 Basically push the lacrosse ball into your abs using a counter/desktop of some sort (the difference being its not a flat surface so you can bring your hips and chest further than the ball and really get it into the muscle. The psoas are deep and harder to get to but man you have no idea how tight they are until you get in there | ||

If you're new to the program, maybe go ahead and skip this one, but don't skip the next one around, and if you start to get too many of those nagging pains or feel too beat up, just take the deload week a little bit out of order. Experiment. On the lunges note, I don't do them often, but make sure you're keeping your knee in the proper position, not letting it collapse in, keeping your trunk upright and pointed forward, and keeping the weight balanced on your heel, a lot like you would in the squat. | ||

Squat 145kg Deadlift 140kg (I'm probably the only one that squats more than DL -.-) Bench 90kg OHP 57.5kg I'd rate myself novice who just transitioned into an intermediate program. I think I'm relatively strong but I'm still fat as hell because I just recently finally got my mindset concerning my Diet in check. (87kg @170cm) So my primary goal at the moment is to lose about 10-12 kg of fat till my birthday in february. I think I'd be relatively happy if still have these same liftnumbers while being 15kg lighter. | ||

Weight loss goal seems a bit ambitious. 1lb/week is probably a more reasonable goal for most people. | ||

The 140 lb squat is still looking like a squat-morning, but it's getting better. Thanks a ton to both IgnE and BenKen  | ||

You and I are still a ways away from achieving <10% bodyfat but you will love how will begin to look before then. Til then, don't worry about it, and keep focusing on eating right and lifting heavier and heavier. @mtl Yeah the 140 lb squats towards the end had you folding over a bit. You kinda have to pose yourself as an Olympic God to really own it and prevent the folding, I like to check myself by asking my legs if they could push the weight up without asking my torso to move in anyway on the way up, otherwise I'll just drop the bar on the safety rack and miss the rep. That's just my way of doing it though, it's up to you how you want to look at it. Also I don't know if anyone has said anything, but I think you can go a little lower on the squats. To me it looks like just above parallel, anyone else have an opinion on this? Sigh, my father and mother are becoming alcoholics guys, my father is practically already one. Tonight I had to calm my father down and stop him from arguing with my mom accusing her of cheating with random old men and whatnot when I know for a fact that it just isn't possible (does mental health initiatives count at all in this forum section?). I was really sad, this once proud and strong man is now old, overworked, and now almost seemingly on the bridge of mental deterioration... But I still went to the gym. Maybe it's my escape now. But I'm so glad I go lift shit now more than ever. Right after putting my father to bed and promising to take care of him as he got older, I grabbed my keys and went straight up to the Temple of Iron. Idc about my body and how it looks, I just wanted to lift and remind myself that I'm still alive and have my whole life ahead of me. The thing about the gym is... it's always there. The iron is always there for you and waiting for you to pick it up and put it down. After a set sometimes I think to myself that I'm not just lifting weight, but improving myself as a person inside. Some days I'm not strong enough to handle the stress of family and life, but by lifting I literally prove to myself that I can be a better person the next day than I was the day before. The weight doesn't lie to you, the numbers don't lie to you. After what happened today, I went to the gym and went to an old weight on the bench I used to be afraid of. The 115lb benchpress, Two 35 plates. I lifted it with ease, and instantly I regained confidence in myself, to go on another day. | ||
