I think what he means is that the whole thing about eating immediately following a workout is a myth. A lot of people say that there is a 30 minute time window after a workout to absorb nutrients, when in fact it's more like 24 hours. Of course, if someone has other information, I'd like to see it. | ||

Should I deload and try and squat deeper with a lighter weight? 150 didn't feel that hard to me, but I think that's because I'm not squatting deep enough. I haven't got to meet with my personal trainer yet, because he's had a bout of flu, but I still can't wait to meet him. He's an oldschool type of trainer. Who can say they've done climbed Lombard St. with 308 lbs on their backs? (admittedly a really old video) Way deeper, like a solid 6-10 inches. None of them were even close. Close down your stance a lot, you're too wide which is making it hard to hit depth and causing your knees to cave. Do lots of hip/glute/ankle flexibility work; I suspect your depth issues are partially a result of immobility. agreed on the depth. those were actually half squats to be honest. you want your hips to be level with your knees at the very least. i'm sure once your trainer comes in he'll address the finer points of the movement. | ||

What level should I reset to? I remember when doing strong lifts they suggested -10%. Should I apply this or go lower? thanks! | ||

My 5x5 isn't as hard I guess, I don't go 5x5 the same weight with squats, in the above instance I went. 8x60kg warmup. 5x100, 5x110, 5x120, 5x130, 5x142.5 | ||

You might want to watch "So you think you can Squat" from EFS (although they are talking about box squats you could learn a lot from it) On most of those reps I would say another two-three inches puts him at parallel. By no means is he approaching atg, but you don't really have to go atg depending on your goals in the movement, right? Back and shoulder position looks really good. No significant forward lean, no rounding - so flexibility is not the problem. Just force out those extra few inches! | ||

But hopefully he'll go a little lower, rerecord himself and check it out. On the other hand I should prolly try do some box squats and see if they are easier on my knees. Can't compete in a meet with no squat. | ||

Got a physiology exam that's almost entirely on the way actin and myosin work to make muscles contract, with a particular focus on the roll of calcium in that interaction. The main reason I understand what is going on is this thread, and all the vitamin d hype. Also have a cellular bio exam where half the material is actin and myosin - less focus on calcium,but it's still important. Eshlow, when I get A's on these exams, it's all thanks to you. | ||

On March 08 2011 20:16 Zafrumi wrote: 10% is good. i'd reset to 100kg Reset so that you hit you'll hit a new max about 1.5 weeks away... so in about 5 workouts so. Do 10 lbs/5 kg jumps coming back up so basically 112.5 kg drops down about 20kg (-15-20% or so reduction) to 92.5 kgs then ramp up 5kg per workout until you bust your plateau and/or have to drop back down to 2.5kg progress. Reason being dropping down further allows the body to get in some lighter workouts for better recovery if underrecovery was an issue rather than just drop down -10% because the weight is heavy enough that your recover won't be as good | ||

Another thing that keeps me from doing squats is pain right here: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Z0Ilo.jpg) At the same spot where the stretch is when you are doing side split  When I'm squatting up again I get a sharp pain, often on the right side. Otherwise it just feels like I'm really sore. Am I doing too much weight or something? | ||

Otherwise it just feels like I'm really sore. Am I doing too much weight or something? The adductors are quite vulnerable to injury so make sure to warm them up properly each time and some prehab work might be very useful. Today's workout: BB Bench Press: 5 sets of 82,5kg x 5 (+2,5kg) Close Grip BP: 70kg x 5 (shit...was planning on 2 sets of 8) Pressdowns: 3pl x 12, 4pl x 10 and 6pl x 6 (long time since I did those, dunno why I stopped since they were doing good stuff for my tris) Some abs Happy with the progression on the flat bench. Time to crush the 85kg plateau. | ||

Hit 225 no problem, now on to more PR territory. I love feeling amazing when I get done lifting lol Squat:225x5(reps)x3 Overhead Press: 100x1x1, Failed miserably lol knew I would, time for my reset. Chin Ups: BW + 20 lbs. Working on spreading my knees, as was told, and the only time I had my knees go in was on my very last rep of my last set. Ah well, gotta work on it. | ||
