, as this is after my actual squat workout.
A
>>37716730
That's fine then, like I said they're your hips. The only time I start with forward knee travel is front squats.
>>37716749
>slow bulk
I'd advise against that. As you're at a high body fat percentage your hormones aren't in a good place for bulking. You said you hated how you felt at 255, and if you get back up to 240-245 you may get real discouraged.
Definitely start by trying to find your maintenance and keeping the the numbers on the scale constant. If you're getting stronger and you're at the same weight you can know that you're dropping body fat and building muscle mass.
As soon as you start to stall again that's a sign that you've raised your TDEE enough that you need to add an additional 100-200 calories a day.
Also, when you start eating at maintenance you're probably going to gain 3-5 pounds just from water weight/glycogen/food in your gut/etc.
Good luck, brother! I hope you make it.
is a 465 deadlift decent for a 5'9" 165lb guy? Obviously gunning for that 500 but just wondering about where I stand.
>>37716808
Not bad at all, you could stand to gain weight for sure though. Which would only help your numbers.
>>37716801
I agree, famalam!
Thank you man.
Best of luck to you as well. I think I will spend the rest of this week "reverse dieting" and finding my maintenance, and do what I can this and next week to get my bench to work again.
ITT lifting discussion
lmao what a bunch of nerds.
>>37716816
That's my plan. Aiming to compete at my first meet in September/october so I'm just eating and lifting.
>tfw failed a 175kg squat after a clean 165
end my miserable life lads
>>37716783
It's a better angle from the last one, but since it's not quite head on with the barbell and plates, a little off. It seems like you're pitching a little too far forward, shifting the barbell past mid foot in the bottom half of the lift. More knee travel or trying harder to stay more upright could help.
>>37716884
Not to mention that upper back, i guess if i combined upperback tightness, with forward kneetravel and just trying harder i will be squatting pretty gud in no time
>cutting
>not just eating healthy and dropping fat fuck children food and automatically becoming athletically lean and more importantly, healthy
maybe if you fat retards (huehue) would put down the poptarts and milk and eat some fruit, greek yogurt and chicken, you wouldn't need to eat 1800kcal a day like several retarded fatties seem to be doing.
or at least do PSMF instead of being a BITCH about cutting.
>>37716935
Eating healthy food doesn't guarantee weight loss m8
>>37716980
It pretty much does though. You'd have a hard time getting fat on chicken, turkey, rice, and vegetables.
>>37717008
i used to have chicken and rice for lunch, one meal, about 1300 cals after calculating the butter and sauce put on it , so suck my dick mutha fucka
