Hey hun what's for dinner tonight?

"Whey protein powder"

nah but you can eat whatever you want for dinner and then take like two scoops o´ whey after gym/before bed or whatever. That way you don't have to eat like 500 kilos of beans to get your protein

Is doing heavy deadlifts every week really worth it? Every guy I know who has hosed up their back at the gym has done it doing deadlifts.

just like with any exercise, do it properly and you won't hurt yourself. There's lot of videos on YouTube talking about the do's and don't's of the all powerful deadlift.

My back is still feeling better but I didn't squat today. I did do pendlay rows though but it was only 100 lbs and everything felt alright. also hit 150 on bench for a 5x5 which is technically a volume pr for me. yes that's lbs. arms weak. so what.

Good :)

Also, just wondering, are you ensuring that your stomach is suitably braced before commencing the lift, and do you do any separate core work (planks, ab whee, etc)?

In a perfect world yes, I think I know all the right things to do. I brace with a big breath like I'm about to dump a huge poo poo, etc. I had no problems taking my squat from 115-225 for reps and deadlift from 180-300 a couple years ago when I worked normal hours. But now that I work a ton, and I lift after sometimes I'm really tired and I have to be really vigilant I don't gently caress up. Like I said, I'm pretty sure I messed up putting the deadlift down. I think what happened is on one rep, I started lowering it faster than I wanted, and I tried to slow it down. Not in a very exaggerated way, but I definitely did something weird. I always used a platform at my old gym so I'd just drop them in a controlled manner. I think I may just do romanians or stiff legs until I join a better gym.

Also I don't do any other core work since I started lifting again a few months ago but I may start adding cable crunches and planks back in. I used to like doing those. e: bodyweight planks are one of those things it's okay to basically do every day right? I may just add them in to my stretching routine. Also I remember a while back Omar did a video on how they are actually good to do before you squat as a warm up to help get your hips and glutes going. Not sure if it's BS but I tried it a couple times and it seemed to help.

As well as switching to straight leg straight back deadlifts for a while to work on strengthening my lower back, increasing my core work had a massive impact on my form and technique. Doing planks before can't hurt, give it a shot and see if it helps. :)

I don't think bodyweight planks do much to strengthen anything tbh. Like literally every other lift you need to progressively add weight to get anywhere.

If you can do something every day it's not worth doing.

E: it's even better if you work your core and THEN do planks. It's hard.
