Can I get a form check on my low bar, I had been doing high bar because I didn't know the difference. I do 175 high bar (I'm on ss) but this is 135lbs

I sill can't believe me and you screenshot the same exact photo down to the millisecond without seeing each other's posts

I also see you had Kreator in lair's playlist, not bad lad.
now you've got me listening to all my old metal faves, you ever give any Gorguts a spin? they're canadian I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1X0Bejwnko

We see your dirty ass sweatpants from yesterday.
And your autistic football jersey.
And your hipster whiskey.
Very cool, Sean. Does your mom know that you're borrowing the "good" glasses to drink out of?
>>37584007
Learn to brace your core properly, and don't use running shoes to squat.
7th for fat retard wouldn't be a retard if he accepted he was squatting high bar
>>37584045
There my only shoes :(
But back, depth, and knees were ok?

Low back seemed rounded, probably due to improperly bracing your core

I'm not sure how your lower back isn't blown out, you need to fix that lean

It happens. I once saw my doctor pull into a deserted parking lot in the middle of nowhere, and make eye contact with me as I walked by. His practice is on the other side of the city, and I literally never walk through that area save for that once. Really eerie when you consider the chances.

Perhaps he has a strong low back? Perhaps from a 4pl8 + deadlift.

Besides the butt wink, is my front squat form bad...?
>>37584312
try harder and get better
>>37584339
Seems like you've got your form under good control.
>>37584339
It looks like your knees are a bit too in front of your toes. Also straighten your head, it helps you activate your posterior chain more.
>>37584339
Looks good as long as you're not rounding too crazy on the way up.
>>37584388
>dont let your knees get in front of your toes!
When will this meme die?
>>37584371
>>37584388
>>37584389
The way up I get a slight lean, I mean at or around 5 degree but it's the whole back on the upper back.
I'm just nervous as fuck constantly about form since I tweaked my right rotator cuff benching improperly
lolololol tweaked my trap by pushing my head down into the bench so hard during slingshot sets.
Icing it. Fuckin get gud me
>>37584388
The knees over toes thing doesn't matter with front squats really. The head position is solid advice though. Pick a spot ahead of you and follow it with your eyes while keeping your head nice and forward.
>>37584418
>the knees over toes thing doesn't really matter with front squats
It doesn't matter with any kind of squat
>>37584339
Lose the shoes. No matter how good your form is in those shoes you're still going to be standing on your toes.
>>37584426
So when ARE you going to pull 405+?
>>37584412
>slingshot
That's what you get for using a meme accessory
>>37584411
That's normal. And yeah I'd be paranoid too if I fucked my rotator cuff. That shit sucks
>>37584431

gotta be up at 5 am, nn senpai its been a comfy 2 days off
>>37584406
>>37584388

i was going to suggest he let his knees go forward more. its a fucking front squat lol
>>37584339
other wise looks pretty gud bud
>>37584431
dude whut
>>37584426
It sort of does with lowbar. They should be right over your mid foot or toes. Just because you really don't hit too far below parallel
>>37584431
Could you explain? My father got me them when I was a senior in highschool and actually lifted. Now I'm just restarting after 2 years away

>>37584460
Don't listen to that retard.
>>37584437
Honestly if I wanted too I could most likely pull 405 today but im alright to resist the bully until the end of this program cycle
>>37584458
No, it depends on your proportions, someone with long femurs is obviously going to have their knees further forward to keep the bar mid foot
>>37584438
Used correctly, it really builds your confidence under heavy ass weight. I've never had issues using mine, and it made me way more comfortable hitting my 250 pr
>>37584485
What are you running?
>>37584502
This. So much, I cannot recommend it enough.
>>37584501
But with even with long femurs, you should be sitting back enough to have them not go past your toes too far if at all, right?
>>37584412
>Pushing your head into the bench
>Ever
Wew lad. Hope you feel better soon

http://www.biomechfit.com/2012/02/09/3-squatting-myths-that-refuse-to-die
It's a tip given to new squatters to help them not put the weight on their toes since new squatters already have a problem with their heels coming up.
How should i best add OHP to this program, fellas?
>>37584502
I don't deny it, unless your implication is you can't do so without it, in which case you're a weak retard.
>pls be kilos
Fat Retard is right, low bar squats are super comfy! Smashed 295x2. AMRAP at 305 Monday.
>>37584580
Superset it with your squats using your squat weight
>>37584606
Pls do more back work lad, you're scaring me
Also trigger warning for Lith (twink doubling over your deadlift max at like RPE 7).
>>37584571
Right, but I'm just talking lowbar, which most new lifters don't do. I don't watch out for knees past my toes or anything really, but I thought with correct form your knees should end up over mid foot or toes. Thats just what it seems like I've seen it end up as on squat vidz. Once in awhile (long femurs usually) they go past the toes
>>37584606
disgusting
>>37584606
Serious question though, does the bar feel like it locks in place when you set up for your squats? I don't get that feeling with true high bar or true low bar
>>37584592
I got a full time job and weigh 175 breh. Please don't judge my shit bench
>>37584606
Holy shit, pull your fucking lats in to help stabilize your spine before you hurt yourself.
>>37584613
somebody said i dead-lift more than you, is that true? pic related, me with 165kg. First time doing mixed grip in many months, it just kept falling out of my hands double overhand.
>>37584606
Dude I don't even do deadlift but I think you should start squatting with 10kg dumbell first.
>>37584650
Yeah, it locks in place right at the base of my traps and above my rear delts. I'm definitely doing high bar though. I squeeze my traps back, push the bar into them, then place it at the base basically on the bone on the top of my shoulders.
>>37584632
>>37584617
So the good mornings are that bad, huh? It doesn't feel uncomfortable at all. That set actually felt really strong like I could have done another 2-3 reps.
>>37584618
Jokes on you I can't open webms on my
phone
>>37584628
My knees go over my toes during low bar and I'm fine. It's just something that happens and isn't a form issue imo.
>>37584673
Yep. Last time I maxed out a few months ago I hit 160. Impressive that you got that far with double overhand, I think my grip gave out before 2plate
>>37584678
It's in a similar position to you then, right between the mid and rear delt for me. You know, that weird ass gap between them? The only difference is I pull the bar down into my back by tensing my lats.
>>37584678
Your back was rounding pretty bad. Either you're not tensing your lats right or you have a weak as fuck upper back
>>37584699
>Grip gives out under lmao2pl8
My sides
>it's a benchlets argue about slingshots and squatlets argue about bar position episode
>>37584712
I can do 3x5 chins +35 lbs and am a pretty good deadlifter, so I don't think my upper back is weak.. I'll try to work on tensing my lats on my squats next time.
>>37584699
Dude work on that grip. That's really embarrassing
>>37584549
Yeah I was just bein dumb. It's already pretty much fine.
>>37584724
I'd say brace your lats similar to how you would in a deadlift. Pull your arms in to cover your armpits, or whatever cue you use.
>>37584699
145x5 was the limit i feel, i did get 155 for one a while ago but i think i'll have to train mixed now. i can't do hook grip with my little girl hands it seems.
somebody also said that my upper back is weird even when i am standing upright, and i may have some kind of spine disfigurement that makes my form look worse than it is

Good to hear, you can really fuck your shit up if you push your head into the bench. My dad got a cervical disc herniation that way.

My bench is like supermang-era Isley. I've actually been steadily improving though so I should escape presslet status before the new year.
>>37584871
Trappy how many pull ups can you do?
>>37584871
How do you suggest fixing my weak back? I'm getting really close and want to join that 2x bw squat club.
Has anyone else ever deadlifted in heels just to mess around and then realized it felt 100x better than flats?
What's wrong with me?
>>37584911
front squats and HEAVY ASS ROWS
>>37584911
Pic related.
>>37584896
I believe in you friend.
>>37584918
>>37584919
Since I'm running C6W it's really hard to fit in extra squats since I'm usually exhausted after my lower workouts. Should I just suck it up and do some front squats anyways?
>>37584950
HEAVY ASS ROWS
>>37584950
I'd say go for the rows first. I like cable, allows me to get a good stretch without putting my wrists in a compromised position or putting extra stress on my low back.
>>37584950
Good thing I suggested SSB deads and not squats then, huh?
>>37584967
Wtf are SSB deads? Never heard of them. I'll look them up.
>>37584965
Yeah, I'll start doing cable rows once a week to see if that helps.
>>37585006
Look at the picture you dumb shit newtrip
>>37585006
If only there was a convenient picture of said exercise somewhere in this thread.
>>37585006

>>37585042
Do I have to explain what training economy is?
>>37585037
I like chins a lot. Noticing a definite size and strength difference from putting weighted chins in. Rows have been good to me too, for the most part, although I don't think I'll be touching barbell rows too often anymore.
>>37584911
What the other people said, front squats or safetybar squats.
Also deadlifts and back extensions/goodmornings. For the thoracic spine specifically, seated goodmornings or thoracic back extensions. Using chains on your back (or meme shit like deadlifting with a weighted safetybar) are also good to put more strength requirement at the thoracic spinal erectors.
And just getting better at bracing, and flexing your lats and spinal erectors during the lift instead of letting them relax.
Not a fan of rows for the spinal erectors specifically though (which is your problem). Most people just compensate their weakness during the lift when doing barbell rows (of course doesn't happen if done with excellent form, but even then), and other types of rows (cable rows) aren't really targeting your spinal erectors at all.
Rows are great for the other back muscles though, but it's not really what's holding your squat back. Pun not intended.
>>37584909
I don't really train pullups. But tried it right now and did 8 on the space above the doorway. Really shitty thumbless grip there though, wasn't very comfy.
Keep in mind I'm twink as fuck tho.

>spinal erectors
i know yo were stupid, but this is a new low. please open a anatomy book.

>>37585062
I can't be bothered with assessing subtleties when I'm trying to bully, and you go for the self-aggrandizing approach roughly 17 times as often as the self-deprecating angle, so it's a safe gamble.
>>37585037
Kroc rows #1 back exercise no matter what you say
>>37585078
you can't possibly do every exercise that may be beneficial to your body/performance due to time or energy constraints. An important part of training is knowing what is necessary and what should be cut out. beginners don't know this which is why they often have a shopping list of every possible exercise as their "program"
>>37585114
Not with that attitude.

desu hes right, once youre strong enough you find yourself going home after being done with the main work. no energy for 'useless' back exercises
CALIFORNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WEEEEEEEEEEEE COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME
Gonna purchase a belt tomorrow, any recommendations?
I've been eyeing up this one, gonna go for single-pronged. Does anybody have any other recommendations around the price point of this belt before I make the purchase?
http://www.inzernet.com/detail_belt.asp?PRODUCT_ID=FOREVERBELT_BUCKLE13
>>37585072
Okay, I guess I'll try working in front squats somehow. Do you suggest just doing them after the regular C6W work?
>>37585225
yea get that one
>>37585224
I WANNA BONE
ACROSS THE NAAAA-TION
>>37585225
IDK if they're better now, but there are tons of horror stories about shipping times when people ordered directly from Inzer.
>>37584914
I accidently PRed in heels once since I completely forgot about them.
It honestly wasn't that uncomfortable and the only difference I felt was the bar being slightly lower on my shins than normal during setup.
>>37585263
That can be solved by ordered over the phone instead of online
>>37585228
If you can do extra squats about the c6w work then you set your 1rm too low imo
I LOVE BAD BITCHES THAT'S MY FUCKIN PROBLEM
>>37585075
You're right, we don't hit erectors with every fucking exercise we do
>>37585075
If you spend too much body money on something like rows, you will have less body money to spend on a more effective and thorough pull like chin ups
>>37585282
Big fat pussy poppin
>>37585278

Horror stories as in the shipping time took way longer than stated online?
>>37585275

>actually having to interact with another person to purchase an item
b-breh...
>>37585228
C6W has space for two optional exercises on each day. Do the front squats there.
>>37584914
Rippetoe actually personally prefers deadlifting in heels.
Personal preference and a matter of goals though.
>>37585303
Ordering* lel. And do it. It won't get any easier if you never do it.
>>37585225
I've always been a fan of Squall's belt. Or are you looking for something like what Lulu was rocking?
>>37585303
Just write down what you're gonna say on a notepad file
>>37585325
You're a man
>>37585303
Horror stories as in it took months on end to receive what they ordered and dealt with non-existent customer service.
If you want an Inzer, just order it somewhere that has what you want in stock and not from Inzer themselves.

RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROOOOOOOOOOOM
>>37585373
>>37585386
I'm not saying max out your front squats.
Just do lighter weights, volume work.
Candito recommends plenty of compounds lifts for the optional stuff, including jumping squats or cleans.
He doesn't specifically mention front squats, but you're not gonna die from doing them. Just again, don't max it out, and eat well so that you can handle the volume of training.
Otherwise, if you can't handle it, do front rack holds, paused front squats with even lighter weights, or the other stuff I mentioned which is specific accessory work for the spinal erectors and posterior chain.
>>37585390
Too much pulling unless you're specifically in a block that calls for that type of frequency or volume. Otherwise you'll fuck up your phase potentiation Bro
>>37584606
holy shit why
>>37585428
are you srs?
pressing 4x week is ok but pulling isnt?
if srs, strange tbqh
>>37585428
CALIFORNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>37585421
Candy toe also says that 90% of the time, he just squats, deadlifts and then goes home. Not saying you're wrong about doing front squats but c6w is intense enough without them, better off waiting to finish the cycle before doing anything else.
>>37585440
>what are goals
This is a powerlifting thread. Benching is a competitive lift. Rows and chin-ups are not.
>>37585421
You're a man
>>37585421
Okay, I'm almost at the end of this cycle and probably going to max then deload after, but when I start up the next cycle I'll try adding in really light front squats.
>>37585436
>why
Because my program said to squat 295x1-2 then has me doing 305xAMRAP Monday.
>>37585456
no one talked to you twink, swole men are talking
>>37585128
yes.
you wouldn't understand because you're weak.

>what are goals
This is a powerlifting thread. Benching is a competitive lift. Rows and chin-ups are not.
>>37585475
CALIFORNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>37585453
Again, if you can't handle them with lighter weights, do the other stuff that I mentioned that is more specific and less overall taxing.
The program calls for optional exercises after the main stuff. So unless you know you can't handle optional exercises after the main stuff, you should do them.

>>37585520
Still don't get the chins > pull ups thing
>>37585390
I do chins every day. 30-40 reps or so. I am now replacing my rows with chins too so on 3 training days per week instead of the 30-40 bw chins Im doing 5-6x5 weighted.
>>37585529
Hits biceps better and are better at hitting lats, apparently
>>37585539
any benefits to this?
>>37585524
where did you get that spurdo image?
>>37583939
>>37585524
It's all about perspective and who you're around lad.
In a commercial gym, a 2.5 plate squat is impressive simply because no one can squat that much except for a select few.
This isn't ipf worlds, this is /plg/ where probably 30-40% of posters can squat twice their bodyweight
>>37585553
/int/
>>37585529
I think it is just that chins involve biceps and pullups involve some other small muscle.
So you can get decent bicep volume in by doing chins.
of course i still do my chins and curls, but w/e
>>37585545
Yeah. I've gotten a lot better at doing chins despite being kinda fat.
The only problem though is 30-40 bodyweight chins is way more volume than I would like to do, so I am considering (god help me) by a plate or two from rogue fitness.
And though I can't reallly tell yet because im fat and cutting, ill be interested to see how my lats have grown when im done cutting.

I hate normies
and a bunch of niggers wouldn't stop their baboon hoots the whole time
>>37585589
oh.
Im honestly not 100% sure.
The reason I am thinking of moving from doing rows to doing chins is because I think chins are harder and uncheatable.
e.g. I can row 230 for 6x5 but have trouble doing 6x5 chins with +5 lbs. (partly cause im fat)
the other thing is rows potentially tax your posterior chain and are another opportuntiy to fuck your lumbar. hence, another argument for not doign rows.
oen thing i hear a lot but im not sure if it is memes or real is that you need a horizontal and a vertical pull to properly develop your back.
When I asked phil about rows, he said he would do chest supported instead.
>>37585589
Barbell rows are in SL, Chinups are in SS.
Therefore chinups are literally superior in every possible way.
Memes aside, both lifts are fine. Chinups are just more complete for the upperbody (involve more muscles), have a longer range of motion, and don't tax spinal erectors and aren't prone to feeling awkward or fucking up form.
There are of course benefits to barbell row as well. But I'd spend the entire night here if I were to analyse everything about two very complex compound movements.
>just walked into a gym I've never been too and on the whiteboard someone wrote my "(my first name and the first letter of my last name) is weak"
S-Sean...?
Man. I always get super negative when I get injured. Even this really minor thing has got me very mad at myself.
>>37585691
it was me
I told you I was going to be under your bed
I'll be waiting
>>37585697
you deserve to be mad at yourself for injuries honestly
>>37585666
Finally got my satanic trips
>>37585675
>>37585680
>>37585695
Sean please take the sand off your vagina.
>>37585487
How fucking strong must his hips be for him to force his knees OUTWARDS when squatting heavy fucking weights? I mean most people have their knees cave with heavier weights but fucking candito is the opposite
Holy shit
>>37585710
don't post that picture ever again
>>37585710
Sean is employed unlike you young man, that means he is asleep, while you stay awake, young man
>>37585710
Kill yourself.
>>37585714
That's just a proper form squat. You're just too used to twink fucks from /owg/ being shit at it to think that is impressive.
>>37585714
Meh, not very. The only thing opposing the abductors is the adductors. Your knees don't need to come in, you just let them. Candytoes just has more determination that you to keep them out and more practice at doing so.
>>37585732
>arguing about personal achievements, success, and schedule
>against someone who is in medschool
>>37585753
p much this. Candito's knees tracking out is a very conscious effort.
>>37585763
Well Sean is employed and has millions of dollars, and trappychan has nothing, and is supposedly in some highschool medical school
Reee how do I do front squats. Just tried with 80kg and now my upper back hurts
>>37585811
>>37585811
You just gotta find the comfy front rack position and the rest sort of takes care of itself. You probably didn't have the bar seated far enough back on your shelf.
>>37585816
>>37585817
it was my first time pls be gentle
>>37585826
Yeah I had it directly on my front delts, I'll try further back
>>37585835
>Yeah I had it directly on my front delts, I'll try further back
It kind of feels like it's choking you, but just barely, make sure to get a big chest though, or you're going to cut off your carotid and end up on the fucking floor like a scrub.
>>37585639
Hammer grip is often recommended by people. Poliquin as an example
>>37585636
Both. You close your elbow joint more in chins and elbows reach greater "depth". The trade off being no use of erectors- which I train with everything else
>>37585732
I literally just finished my post-work dinner. Because you know, I'm a busy girl and didn't have time to have proper dinner earlier between the autopsies I performed today with my own hands (a man who died from acute myocardial infarction and another one from cerebrovascular accident), and going to work coaching people in the gym.
And I'm going to bed.
So enjoy the night sean <3 and don't forget about taking the sand off your vagina, will make you feel a lot better.
>>37585811
>>37585835
Just don't block your carotid arteries or you will blackout really quickly. See webm related.
Watch videos on youtube or something. And yes, it's very taxing on your upperback. That's the main point of front squatting.
>>37585849
Fuck why does front squatting 80kg feel harder than back squatting 160kg
High bar is a good substitute for front r-right guys?
>>37585869
I'd tell you to use the sith bar, but it would probably kill you.
>>37585864
Thanks for the advice trappy, nn
>>37585850
Guess I'll swap to Chins then
>>37585869
>High bar is a good substitute for front r-right guys?
If you're a huge pussy, yes.
>>37585869
Just letting you know 80kg is close to what trappy-chan front squats. So be less of a faggot.
>>37585879
S A V A G E
>>37585886
You think I like it?
Although I'm at a commercial gym where it doesn't look like anyone squats so I'm fine here
>>37584871
thankyou, i'll work on my lats on monday when i diddylift next
Should i try and learn lowbar squats when i deload on Monday?
>>37585974
At your stage it doesn't matter. Do whatever is most comfiest.
damnn
>had to Deload my front squats this session to 60kg because I couldn't do 10 reps at 80kg
I just.....
I'm gonna go find some rocks to collect, it was nice lads
Just made a hyoooj potential work connection with the VP of marketing of Nixon (the watches). Fucking stoked lads he told me to email him and get set up with an appointment with him and to see if a company like Nixon would be for me (it is)
Excite
>>37585993
Doing more than 3 front squats sucks dick desu
nn lads. Gotta head over to the big smoke for a wedding tomorrow. Gonna cut the rug pretty good, so I probably won't be back till Monday. Y'all be good to one another.
>>37585993
Program your FS as 3x5 to start lad. Your form isn't good enough for that sort of volume yet.
>>37585988
This may be just me, but a lad and I were talking about how mascots look very tempting to tackle, and I think this extends to furries. I just wanna, like, spear the shit outta that. Maybe through a wall?
>>37585996
Fuckin eh lad get baaaank make $$$$$ All I wanna do is bang bang bang bang and a ka-ching take your monaaaaaaaaaaaaay #100 #toolit2quit
>>37586008
Doing even three kind of sucks. The single best argument I've ever seen for the SSB is how much front squatting sucks.
ENEMY OF GOD
>>37585974
If you wanna lift the most weight, yes.
>>37585974
You don't even know how to sumo deadlift yet and now you're going to learn lowbar? You don't have the hip flexibility.
Switch to conventional, please. Do it for your own sake.
>>37585974
>this weak
>doing deloads
>>3785993
Don't let this place and it's criticism get to you. Unless you are fundamentally broken on a genetic level, a lack of progress in your training is usually due to something easily fixable. Recovery (Nutrition/Sleep) and technique (Intensity/Form) are the two most important things, and a temporary deload is NOTHING in long-term progression.
You need to view yourself more holistically. You need to deload in order to give yourself a chance to front squat 200kg 6 years from now. In the great scheme of your personal progression, the difference between 60kg and 80kg is meaningless. You're weak and need to get stronger. You're not trying to meet a deadline.
However, practically speaking, 60kg is probably too much of a deload. That's 25%. Don't deload more than 15%, just add weight more slowly than you have been, and make sure to dial in recovery and eat sugar before your workouts.
>>37586429
meant for
>>37585993
genetic deadend is my new favourite term
>>37586270
He might well be able to lowbar just fine. its not like most people squat raw with anything near their sumo width.
>>37585974
Didn't learn low bar till I was squatting 4 plate.
>>37586429
I can lowbar 175kg, I was just ashamed that my front squat is so low. Thanks for the advice though. I have no idea who you are but I like you
My old gym just bought a SSB, wish they had one when I was there
fun piece of equipment, v comfy
>>37586535
I have to admit, that's the first time I've ever seen that bastard thing referred to as comfy.
>>37586535
>memes
There is no need
>>37586580
It lets me pretend I was born with the perfect proportions for high bar squats, so upright
that said the first time I used it I accidentally leaned forward and nearly btfo the guy squatting in the rack in front
Is trappy or anyone that knows shit about squat mechanics here? Im the guy with deep hip sockets (for you) and I filmed a bunch of different squats today. Making a playlist once this last one finishes uploading
>>37586634
Ok here it is
Squats: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmHUsTfVlG4n3VtgzMEWkjQsNe2eKO7mW
Not the prettiest. Had to work today so I had some weakness bracing once the weight got heavy. The wprk set was particularly ugly, my LP is nearing the end I feel
My questions/problems are:
>How to get more depth without buttwink
>Am I hyperextending or is that neutral for me? How do I fix, I do planks amd gljte bridges for warmup as is
>Will heeled squat shoes help
>Will this level of buttwink hurt me long term?
Thanks guys. All help appreciated, I just wanna squat stronk and deep (for you)
>>37586634
Lith is here still
You're in good hands
I'm off to bed in a minute

>thought I had simple triceps elbow tendinitis that extended somewhere into joint
>goes away with stretching, rolling, and flossing
>pain in joint doesn't
>>37586682
No Boardie please! I need the help of a stronk former lanklet to guide me throigh these dark times
Also I fucked up and uploaded another warmup set not my work set, fixing now
>>37586429
you... I like you
>>37586733
>former lanklet
>former
>>37586733
>former
Lol
I didn't have time to look at all of your videos but this is what jumped out of me. Your trunk collapsing is causing the bar to travel forward, which is your biggest factor in what makes it look ugly.
Also you don't necessarily have hip sockets too deep (oh baby) for a deep squat. Step one should be focusing on keeping your hips neutral to your L1 spine- don't drive it back
Thoughts on a Squat/Bench/Deadlift/Squataccesories/Benchaccesories/Deadliftaccesories/Rest routine to cut 5kg? intermediate here. Want to cut asap, so 4-5 weeks. From 83 to 78 so I can slooowly bulk. Plan to add 5kg in about 5-6 months with a Texas Method with accesories-like rouitne
>>37586793
Also, I can sleep like 8.5 hours and then a quick powernap of 30 min after lunch.
Would also do 20-30min of cardio every.fucking.day.
>>37586681
Can you have a wider stance and be more upright without losing balance backwards? If not, chances are that heeled shoes will help a lot.
You look like you might have tight hamstrings too, but that's hard to know without seeing you get into a proper squat position in the first place.
>>37586681
poor ankle flexibility
poor hip flexibility
diagnosing hip morphology is a shitshoot when you have more obvious problems. Do a bunch of flexibility work, specifically around hip flexors, and see what happens. Your proportions are not unfavorable, they actually look fine
Also stop sitting back, just look straight forward and let your legs fold naturally underneath you
>>37586682
>can't tell if bully or not
>>37586793
I like 5/3/1 for cutting. Still heavy weights but the intensity isn't so high that you want to kill yourself, plus it's extremely customisable.
>>37586815
>heavy weights
>intensity
What would you know of such things?
>>37586786
Youre too bulky to be lank now m8 soz. How do I find that neutral position? Any video or coaching ques? Thanks
>>37586806
Im about at the edges of the power rack already. I suppose I couldngo a bit wider but not much, and it would probably not be comfy. Thanks.
>>37586809
I agree with ankle flexibility but I really do think my hip mobility is limited by bone structure. I can feel femer hitting pelvis during warmups. Will definitely work on hip flexors, that has been a problem.
I dont focus on sitting back, honest. I try and sink between my legs. Any ques to help be more forward/upright? I already do the 'corkscrew feel and spread the ground' as well as knees out. Thanks m80
First squat pr in probably since my meet a year ago. Slowly been trying squats since I tore my groin.

Wow didnt notice my upper back was going soft too. Thanks man, much appreciated. Enjoy the gf and the sleep

Im going to bed now too, thanks for the help guys. Happy squatting
