yeah squats arent that hard imo. but yeah, risk of injury is always there of course. its just kind of a stupid arguments not to do squats and go play basketball instead imo but lets move on
Had a nice repout on the 1+ squat day, 72.5kgx11. I'm still really slow out of the hole though, the empty bar goes almost as fast as 70kg. Does anyone know any good exercises for working on speed from the bottom?
@ Sjarl or someone else who's done coan/phillipi So I've decided to do Coan/Phillipi, both because I want to break 200kg and because I can't really do any overhead/bench stuff right now.
Some Questions: Am I understanding the program right in that you only work out once per week? Also my current PR is 180kgx2, would 200kg be a good target or should I go for less/more? How much did you increase your deadlift by doing coan/phillipi?
You deadlift once per week and do some other stuff on the off days. But deadlifting will be your main priority and sometimes you'll have to skip the other workouts to be able to recover properly.
Going from 180x2 -> 200 is entirely doable. In a year I managed to get my deadlift from 160kg to 225kg x 2. Ran it twice.

Cool, GL man! Let's show the iron who's boss. LIGHT WEIGHT!
Today I saw someone who had a different interpretation of the shoulder dislocations exercise, he was using the pulling the cable row from horizontal to vertical. Once he got it vertical he released all tension to let his arm go up again and get a full blow on the shoulder. Painful to watch such things.
My training is going nicely, squatting 90kg and deadlifting 110kg now so I'm pretty happy with that. Can't wait till I hit the 100kg on the squat!
Chalk up another PR for me in 2012, DL 295X5 and got a new max 315X1. Pretty conservative on the max, but itll make me happy again the next time I try to max out and beat it .
I decided to throw my forearm exercises out of my workout. I do many big lifts, and even though my forearms aren't big, they're pretty strong and hold up well in all my lifts. Although I somewhat want to find something to replace that void, even though a shorter workout would be nice.
Anyways, what I came up with, is I'd like to do some core work. Right now I do 2 compound lifts per day and usually 5 isolation, and I've never worked my abs before besides some decline weighted sit-ups when I was starting out. I'm not sure how many of you guys actually do core exercises because squat and dead-lift does a good job apparently, but some leg-raises or something might be good, also I'd want to target my obliques a bit too. So if you recommend it or don't recommend it, let me know (:
