Since the weight is at 95+ i start doing squat mornings for the last or second to last rep. What part of me is to weak? How do i fix it? I've been thinking to switch from 3x5 to 5x3, since the first two or three reps are always good. Suggestions, ideas? | ||

It's amazing how long the effects of a single night out stick with you, even if you don't notice it - almost the same as removing gluten from my diet. | ||

What works for me is making sure that I break at the hips, but bend at the knee simultaneously, squat as if I'm sitting BACK, not DOWN, and higher bar position is also helpful - although high bar squats are an entirely different animal than low bar squats. If you're really having trouble with your squats then rather than switch to 5x3, I would think about first eating more, then next reset switching to an intermediate program - something with ramping sets like Madcow's. | ||

Time to watch some squat vids again i guess. Well i weigh 82kg and i've got fairly big legs, so 100kg shouldn't be a problem. I'm already on a intermediate program (squat is my worst lift). Basically i can squat with good form for 2-3 reps, then at the 4th my form goes to shit. Should i lower weight? Reps? | ||

Taking a 'light' day after I failed the first set last time and doing 220x10 helped a lot. First set felt so easy and the other sets were reasonably hard. Failed my 170 bench with 5-5-4-4 but I'll get it next time for sure. | ||

Learned that I have to tighten up my core on every rep and that my lower back still needs a lot of work. First time I've taken a video of my form since I started training so this is very helpful to me. Any advice would be appreciated. damn it doesn't show in the video but I'm wearing a TL t-shirt | ||

I'm not the best about technique though, so maybe somebody else can comment... | ||

Holy cow, that was way harder than I expected: Deadlift: 100x4, 120x2, 136x5, 157.5x5 178.5x9 85x10-10-10-10-10 The five sets at 85kg at the end of the work-out sound so easy, but damn that's a lot of reps. And Power Clean: 90kg 2-2 PR, yay. Fucked my shoulder up a little bit during the press yesterday, so couldn't do much volume on PCs. why the hell is 90kg your 2rm power clean? You can squat 200kg all day you should be powercleaning 120kg ez. man up malinor. | ||

I have no excuses unfortunately. Well, at least 90 racked easily, there should be quite some room before I run into problems. It's just work in progress and not too high on my priority list. | ||

- Soccer after squatting hurts. - Not being able to afford food due to lack of funds and losing 3 kg over 3 weeks sucks. (Gonna eat like mad now that I do have money) - Bench to keep the GF quiet. | ||

I think the problem is that you're driving your hips up well, but you're leaving your body in place so then you kinda have to good morning it up. I think you'll be able to attest that these reps feel a lot harder and not really "clean". Only really happens on the last few reps though. Yo XuoriG, I just realized you go to McGill, we should work out some time :p | ||
