i have and wide, idk. just didnt like the feel of them i guess.

I like a little wider than shoulder width toes outward a little, I tried narrow with toes straight forward and was like 10x harder for me to keep my balance and i always felt a weird feeling in my hip. Some guys in my gym preach that close stance "light weight" will be the best but initially when i started squatting heavy with a little wider stance i saw results. Take gym advice with a grain of salt, some of these guys who give me "advice" are on cycles which they never say. It's starting to piss me off that they give advice but yet their on anavar/test etc. (People tell me who are friends with them)

**I wasn't referring to you in any way as well, just a little rant about some guys in my gym**

 

[mdpwrlifter]

Agreed. Guess it is different suited

 

[mdpwrlifter]

Yeah, I'm not running anything ha ha.

 

[thetinyguy]

Yeah, I'm not running anything ha ha.

Yeah same here besides a natty t-booster, From now on i'm gonna training instinctual. It's the best way honestly if something doesn't feel right i'll usually back off.

 

[mdpwrlifter]

Yeah definitely. I might try t boost. Not sure.

 

[thetinyguy]

Yeah definitely. I might try t boost. Not sure.

That sucks man, good reason to use a power-rack! I love them keeps me at a peace of mind to know if i need to dump the weight i can without hurting/injuring myself

Workout was shortened a bit due to having to put the kid sister on the bus. Still, felt great on the floor press, did 235 twice to check I was going down enough. Everything else went smoothly, really hit the shoulders and tri's enough. Overall, really great workout, with a morale boost on the floor press numbers.

Grats! Keep that attitude all the time and you'll always improve, just try to keep a positive state of mind and hype yourself up before hand believe me it does wonders.

Your workouts look great! I really like WSB for the DE days. I'm on 531 now and kinda want to toss in 2 DE days lol.

 

[mdpwrlifter]

Do it. 531 doesn't compensate for that. Jim makes a great routine though.
