Deadlifts is the one exercise that i have basically not improved since joining cf my 1 rep max is 200kgs. A friend once recommended opening my legs up more having a wider stance and i have been doing that but still about the same. I'm 1'92 in height any thoughts on how wide legs should be or is whatever is more comfortable for me ok? | ||

Your legs should be as close together as you can without having your glutes and thighs interfering with your lockout. Post a video for more pointers. | ||

What lower body exercises can you do with just a barbell, some light dumbbells, a squat rack, some light resistance bands, and a bench? I'm thinking about doing a pistol squat progression from a seated position on the bench, maybe doing some barbell hip thrusts, and obviously squat/deadlift variations. I don't think I have enough weight/space to make dumbbell lunges a viable option, but I'm not really sure what else you can do for your lower body other than the aforementioned exercises. Any thoughts? Overall I'm pretty happy with my progression and excited to say that I've really only missed two workouts out of the last two months working out at least 4x/week. | ||

Also back at 3 plates DL and just shy of 2xBW DL. Tried benching again but my left shoulder is still a complete mess. If I can get it into place I can easily rep out 90kg, but at some point inevitably my scapula slides out from under my back and I can't get it retracted again and can't even lift BW anymore with the useless left side. Saturday I will climb Wildspitze, Austria's second highest peak at 3800m. Pretty excited but somewhat worried my weak cardio endurance will leave my collapsed in the snow somewhere. | ||

Smolov works because of high volume, high intensity and and squat specialization. (you can't train oly lifting or deadlifts) That said, 25kg increase in a 4 week period is prolly too ambitious. Keep your training as you are now, and once you are at 160 go for smolov base cycle. Smolov Jr. is the cry baby version, dont do it. | ||

Plus, there might be a meet at the end of the year, so I can use my first meet to snipe that record :^) Def go for it. Make sure the meet you will attend can validate your record. You can try 171 I think. 172,5kg for sure. | ||

I'll have limited access to bumper plates over the summer but I still have everything else, so I was wondering what you guys think the best use of my time would be? Current back squat is 112kg, front 93kg for reference. My goal is obviously to get as strong as possible and also gain a bunch of weight, but I don't know what routine to follow. Bw is around 69kg. Squat, Deadlift, Benches, OHP and pull ups are the way to a strong and big body. If you add 50kg to your back squat your oly lifts will go up fast once you start practicing them again. | ||

Do you think a linear program or something like 5/3/1 would be more beneficial for me at this point? | ||

Thinking about using a more conservative max (140kg instead of 145kg), and then maybe training tris+bis because I'm vain like that? Sounds good? | ||
