An inch works. You're just trying to make sure the adductors are as stretched as possible at the bottom position. Adjust slightly.

These actually are much better. Technically we can't see your hip crease and they look like they might be a shade high, but drive your knees out more...

Do not do this.

The molar weight of testosterone is about 288 g/mol. This means a concentration of 12 nmol/L is equivalent to 345 ng/dL (the units usually used in...

Yes. This is the main thrust of the advice here. Don't deload, don't take ten(!) days off. An "injury" should only be allowed to affect your...

Yeah literally everything you are observing is a byproduct of going a bit too deep. Your hips are not "shooting back" and your back angle is not...

I don't think you should be doing ANY dips. If they are going to do you any good, adding weight is the only way they might do so. If you are...

These are like, a good inch too deep, maybe more. The "shooting back" you are experiencing is at least partially the effect of the hamstrings...

This does not actually sound like the guy is giving you the classic bad advice to avoid heavy lifting at all costs. You have hired a guy to seal your...

Insofar as the dip improves strength, it only gets stronger when you add weight. Chins work the same way. They start with a rep progression...

I hesitated recommending moving the bar down your back just because it looks right from here. But moving it down a shade might be warranted. A...

Triples are useful with certain lifters at certain weights. The halting deadlift is the one of the two variations that does NOT give the lower...

You're doing what you were initially doing on the descent backwards: you are fully extending your hips before your knees finish extending. This is in...

Your knees and hips are too far forward. To keep the bar in balance while you lean over, your hips need to go back. A TUBOW or similar object in...

It looks like...you are breaking with your knees and THEN your hips, causing you to have to shove your hips "back" after the descent has already...

Eliminate the light work from this and you have a 4 day program. The light day is only necessary when bridging the gap between Monday and Friday. ...

I think at the heart of this is the "active recovery" thing. "Active recovery" is a myth. There is nothing you can do in the gym that makes you...

Sorry to get you two mixed up: this happened somewhere transferring drafts between my phone and computer. Seriously man, you are thinking about...

It's suboptimal, but also almost certainly doesn't matter. If you get to the point where you're missing squat reps because of your deadlift, let me...

Try hook grip, mixed grip, or straps. You get the back into extension, it just relaxes very quickly off the floor. Often that's a grip issue.

You are thinking about some of these concepts with sufficient granularity that they are ceasing to become helpful. I am going to try to be exact here...

Back is coming out of extension a little bit on these. Try harder. Don't raise your neck: keep your gaze directed towards a point on the floor labour...

There is nothing magical about the number five

Unless there's something really wrong with your anthropometry, or you're squatting 700 pounds, your deadlift should be ahead of your squat. Of...

It is worth mentioning: no amount of an increase in grip strength will make another person's strong grip somehow feel less strong.

I jumped on my first NLP using weights from when I thought I was "intermediate" and got four weeks before I even needed to add a light day, and...

This is less volume than a 3x a week program, so that's the issue, not recovery time. A lot of people find this dose works, more or less.

From what I can see this looks fine, other than being perhaps a bit too deep. What is the connection between your initial problem and this squat? Can...

I would be very surprised if you could make twice weekly increases on your squat for all that much longer while your deadlift slows down. If you like...
