Congrats on the PR. Hell of an odd soundtrack for that number!!!
I was going to respond but you said everything i was going to say and a little more. Never thought of the planks for aiding in the squats in that way.Congrats on the PR! 500 shouldn’t be too far off now.
It’s hard to diagnose the cause of butt wink in person, let alone online with not a ton of info, but here we go…
First is it even actual butt wink? Is the spine going from extended to neutral or actually going neutral to rounded. If he’s focusing on pushing back to far and hard or arching into it too much he may just be reverting back to neutral at a certain depth.
You could do quadruped hip rocker test to see if it’s an actual structural issue or mobility. If he can do the rocker fine it means it’s more likely an issue of coordination and stability.
1) you can hammer some front and side planks before and in between sets. Focus on really bracing the core. This should help teach the positions and tension required to hold the right position. I often have people do these when they first learn squats as a superset.
2) You mentioned goblet, but loading anteriorly is my first go to when learning to squat. He can even push the weight out a little in front to force slightly more upright posture and force bracing the core more.
3) Next you could just start with a high box tap and work his way down to lower positions as he gains control and can maintain further. Set it where he would start to wink and work there and lower slightly as he gets better. Can be done with out a box as well just being conscious of consistent depths with good back position before moving on.
Hope that helps, there’s a few other ideas, but tough without knowing his leverages and seeing or visualizing it better.
Ya its something I stole from Dean Somerset what has to be like 15 years ago now. Especially with younger and novice lifters, I kind of live by having to "earn" movement. Therefore lots of initial isometrics to teach body positions that we need and planks and side planks can help ingrain that and proper tension needed for bigger lifts down the road.I was going to respond but you said everything i was going to say and a little more. Never thought of the planks for aiding in the squats in that way.
Ya I honestly wouldn't sweat it a ton right away. Younger/newer lifters are learning lots of body positioning at the start, sometimes this stuff gets better just over time as they do the movements more (this is not me advocating being lazy and not caring about form though).Congrats on that 485 pull! That’s 5 plate club where folks use 20kg plates elsewhere in the world
Resolve said it how I like to do it.
Something I noticed with my stepdaughter is her buttwink is much more pronounced if she has her back overly arched/extended, pushing the butt out too hard.
Also, squatting too deep before you have the requisite strength/stability/mobility is going to promote that. Maybe consider a little ankle mobility along with the bracing work.
Thanks bro.Hope the surgery went well and that she has a smooth recovery. Prayers that she feels well and things proceed in the best possible way.
Well, not sure I deserve it as she's the one with the cancer and basically a breast amputation but I definitely am enjoying a little fresh air even though I feel bad not being at home with her. We get pathology back next week to find out if we are cancer free now, or if we start chemo/radiation.I hate to hear that, but hopefully it resolves what it was meant to resolve, and she recovers perfectly.
I also hope you have a hell of an enjoyable workout. Sounds like you need and deserve it!!!
You have to keep your mind & body strong so you can give her the best support that she deserves.Well, not sure I deserve it as she's the one with the cancer and basically a breast amputation but I definitely am enjoying a little fresh air even though I feel bad not being at home with her.

She heard about Rockets year and she heard about when he was cancer free. I admit, I did not tell her when he passed away. Actually, two other people in my world passed away about the same time from cancer and I didn't tell her. I wanted her mind as strong as possible for surgery and recovery.
Somehow this Elton song popped on mid set from my 70s rock playlist and it hit me hard on the feels. I told my wife it's her song.

Notes
305 felt so damn good, got to about the half way point and got stuck. It didn't come back down, just stuck enough that I could actually tell the spotter to go ahead and take it calmly.. very close.
@GreenMachineX I had every intention of starting with heavy inclines but once I got in the doors the flat bench was calling my name.
I've hit inclines more in 2023 than all my combined incline presses since I started lifting around 1994-1995. It used to hurt my shoulders quite a bit but through practice, rehab and form I have zero pain with them now. Just need to grow em (maybe)

Also, you're reflection is in the mirror...
I must've glossed over that...Just catching up in here, hope your wife's surgery recovery is going smoothly.
Sending prayers for your wife brother.Well, not sure I deserve it as she's the one with the cancer and basically a breast amputation but I definitely am enjoying a little fresh air even though I feel bad not being at home with her.

I do toss them in a fair amount usually between 40lb-60lbs but usually when I'm curling I've been trying to focus on a supinated grip to improve the old tennis ball. I've never in my life built a great ball shaped bicep.Just a thought, do you ever do db hammer curls? Might be a good accessory for stabilization bench wise. In regards to that 305lb PR
I know lol I can start out with some ozzie and all the sudden it just assumes Bonnie Tyler and Elton John fit in with the playlistCongrats on the PR. Hell of an odd soundtrack for that number!!!
I'm finally back to a computer and work today. The last week of taking care of my wife was honestly a pleasure and a week of tending to her went by faster than a week in Mexico or Hawaii, she said that as well. Her recovery seems to be doing really great and it's been inspiring to watch her to be honest.Like Hyde said, you have to take care of yourself, and just because you aren't the one suffering doesn't mean you haven't gone through something with all of this yourself. Hope you enjoyed that round of golf!
Yeah, but all of that good stuff was after the surgery went well, nothing much to worry about there once already home other than spoiling them and loving on them. The time before a big procedure for my wife is when the stress comes for me, not from taking car of her after. That part is nice to be the caretaker for someone you love.I know lol I can start out with some ozzie and all the sudden it just assumes Bonnie Tyler and Elton John fit in with the playlist

That is true. I was a wreck. being honest and human here... constantly holding back tears. the morning of the procedure the oncology surgeon walks in and asks how we're doing (it's about 6:45am, we've been there 2 hours, and operation starts in 15 minutes. 4 months have built to this hour) and I just about lost it. gladly, my wife was chatty and responded and I stayed quite.Yeah, but all of that good stuff was after the surgery went well, nothing much to worry about there once already home other than spoiling them and loving on them.

This is the first time I've brought someone home from the hospital since my son was born. I was taking notes, keeping charts, worried about screwing up drains, meds, etc. checking bandaids. 100% mother hen mode. But I always felt and said that marriage isn't really just about finding a hot chick to nail for the rest of your life, it's about being their to wipe each others asses when you break both arms so this week was an honor to care for her and feel like I was backing up what i've said for years I guess.That part is nice to be the caretaker for someone you love.
That’s what true love is all about…..the fun times are great, but when we can show our wives love by taking care of them after a major surgery or illness, that’s the real love that stays through anything, and is the most rewarding kind of love, because you prove it to her with your actions.That is true.

because they'd have her for about 5hrs doctors (and wife) told me to just go home, have breakfast and tend to the dogs and house and they'd call me post-op (which they did, and we only live 15 minutes away) but that drive home I missed her more than any time I've travelled for work away from her.

What you did leading up to all this is a PR in itself. Marriage is like building a bridge and once built, that bridge is a living and breathing entity!That is true.

yes sir! just an off day that I'm probably overdue for. ironically went in feeling fairly optimistic but could tell I was lacking some fullness in the muscles. an hour later, I'm actually pretty dang tired.You still put in the work.
That is verbatim what my buddy and I said today as I contemplated it. Still they're delicious. My coworkers mom made 60 dozen for $25/,dozen for Christmas money so I bought some off her. Homemade is the best.Tamales are a lot fattier and going to take a lot longer to digest sufficiently.
Oh well, if it’s delicious then surely that will mean it’s going to help you feel optimal in training - that’s why I always recommend biscuits & gravy consumed between rounds of HIIT workThat is verbatim what my buddy and I said today as I contemplated it.

Yeah I would have thought the same thing but it just doesn't seem to have worked out this time. Probably should have had one moreOh well, if it’s delicious then surely that will mean it’s going to help you feel optimal in training - that’s why I always recommend biscuits & gravy consumed between rounds of HIIT work
Hopefully all goes well at her appointment.
Hope you get all positive remarks from her follow-up. Sounds like you should from what you have said so far.
appreciate it fellows. wrapped up my LISS, fed the chickens, prepped coffee and went back to bed with my wife after I set a time lapse video for the sunrise this morning.Wishing her the best!
