I mean, I can still get full ROM on a squat, so I ignore it sometimes, but today I couldn't go...the pain was not extreme but enough to be worrisome. Not just soreness, it seems to me. Sharp pain. Rest and Ice up? Man up and just go next time? I fear it has to do with my squats...occasionally what'll happen is when powering back up from a below-parallel squat, I'll feel like I've gone too fast, or, and this is probably worse, feel like my knees are unbending at a slightly different rate. How important is maintaining a steady speed, or unbending your knees at EXACTLY the same time? I don't know why it happens, it just sometimes seems to happen. Take a form video, send it to us. Focus on keeping your knees in line with your toes, not letting them "cave in" and make sure to keep tension in your legs through the movement. Don't "bounce" at the bottom or the top unless you really know what you're doing. I would reset the weight ~20 pounds, and work on form for a week or so, then start working up from there. Better to take it slow, imo than stop completely or to try and push through it. | ||

TL;DR as a tall guy training to compete at some point, should I be squatting low bar and focussing on Raw powerlifting, or just getting strong at Cleans and squatting high bar? | ||

 3 of the callouses on my fingers opened when i did deadlifts . tried to finish my last set after putting on some banaids but failed miserably (our gym doesn't have wrist straps).if i were to get a wrist strap, would i be able to resume deadlifts again? or should i wait until the wounds close? | ||

You add weight by putting dumbbell in-between your feet like you would with dumbbell chin-ups for example.handstand push ups will help build strength to a certain extent. once you start doing 3x5 comfortably you're gonna have to increase your reps/weight (how do you add weight to a handstand pushup lol? ankle weights?) in order to keep building strength. | ||

What are your goals? HSPUs can always be made harder -- use parallettes to increase range of motion, or work on them free standing (though you need a solid freestanding handstand) or work on straight arm presses. It's also possible to add a weight vest and whatnot as well. | ||

Im 18 and im rather busy, im out and about a lot and was wondering what the best thing for me to help lose a little bit of stomach fat would be. More fruits and vegetables and lean meats, eggs, fish, birds These foods are less calorie dense and thus will fill you up better without as many calories Less cereals, breads, pastas, etc which are calorie dense plus have inferior nutritional qualities compared to fruits and vegetables | ||

Also I want to add weighted dips, should I do that on bench press days? If you're going to add something to SS (if that's what you're doing) then you should add in pullups. Mayyyybe dips... but bench and press... AND dips can be a lot. But you can try it I guess.... I won't vouch for your progress if it stalls faster though because adding stuff to set programs can be an issue | ||

I have a pretty balanced build, maybe slightly longer legs than usual. With no oly coach, possibility to OHP a bumper plate or snatch it for the next three yars, does it make sense that I squat high bar ATG? I always did it because it seems pretty badass and the most natural motion. TL;DR as a tall guy training to compete at some point, should I be squatting low bar and focussing on Raw powerlifting, or just getting strong at Cleans and squatting high bar? Do whatever you like the most! (hopefully olympic lifting!) | ||
