  1. Mass vs. Aesthetics

    As others have mentioned this is an outdated viewpoint. But more specifically, it's just not accurate in the case of a majority of powerlifting. For raw weight classes at 205 lbs or less you better believe most of the elite lifters are shredded on meet day. Charlie dickson, russel orhii, taylor...

  2. Engaging my hamstrings when I deadlift

    I find that to really get tension in my hamstrings, glutes, and hips I have to "wedge" myself into the bar and pull against it as I get into position. Look up some of Chris Duffin's youtube videos on deadlift he does a great job of explaining it and it helped me personally a lot.

  3. 455 X 7 High Bar Squat, No Wraps/knee pads

    High bar makes it way more impressive in my mind-keep it up!

  4. Inzer lever vs single prong?

    I personally have both but I actually prefer to use the single prong, I just like how it feels to mentally lock in and it's more old school idk. But for training in general I just use the lever belt. And no i've never had any issues with pinching.

  5. strict overhead press

    will also be trying this out, thanks!

  6. Powerlifting program?

    You should utilize a program that runs on daily undulating periodization. Not all periodization is created equal and in my experience this has worked the best. For example, on monday you might do triples at 80%, and then on thursday do sets of 5 at 75%. Then of course you have linear progression...

  7. How much money spent on food weekly?

    I eat on a very cheap diet and don't go out much so it's low for me--tuna, white rice, eggs, etc. About $50 per week

  8. Major Gains – The Most Powerful Natural Anabolic Made

    Nice! Any idea on the date?

  9. Question about "not a hernia yet"

    That is very interesting. Have you confirmed the bulge? I know there are sports hernias which don't show a visible bulge and can be common for athletes and lifters

  10. hurt my back deadlifting... sugg.

    Glad to hear nothing serious! For me I found that really keeping my shoulders not just "back" but "down" helps to keep my chest up and my scapula retracted. Hope it keeps going well for you man

  11. Knee pain during squats

    It would depend on the specific location of the pain, but you should see a physical therapist asap. If the pain is either directly above or below your knee on the tendon, it is likely tendonitis which can be cured with rehab and also fixing poor movement patterns which caused it in the first place.

  12. Destroyed Back Doing Overhead Press

    Were you overly hyperextending your lower back? I've found for me it is really important to keep my glutes tight so my lower back doesn't feel too much pressure

  13. Pins and Needles in Lat

    As others have said seeing a PT should be priority number one, but just to give you my experience while I haven't had my lats pin needled, I have had my traps and it helped me out a lot.
