Another issue is that finding a new and improved version of the doping you use will decide whether you win or not. Yes, some people respond better to doping than others, but it's in the same sense that some people are naturally inclined to any given sport in the first place. It's really trading one set of advantaged people for another set. I always think of it as hilarious when people go on a crusade against certain people using PEDs in sports, like the manning/HGH thing from earlier this football season. If only people really understood how many people in pro sports are actually on something. | ||

If you have long legs, your knees will come a little bit further forward to compensate. If you want athletic carry over squat with a hybrid setup, and if you want to be a weightlifter, squat high bar; your knees will come even further forward to compensate. All three of them will be a little bit more difficult, but it absolutely doesn't matter, because it's not like you're going to be able to do anything that will change your proportions. Pick a style, and grind it out. If you aren't squatting over 500 pounds and feel like something is holding you back, it's something else besides lever lengths. I'm 6'4, I have long legs, and I let that be (part of) my excuse for far too long, when the real problem was too little sleep (especially this) a poor routine and just not pushing myself hard enough. Kinda what I figured. Thanks to you guys who replied. My squat form was terrible until 2 weeks ago, I deloaded back to like 90lbs and am now grinding back up again because I just caved as soon as I got down to the bottom of the squat. For some reason though, my right hip hurts on my first 3 squat sets.. After warmup and maybe one working weight set it's gone, but my left hip has no issues. It seems my right hip is slightly more mobile too based off stretches I do. Should I be concerned? It's actual pain in the hole - not ''tightness'' or ''soreness''. | ||

Just went to the gym to get a sweat going and kept putting on weight and finally nailed 232. Felt like nothing, didn't even grind through the sticking point. Got a meet coming in 3 weeks to qualify for nationals so I'll take this as a good sign ^_^ Wait, is this 2016 or did I accidentally open up the 2012 thread? | ||

I think being tired or otherwise not 100% (as long as you're not physically injured/ debilitated) gives a mindset that helps. + Show Spoiler + Not exactly weightlifting, but I remember one time in college when I was a RA and had been up for ~20 hours preparing for a freshman welcome thing-- basically each hall does a coordinated thing to music so was running around all day for rehearsals and stuff. After we won second place I somehow managed to pick up my friend + his girlfriend and spin them around without much effort. I'm going to guess they're about 250 - 300 lbs combined. I squat like 180 for reference. | ||

Honestly it's probably over 50% I figured it would slow down as my PRs got higher and it gets relatively harder every time to hit a new PR but it really hasn't lol On January 23 2016 06:55 phyre112 wrote: Wait, is this 2016 or did I accidentally open up the 2012 thread?

Today I wanted to yolo and try to see how much squatting strength I lost, but happy I can still match my PR of 4 plates. How's it look? | ||

The thing is I am around 130ish lbs, 5'7, and a hard gainer with very low BMI. On top of that I am also a committed vegan which means I don't eat any animal products (meat, cheese, eggs, etc.) Due to these constraints and past experience I think it would be unrealistic for me to try to get buff or bulky... so I have decided that I am interested in aiming for a skinny ripped physic (sometimes called "otter-mode"). What I am curious about is if anyone has any links to any resources that could help me. Most fitness stuff I see isn't very helpful for me since it's either geared towards getting buff, losing weight, or a non-vegan diet. If anyone could give me any guidance it would be greatly appreciated, thanks  | ||

What you need to do is lift progressively heavier loads starting with good technique with wathever you can start and put on some muscle. Look for "Starting Strength" online. | ||

Same rules apply to you as they do to everyone. If you eat more you will be able to put on more muscle. You can still hit your fat/carb/protein requirements, it's just going to be a bit harder/more expensive as a vegan. As gotunk! said a general progressive loading program like starting strength is generally the best place for people to start if you want to get stronger and add muscle (which will lead to better physique). I'm not sure how you plan on getting 'skinny ripped' if you think getting buff or losing weight aren't helpful to you :-p | ||

Hmm I might have misconceptions about working out and I'm sorry. When I last worked out I was told by a personal trainer that I had to eat what sounded like a ridiculous amount of protein to bulk up and honestly it was not something I could sustain on my diet. I'm just trying to see if there are other types of body ideal to aim for that aren't as protein intensive. | ||
