Just remind her that the lack of size in the back is compensated by the abundance of size in the front. Then ask which she would prefer. ;-)

I prefer to do them on a incline bench at a slight angle. That seems to help quite a bit but today there was no available bench :(

My thinking on max pump is a couple things. Cycling off nitrates for the first time in about three months for one. For two epi, tren and max pump and GVT combined sounds like epic pain pumps. Added endurance post cycle is a plus

His pre workout sucks but it's a funny video :P

My lyrics are tight. And I sing like an angel.
 
Alright.....here are a couple videos of my GVT squats today. I never used this squat bar before but I like it lol. And before anyone says "ohhh sissy", whatever, I don't give a crap lol. I aint trying to win no big balls awards or squat 900000 lbs.

Basicly Im wanting some input on my form. My depth is nothing to write home about I know. Just trying to find some advice on what I might do to take some pressure off of the knees so it doesn't feel like they are about to blow the fk out. I think the issue with depth is mental because of that. At the bottom on the way up you can see a hitch in my knees....that's what im worried about.

The first thing I see is that your knees track inside of your feet. Make a conscious effort to press your knees outwards as you sit back. That way your knees don't buckle and your weight stays on the outside of your feet, instead of shifting to the inside.

This. Open the hips, shoot the knees out, screw the feet. Try narrowing your stance a little to get that feeling of opening your hips.

Ever think about using olympic shoes and/or flat shoe with a hard sole like chucks? Reebok's are nice. I have a pair myself, but not stable enough to squat in. Once I switched to olympic shoes, the difference for me was amazing.

Funny, I just made this suggestion to him via text.
 
As far as the squatting goes the depth was fine for body building purposes. You could probably adjust it up or down a little for knee safety. One thing to keep in mind is for knee health it is much safer to either go a little above, or a little below parallel with squatting. Your knees are at the weakest and most stressful angle at 90 degrees so it is healthier to change directions either just above or below parallel.

You look sick in your avi!
 
What I've found to be the case with myself and my training partners is that knee pain manifests itself when the knees come forward in the squat. Any time the knees come forward, there are tremendous shear forces on the knee joint. To help with the knee pain, you're going to want to keep as vertical of shins as possible. We accomplish this by, as has been said, forcing the knees out.

A simple "knees out" cue often doesn't do the trick, though. What works for me is "screw your feet into the floor". For others, it's "spread the floor". And sitting back a little more will also help you to both stay on your heels AND keep a little more vertical shin. Your quad involvement will be lessened to some degree, but that'll ramp back up as your depth increases and the weight moved goes up.

As you're not looking to compete in powerlifting anytime soon (I think?), there's no real need to push depth, just take what you get. You might be humbled at first if your hips can't take the load, but I've found that the hips increase in strength very rapidly, so you'll soon be moving much more weight than before.

Vibram five fingers I think

Oh, I own a pair of those. Try running in them. You'll use muscles you've never used before. They're actually pretty functional. It's easy to be disenchanted by what you don't understand, though (not referring to you Mountain).

I have 2 pair lol (1 pair no longer fits).


Sprints, squats, DL, etc.
 
I lift in wrestling shoes, same basic concept of just a lil rubber under the sole of the foot. I don't think I could deal with Vibrams, not a big fan of stuff between my toes. Even flip flops bother me.

Yeah, that feeling takes a bit to get used to, but they'll actually help to straighten your toes out some too. Kinda neat.
