    Compounds are failing my arms

    I have been on a routine for about seven months now, working out four days a week and on each of these day performing one of the “big lifts” (bench, squat, deadlift, and overhead press). I have had reasonable gains in strength and muscle mass but I have stalled out in terms of arm development. I...

    Front Squat Question

    There is a one-two second pause at the top, a sudden drop into the squat position and then I explode up (as fast as I reasonably can with control). Towards the end of my set though, I felt like the motion was off, like my hip (read:crotch) was thrusting foward a little too much. I didn’t think...

    Front Squat Question

    You’re most likely right, bro, about the hips. Thanks for the response, Imm going to watch my form next time, the higher volumes makes me feel sloppy on the last few reps of my sets.

    Front Squat Question

    So from a physiology standpoint, I am clearly ****ing something up! Because I still have soreness deep into the glutes like charlie horses. I am thinking it’s the deepness of the squats, because I feel zero in my back so the form couldn’t have been that outrageously bad (also, the bar didn't fly...

    How often do you lift to failure?

    I think everyone has a Mike Mentzer high-intensity phase. If you don’t feel like you’re overtraining then you don’t have a reason to quit going to failure, unless you’re bored. Personally, I only go mega heavy on my major compound lifts two times a month or so and I play around with various styles.

    Front Squat Question

    Typically, I’ll lift off the rack with a narrow stance for the sake of balance, take two steps backwards then adjust into a shoulder-width stance. I have always squatted with that form, so I am thinking it might be either the speed of my motion (I drop into the “squat” position quickly, sit at...

    Front Squat Question

    Yeah, no type of recording of it and I know that makes it hard :pat: I was just wondering if anyone had similar experiences and had made corrections.

    Front Squat Question

    I switched over to front squatting around the beginning on the year and was mostly working heavy duty with reps between five-six until this week. I never had a problem with form but yesterday I started on a 10/8/6/15 with less weight on each lift. Afterwards, my glutes and hamstrings were...
