Stiff leg DL or RDL pretty much can't be beat for isolating the hamstrings and lower back, and if he were going to fail, he can simply drop the weight to the ground. Is there a reason he can't just squat, though? | ||

I don't think he has too many mobility restrictions, but he doesn't have the best feet and consequently balance. I just don't know if it's feasible to get him on one of those machines where you lay on your stomach and I'm not sure if he could put enough weight on for something like a good morning to be effective without risking falling. If standing up from a chair is too easy (basically a bodyweight squat) then have him go to the stairs in his house and practice getting up from 2 stairs or 1 stair. That's the easiest method of having him progress with bodyweight squats which hit the quads, hammies, and glutes well. | ||

He's not doing it because he's trying to isolate those hammies broooooo. He's 60 and has bad knees and feet. Thanks for the suggestions, though, and @eshlow. | ||

Any idea what I could be doing wrong? I mean its possible that I have an injury but I think that its more likely that theres something amiss with my form (?). Anyone have a clue? I used to get pain there alot when i was benching with my elbows flared out. Keeping them tucked in now and i don't feel anything.

Something I'm fairly certain isn't that common at bb.com + Show Spoiler + broooooo | ||

With slightly raised heels, I don't even feel any stress on my body when I squat, but when I have my feet flat I just completely topple over when I get to the bottom of the squat. I just want to know what I should specifically work on with mobility. For most people, ankle mobility is the main issue but usually people fall back, not forward. Do you have any videos from the side? | ||

I guess I should've clarified more. ieatkids is right in saying that I kind of lean forward to avoid falling over, and that I do fall back. I should have said that I collapse forward and then kind of topple backwards. | ||

I'm not always going to get perfect variables in line so what do you think is most important? Should I really load up on those carbs 2-3 hours beforehand no matter what? Another thing I'm not sure about is resting on a chest day before that session, which would be giving a week of rest to those pecs. Would that actually help or would it be better to follow the same routine and keep my pecs always juiced up throughout the week (I bench press twice a week normally)? | ||

You should ask GoTunk! or IgnE how they bench, pretty sure they have the highest bench of anyone on these forums. | ||

My main goal atm is to be able to do the splits, I can get below parallel in the squat fine, though could still improve on my squat depth. | ||
