What is your pre-squat ritual gbs? I like to draw a pentagram in chalk around the rack and then say HAIL SATAN with every rep. Apparently the left hand path is one of sick gainz and low bodyfat.

I like to kick the cage a few times, scream a few times, set off the lunk alarm, then attack the bar like he's Triple-H and I'm about to give him the Rock Bottom!

I don't think that's why it was gassed but I never read the old thread.

The old thread was moved to YLLS and the moment Shine saw it, his only reply was "no" and it was gassed. Ask him why it can't be in YLLS.

Uh yeah because when you lift heavy weights, you rest between sets. Sorry you're a twink doing body weight exercises.

Yeah, when I "rest", I focus on actually resting and watching the clock and thinking about the next set

Lmao "focus on resting" what.

Let's see: review my form in my head, look around at other people lifting around me to check myself, check out the girls in yoga pants, think about my next set, punch in the numbers on my phone, watch the clock, get ready and go again.

Me: *quickly type in my set weight into my phone (much higher than yours BTW), check out cute girl doing squats, do my next set.

ive never really read into programs beyond "do this on these days" so what happens if I fail mid set? should I give it a rest and try to finish the set at the same weight? kick it down a few?

???

i mean other than hanging myself because failing a squat makes you feel like a babychild

Double your rest time and hit it again.

When you start your ohp, do you lift from the ground or from a rack? I find it harder to start from the ground and get into position, and I fail more reps that way than from the rack.

I've never had one of those piston chairs that ever didn't eventually start leaking and sinking the more you use it. I can just imagine that happening to that MAXX Bench.

It only helps you in situations where not using clips or the roll of shame work just as well. If you drop the weight or your shoulder gives out you're still hosed. Just set the safeties up correctly and you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars.

Never underestimate the desire of people to spend lots of money to not feel a moment of shame

If you're not looking at your own balls when you're squatting, you're doing it wrong. How else are you going to keep all that weight on your neck?

I did 95% bodyweight today after three months of recuperation from a heel injury. I can't wait for the DOMS to set in.!

I can't even do 1 split, much less hold it for five days.

As for before, I do the squats first (that's the order the app tells me to do it) but that doesn't make the deadlift easier. I've been doing the program since March and I keep plateauing on my squats at ~210 lb.

How much do you weigh? And what do you do when you plateau? And what else do you do? If you absolutely can't get past it, take a week or two off and go back to it. Also, what is your Deadlift?

Weight is 162 lb although that is ~12% BF. Deadlift is currently at 240 5x5 although I haven't plateaued there yet.

I'm just following the program so when I fail to increase the squat 3 times in a row I do 80% deload. Taking time off (ie a long weekend) hasn't really helped much.

I had that trouble too. When I say take time off, I mean take a full 7-14 days off, i.e. not doing anything. Don't go to the gym. The program will have you deload appropriately when you start again, but as you get back up to where you were, you will find it easier. Follow the program, don't deload one day and then go back to where you were the next.

Also, Deadlifts at your work weight are supposed to be 1x5, not 5x5.

Ok, I take it back, he is a svelte 400 and strength training is exactly what he should be doing. I have been corrected and if he is still there in a month I will apologize for thinking thoughts about him.

Well, he should be doing more than 7 reps per set, but doing five sets of fairly light weight is not strength training, and probably is what he needs to be doing, if he upped it to 10 or even 15 reps
