    I'm 24 years old, measuring at 5'8" and weight 168 pounds with about 13-16% bf

  2. Help a newb out

    Hi, First of all, thanks for your answers. To answer your question, I've been training for a year now and since the beginning I've been a high frequency high volume guy. My lifts currently are squat 245 pounds for 2reps, bench 225 pounds for 2reps and deadlifts are at 275 pounds for sets of...

  3. Help a newb out

    Hi guys and gals, I come for your insights, you see ever since I started lifting I've been doing my own programs and I thought I was doing good. But I've come to the realization that my programs are unbalanced and in the search for progress I'm looking for a program to follow. By the way I...

  4. strength gaining rep range

    Hi guys, So for the past couple of months I've been working on raising my strength on the main lifts. The way I go about it is the first week with a new weight I do 8 triples, the next week 9 triples and then 10 triples, after that I raise the poundage by 10lbs and start the cycle again. The...

  5. I really need some insights here...

    Oh and for daily life the pain its not limiting or anything. It did bother somewhat with forward thrusting while standing up (if you know what I mean) and if I sit for too long when I stand up its almost like I have to rectifyy back, like put something in place.

  6. I really need some insights here...

    First, a lot of thanks to the responses. A have probably watched my clips a thousand times and It took me a while to understand the hips shooting up part and the lack of tightness on the lats and I'm working on that. About the pain, its weird cause its uncomfortable only at some degrees of...

    Until recently my hips also shot up first on back squats. What kind of weakness would this suggest? My routine is 95%compound movements and I work abs very other day

  8. I really need some insights here...

    Thanks for your suggestions. I'm thinking of starting fresh with 135lb in sets of 5 and adding 5lbs weekly a la SS. What kind of cue would you suggest so that I don't round my back? Yesterday's session really messed me up, I can't touch my toes, the farthest I can bend right now is parallel to...

    https://youtu.be/A3jY3NaMd04 This is another set and another point of view. Also this is from my previous session last week. Its still 245lbs but doubles. On grip I vary with each rep.

    https://youtu.be/7I47_onK5F8 Can you guys see the video?

  12. I really need some insights here...

    I have to upload it to a website to put it here? Maybe this serves as a clue yesterday after my 4th set of 3reps with 245lbs, I took a 2min break before my 5th set. I walk to the bar, setup, take a big belly breath and when I go to start the lift, its freaking stapled to ground. Its like my...

  13. I really need some insights here...

    To really answer your question, on heavy deadlift day I go for triples or doubles. On light deadlift day I pull from a deficit but with about 60% of my 1RPM

  14. I really need some insights here...

    I have video but no idea how to post it here. I was up to 315 singles but I was working my low back too much so I figured bad form. I then lowered the weight to 225 for sets of 5 while videotaping every time I deadlifted. I almost sure (almost cause I'm a noob) that my form is good. Last week...

  15. I really need some insights here...

    So I've been having problems after deadlifting. I seem to have some problem in the glute medius or some area around it. For lack of better terms I have put in a picture of my friend Tony who has the same issue. The pain in the highlighted area feels more like tension/stifness and its worse...
