Cool, that seems like a nice rule of thumb!

I have a question regarding warm ups.
Say i'm gonna be squatting 125 kg for the top set.
How much would you put on for the last warm up set (i usually do a single here though)?

I'd probably...

Try using this for setup. It's helped me a lot.

Deadlift perfect every time

10th post, under "The Deadlift: Perfect Every Time"

When you use challenging weights the setup has to be perfect....

lol :P

Mike C -> that is exactly what i'm doing! Gotta work on it..

I'll try bending at the hips first. Thanks!

Wtf man?

How am i not gonna do this 'ridiculous eccentric lowering motion', when i can't just drop the bar?

Hey all

I've been getting some pain 'on' my knee the last times i've done it.
When i say 'on' i as if you hit it into a wall - and its caused by the heavy bar sliding down my knee when i'm...

Do the Adidas Power Perfect II compress too? :/
and where did you get this information?

I've been really happy with mine, but i only squat 255 so maybe it wouldn't even be a problem yet?

Really starting to like this Two Steps From Hell, makes me wanna go lift even today on my off-day

gzt, are you still doing GTG (or was that only before starting this program?)

If so, how's that working out for you? Does it feel like its affecting your recovery?

I really like my Adidas Power Perfect II.

But they're not exactly 50 bucks. Don't think you can get good squat shoes at that price..

I can't see how i should be doing them wrong (the planks). I keep my body straight, like a plank, without letting my hips/lower back fall down.
That's pretty much all there is to it, isn't it?

I'm on a 4 day split too. Doing 1x5 intensity squats tuesday and then on my intensity deadlift day, friday, i do volume pause squats. 4x4.
I don't do any volume normal squat.

I like pause squats,...

I've been doing a little bit of ab work on my deadlift day (doing a 4-day split). Until now this has been planks with a 45 lbs plate on my back.
Worked my way up to 3x1 min, but now i want something...

Congrats man! I have the same goal, hope to join you in the club later this year

Found out my gym doesn't have an ab wheel. Or i know there is one, but it was gone when i wanted to use it friday.
Not sure i wanna mix in an exercise, where im not sure i'll be able to do it every...

lol, that video is hilarious :D

I kinda like that the plank works your core isometrically, which should transfer better to squat+DL, right? Guess ab wheels are somewhat isometric too though? Also the plank works the T.A. muscle.

Yes! Is that a good upgrade, even though it isnt weighted?
