Finished 2k row as warmup for lifting today in 7:10 and still had some left in the tank. Looking to push it into sub-7 minute territory.

Re: buttwink

Working on internal and external rotation of the hip has helped me a lot. Search youtube for kelly starret or others talking about internal and external rotation of the hips to help you work on that. A lot of it for me was sitting in lotus position and then sitting in camel(?) where your hips are internally rotated.

Today was a pretty good day. Just recovered from my 2 week flu, and managed to hit a rep PR of 130kg*5, previously only got it for a double. Unfortunately I forgot to press the record button before my set

But I do have a 125kg*5 video, and I'm using a belt because a friend wanted to switch to an Inzer and he sold me his Titan Toro Bravo for like $50. Don't know if I should be using a belt right now though. Anyway can I get a form check + butt wink inspection?

Your back is doing a ton of work bro. Your hips are rising much faster than your shoulders and you are basically doing squat mornings. It can be done but as you go up in weight I feel like the injury risk increases.

Alright thanks for the form check! What should I do to fix it? Is it a technique issue or muscle imbalance sort of thing? I think its mostly my technique though

I wouldn't call it a muscle imbalance so much as a mobility issue. Need a video from a different angle to tell really. Basically you want your torso to remain more upright. The reps with the belt actually look better, at least for a hip dominant, bent over powerlifting style squat, so it's possible you aren't focusing on keeping your core tight.

Your back is rounding a lot on the descent and you are leaning forward too much. I would suggest maybe doing front squats for awhile. I have found that front squats have helped me correct my posture and form while back squatting. I dunno, you might want to give it a try.

Not quite a PR (very close to my previous best though), but I finally made it to 300x6 on deadlifts! I'm basically at the end of my second six week cycle, and I've finally made it to or progressed past all of my previous maxes.

Squat: 175x6x3 --> 210x6x3
Deadlift: 225x6x2 --> 300x6
Bench: 145x6x3 --> 170x6x3
OHP: 115x6x1
Row: 175x6

I definitely had another rep or two on the first set of squats today, but the second set was very tough so I rested more going into the third set. Tomorrow I'll test out where my 1rm is for pullups (hopefully it's around 70-75 lbs).

Not taking proper care of it in the offseason?

Re: cutting vs. bulking, like MtlGuitarist, and anyone who isn't already heavier than 200 lbs



It's funny how they talk about getting psyched up for big lifts with loud, fast music when they were younger, but now they like to chill a bit more in their workouts. Same thing happened to me. Used to get super worked up when I was doing powerlifting. Put on the Rosetta Stone album in the back room, splash the chalk everywhere, and get ready to squat. Now I just prefer a chiller gym experience.

Used to get super worked up when I was doing powerlifting. Put on the Rosetta Stone album in the back room, splash the chalk everywhere, and get ready to squat. Now I just prefer a chiller gym experience.

How heavy should I be willing to get? I'm really short (5'6", maybe 5'7"), and not particularly lean at the moment at ~160-162 lbs. Should I just try to eat around maintenance and get enough protein each day, or should I actually try to gain weight?

These are my goals to hit by the end of the summer. They'll hopefully be attainable in three months, but who knows.

Squat 210x6 --> 265x6 (projected max of 251 to projected max of 317)
Bench Press 170x6 --> 200x6
Deadlift 300x6 --> 345x6 (projected max of 405)
OHP 115x6 --> 130x6

I have around 14-15 weeks to hit my goals. Deadlift should be pretty attainable if I do 5 lbs per week for as long as possible, same with squats. Bench I'll probably stick to 2.5 lbs per week and hope that I can get to 200x6.

If you want to be adding 5 lbs a week to your lifts over the summer you should be eating way over maintenance imo. Don't eat shit obviously, but you should be eating an extra serving of meat and potatoes (or fish and rice or whatever) with plenty of quality butter and oil past the point you are no longer hungry. I basically spent the better part of 5 years in a constant bulking state, which means that I was constantly forcing myself to eat even when not hungry. If you are super worried about getting "too fat" just add in some light cardio and make sure you are getting enough sleep. I think those two things alone are the most important factors in "healthy" bulking.

That depends on your goals. If your goal is literally just get as strong as possible then just keep eating. Aesthetic wise, at 5'10 I'd never want to be 200 lbs; my goal is much closer to around 170.

You really understimate the weight of huge legs and back. Tian Tao is 170cm 5'7, 86kg (190 pounds) and doesn't look huge at all. (FWIW I'm kinda same size but I look a lot bigger because of more bodyfat, bigger back/arms and def less legs)

Klokov was 6 foot and 230 pounds when I met him. Thickest guy I've ever seen, he looked like a refrigarator with limps.

You should just lift weights, gain weight staying reasonably lean and find the look that suits you.

That said, at 5 10 and 170 pounds you are just skinny.
