Those are both helpful cues  It's similar to splitting the earth for squatting. You still want to torque your feet (breaking the bar) of course.Having some issues with deep squats. In my constant struggle to figure out my SI issues I'm pretty sure deep squats are what aggravate it. Need to look into some pelvic tilt control stuff or something... deadlift, ghr, leg press are no problem but if I squat full range of motion with just the bar or try a snatch it's gg for the rest of the day. Also getting some posterior lateral knee pain in my reconstructed acl knee. pretty sure it's where I had meniscus dmg :\ also only hurts in deep flexion. | ||

I believe I was at around 102kg when I started out properly, but in about 5-6 months I had lost 12kg down to 90kg. I was impatient, I raced the last couple of kilos, and by the end I was completely fed up with eating nothing and seeing all my precious lifts drop. So, I went on a dirty bulk. About a month into it I screwed up both my arms somehow (something to do with the way I twisted them up when doing lowbar squats). This meant I could basically only squat, but I kept on with the dirty bulk anyway because big macs are fucking delicious. This is me around November 2012, something like 104kg shortly before I achieved 3x5x100kg in squats: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Qn550Jt.jpg) At the start of 2013 I went something like "fucking hell, goddamnit" and started slowly dieting again. I took it real easy this time in order to not burn myself out, so I still ate shitty foods, I just cut down on the amounts. That summer I looked alright, somewhere around 92-93kg I think, and I was focusing on other stuff, because it was summer and summer is awesome. So I gained a couple kilograms back up to about 97-98kg until somewhere around september where I started to half-ass diet again down to 92kg, just in time for christmas and new years and om nom nom I fucking love chocolate back up to 96kg. I've set one goal in stone for myself since a couple years back however, and that is to not enter my thirties without a sixpack. My birthday is in june, and this is what I look like right now, 88kg after about a month of serious dieting: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Qhe8Vgo.jpg) I'm gonna enter my thirties with a sixpack, goddamnit, and I'm never taking it off. Never again dirty bulk. I'll post another update on my birthday =) | ||

 In all honesty he is just a bear of a man. It's impressive but it's not like I'd pick that physique over all others. It's more like I'll shoot for that and end up at Zac Efron levels lol. | ||

But physique is all down to preference. What some people think is ideal, others think is awful. Which is why if you just train for yourself and what makes you happy, you can never go wrong | ||

WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? Not really surprised, Klokov is big to the point of it being intimidating/unrelatable. I'd be more surprised if they said that about someone with a physique like Lu Xiaojun. | ||

WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? Have you seen klokov's wife? Alpha bear man did well for himself. Those girls are just lying to themselves obv. They might be overestimating him, he's probably around ~110kg which is smaller than anyone you'd really consider freakish looking in the NFL or WWE | ||

So had to take a week off (T_T) to study for my grade exam (and get drunk 3 days in a row afterwards) Will get back to oly lifting for a month or so untill I have to prepare for my next meet if my shoulder allows. Clean up to 85kg, FS 100x3x3 lol. Clean felt super easy but the jerk was off (jerked up to 70 only) | ||

And yes, Klokov's wife is very beautiful I honestly think they have a skewed perception then considering Zac Effron is probably about the same weight as Lu Xiaojun. I realize we probably all have a bias here towards wanting to think girls find more muscular men attractive, but I don't think I'm biased in saying that. Although if they actually prefer skinnier guys like Zac Efron then I'm in luck because that's essentially my bodytype already. | ||
