Workset was heavy as shit, grunted like Tarzan at the top and only managed 4 reps before my form started deteriorating. Acceptable, but was a bit disappointed seeing as how 100kg last week had felt so light. Anyway, I did my RPT with two more sets of -10% (pretty easy) and then I removed the weights. Turns out I used 25s instead of 20s and accidentally lifted 115kg. Today was a good day. hah, i should be 115 next session , the race is on | ||

So y'know how there are two things you could be doing with toilette? Well I did the number 2 on that list, and I did it BIG. And now my stomach have been killing me for the past 30 minutes. And my gym session is suppose to happen in half an hour! Do I go or do I take a break from it to recuperate? Oh god the pain. wtf never heard of this before i would go sit back on the toilet and make sure you got everything out try smoking a cigarette (or sucking your thumb/inhaling through your fingers), this will help produce | ||

I was listening to it today while I biked to rugby practice, and I'll probably have it on my playlist when I head into practice and to lift weights (and at work, and at second practice, and cleaning my basement) tomorrow. Damn I have a busy day ahead of me, I should get some sleep. Pumped as hell to get back to the gym tomorrow; the hours are back to the semester schedule, so I'll pretty much be able to go any day that I want to. Get to do my "pull" strength day, so it's squats, pullups, and rows for ever and ever! Yeah, I've been trying to find that song somewhere.... | ||

Unless you're saying "football" as in soccer, and the you mean the girls team I don't think this is the same team. Girls high school volleyball team would be (at least imo) the same problem I was having earlier this summer with the dual-membership between my gym and the dance studio next door. 16-19 year old girls in spandex and leg warmers. Not conducive to focus. | ||

Is this primarily due to not lifting my chest enough and tightening my core or is it because I am trying to go too deep? My stance is a good shoulder width apart and my mate didn't notice anything at lower weights it was only during working sets. Any good helpful tips to avoid this as I am sure it's not a good thing? sounds like you have "butt-wink". I think this is mostly caused by inflexibility in your hamstrings, but I might be wrong. | ||

Mobility of everything hips and below as well as keeping chest up will help resolve your problem more commonly known as butt-wink. Keeping the chest up is usually a combination of concentration and how you've loaded the bar on your back. Vids will help us assess. Also working on mobility is always good. I personally try and make sure my hips spend some time below the knees in a third world squat everyday to maintain hip mobility. I have heard form some people that butt wink removes itself given enough training. You don't want to avoid going deep. If going that deep causes joint pain, I'd rather you reduce weight and work on getting depth with a good form. | ||

My friend had this issue pretty bad. Reason was his form was a bastardized mixture of high-bar and low-bar. Fixed it just thinking about sitting back in a chair. | ||
