Khorne posted:I've been doing front squats lately. And 2 second pause at quarter or half squat on the way up back squats. They are both very annoying for entirely different reasons. It sucks pausing there because that's where the greatest compressive force occurs on the knee. You're loving up bad, bro. If you're going to pause do it below parallel.

Khorne posted:It doesn't go above 70% 1rm on reps that pause there, and it's a fairly widely used program. It's also only in one of the four week cycles, the lightest one overall, and it has helped immensely with form. Below parallel the force on the joint at the point of greatest stress (accelerating up form a stop/downward movement) is trying to pull your knee apart, which your quadriceps are designed to work against. Above parallel the force is compressive, trying to push your knee bits together. There is no muscle fighting that pressure. There's no advantage to what you're doing. Your program is dumb.

Khorne posted:That same compressive force is on your knee before you break parallel and after you rise above it. Pausing for a second or two isn't going to break the bank. Force is mass times acceleration. Descending or ascending at a steady rate through that portion of the lift creates far less force than moving after a pause or change in direction. This is basic maths.

Flexing your lower back with weight is a good way to develop back problems down the line. Lower back muscles are for holding your spine in a fixed position, not grinding your disks into paste.

Drunk Driver Dad posted: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. 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.

Doing bench and overhead press on separate days of a routine is a good way to fry your front delts. Hope you're doing a lot of medial and rear work to compensate (and not a bunch of sets of front raises like half the clowns in my gym). UnfurledSails posted:Definitely buy fractional plates for OHP. 5 lbs jumps become infeasible pretty quickly with them. Alternatively mix up the rep targets. Going from 60x5 to 62.5x5 is a big jump, but not a serious problem you're also doing 65x3 and 70x1 etc.

Drunk Driver Dad posted:That ones pretty slow isn't it? It would be good to do a program that progresses more slowly because I work all the time so recovery friendly stuff is good, but I think I have a good bit of noob gains to exhaust before jumping on something like 5/3/1. 5/3/1 is only slow if you follow it to the letter, do all your calculations with 90% of your 1rm as suggested, and never jump forward in weight when things seem easy. That advice is for more experienced lifters with an established, ego-fueled when-the-wind-is-right max (like how I can bench 115). When beginners do it like that you see goons boasting about getting 12 reps in their final set of a 1+ day, thinking they've accomplished something worthwhile. sassassin fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Nov 11, 2016 |

Overdoing front delts can lead to weird impingements and other fun issues, but mostly it leaves you with awful posture due to slumped forward shoulders. Blowing up your front delts makes for a lovely physique. My expert opinion is that no one needs more than one press in their diet. Medial and rear delt work is essential if that press involves a bench. Front delts take care of themselves. Doing a hundred pull variations at different angles is cool and good though.

A lot of the popular programs are written by dudes who admit they only include bench press because it's fun and people will do it anyway, it's the furthest thing from essential (unless you're training for a combine or actual powerlifting competition). Big tits are for chicks.
