I'll just follow what it says I've always heard people go back and forth on loading or not loading. It's cheap enough that I guess you might as well? 25g the first day spread into 5 doses. 4 doses the second. 3 the third. 2 the 4th, then 5g a day indefinitely. As Igne said, taken post workout with something that spikes insulin (carbs or whey or BCAAs) you'll get better absorption. | ||

If you want to really optimize it, however, uptake is highest after a workout with an insulin spike. | ||

Unfortunately now I am running into the same issue that made me stop doing low bar 2 years ago: I get this insane pain in both of my arms. Basically my entire arm hurts, with intense spots just below the elbow and below the shoulder. It's so bad I can't do any push or pulling after, and keeps hurting for several days. I have really no idea what the hell I am doing wrong. I take so much care to not ever hold the bar with my hands. I believe I have a very good overall setup and I feel very confident about squatting in general. But still my arms get this stupid pain at weights 90kg and more. Lower weights or high bar at any weight and I have zero problems. Any ideas? Is there something like a nerve in the shoulder than I might press on with the bar that could cause this pain? | ||

I got crazy armpain as well when I did lowbar, and I put it down to the way I twisted my arms back to steady the bar. If not a nerv, maybe it has something to do with interrupting bloodflow? | ||

Solution: don't low bar back squat | ||

Keep your head in line with your back. I thought it felt easy too, but then when I tried to do more reps I couldn't even pull the bar off the floor, lol. Next time I deadlift I'll try to go a bit heavier. Also, was my back in an acceptable position in terms of rounding? Sometimes I see people saying that even having your back rounded to that degree is really bad for you, but it feels really hard to keep my back properly arched when the weight gets heavier. | ||

There is no such thing as max effort deadlifts with straight back. Just remember to keep abs as tight as possible and squeezing ur butt trough the entire lift; what you want to avoid is extra rounding of the back as you pull. A good cue for the head is to "drive your head into your traps" | ||
