tomorrow ill try to video my first attempt at loaded deadlifts with mob (or any deadlifts lol)
notably today it looks like i got my massively-lagging right ankle past the "bone barrier" and now can just do straight stretching rather than "i hope i'm not about to break my ankle" stretching
edit: also i self-absolute-ban myself from energy drink starting today :r
i'm more of a lurker here but i often look at this thread as it's very interesting.
A question i have is on the back squat - as I get close to my PR in weight my upper back tends to arch quite a bit going up - is that ok? Semi-heavy weight I maintain a pretty decent form w/o arching but as i get close to my max it always arches. It doesn't hurt for me at all neither when I do it or afterwards but I just get scared of it being bad form and possibly causing some injury.
Someone suggested to me today to try and close my grip a bit forcing a more neutral back (seems like i would lose a little balance but idk gonna try i guess)
wow Americas Next Top Model s21e09 this week.... one of the contenders is an ex-football pro and is slightly more buff than the other 5 guys who are all insanely buff to begin with...
the judges this week told him like 6 times over the episode that he "has to lose some of his muscle" and "why hasn't he been doing cardio to lose some of his muscle? you had a whole week and the house is big enough to run in isn't it?"
fucking lame ass shit..... they've never said such retarded shit before, i am frankly shocked. poor guy had to just bite his lip. fucking fat retard kelly catrone thinks you can "run off muscle in a week" which he spent 20 years developing just because he is negligably more muscular than the other bodybuilder contestants.

Try to mantain your upper back tighter, closing the grip might help.
It is very unlikely to ever injure your upper back, never fear!

Do you have long legs and are you doing low bar squat? If you are, the arch could be a result of you trying to stay too upright, you might be fighting the need to lean forward more.
I don't think it can easily cause injury though. It is just an inefficient way to squat.

You guys should play a couple games of rugby just to put your workout DOMS in perspective lol.
Today FS + 3sec pause at bottom 2x315 325 335 345x 335 Press 4x6 @ 125 close grip bench with skull crusher super set Side planks + leg raises - these are what the fuck hard. Everyone should do these to get a bit more glute activation.
The sorest I've ever been was after playing water polo; that shit was some of the most intense physical activity I've ever done, and I had done boxing workouts for years prior lol.
Yeah, except I can't do them nearly that well rofl.
And yeah my pressing as gone to shit so I'm adding a lot more back in, starting low, and trying to work up with a linear progression. Mixing it up a bit between BTN Snatch press, OHP, Push press, sots press, etc. Oh and go do a few sets of 40kg sots press from the front rack and we'll talk (i need my strength to catch up with my mobility lol)

Will try them my next workout for warming up.
And the frontRack 40kg sots press :D should be fun as hell :D
Do them at the end unless you want your hips wrecked while you're doing squats lol. For glutes warmup just do some light activation like a few sets of fire hydrants/side leg lifts/monster walks/clamshells/etc. Save the higher reps/resistance for the end of your workout.

I'm keeping my mobility low on purpose until after my powerlifting competition. I'll keep adding to my muscle snatch (75kg PR today) and PC & PP (will report back), so now sot press ;(.
