Your stance needs to be wider and your upper back needs to be rigid. Everything everyone else said is right. This looks like one of those meme...

While the skill floor for squats is indeed higher than a leg press, the skill ceiling for both is relatively low. You drive your squat up by getting...

This makes a bit more sense. But those do sound like some awfully weak bones: 67.5 kg is not particularly heavy. Just do everything as you were...

There is no such thing as a strong guy with a weak squat (provided he has, you know, LEGS).

It's a month. The fiddly details don't really matter. Just get as much work done each day as you can. By the time you've "settled" on what approach...

I would actually be very interested to hear even an anecdote about a person's squat going up due to work on the leg press for longer than a few weeks...

The only thing I can think is that you are talking about loading the bar with less than 135 pounds, and in the absence of bumper plates. It...

The humerus doesn't have a clear "path" to the skin anywhere on the arm. The whole thing is covered in either muscle or connective tissue. This is...

You overcorrected just a tad: these verge on a little high. Split the difference and bring your stance in a hair.

Given that you aren't actually experiencing any deficits in strength as a result of this, the scar tissue probably didn't grow anywhere along the...

The short answer is that usually, back tweaks can occur without any obvious cause. A form error and a back tweak often co-occur, and there is good...

An Issue of Tightness | Chris Olson The 4" belt may be impacting your ability to stay tight by moving your trunk out of position. It'll prevent...

This confuses people in both directions, especially young guys. They see lightweight powerlifters, and either go "oh, *I* can be that strong if I...

"Fixed with the wider stance."

You are going TOO deep. See how your pelvis kind of "sags" through the last five inches? Your hamstrings are shortening and sticking you at the...

If you can get your deadlift up past your squat, you can probably resume NLP progression for the other lifts, perhaps with a light squat day

1) All strong people have a big squat. They might not have the biggest squat they could ever get, but if you are strong, you can squat a lot. If you...

I think the "uselessness" of a Smith machine is somewhat overstated here. Not WRONG, exactly, but overstated. The real problem with trying to sort...

Most of those "benefits" are, to be generous, mostly bullshit. If fasting did all those things, and they are so god damned fantastic, why doesn't...

Your deadlift should not be that light. Everything is following from your deadlift being too light. You need.to.get it 50 pounds ahead of your...

"Paradox" in this case is I think used as an apparent contradiction which, when examined, yields an underlying insight into the phenomenon, as in...

Ideally, you would know how the weights treat you from a previous run through triples and singles. But absent that, the general rule is to keep...

The rate you add weight to the bar on the NLP is such that you really can't outgain it reasonably. In the time it will take you to add 35 pounds of...

The old saw that if you aren't getting stronger, you are getting weaker comes to mind. But you can do a pretty good "maintenance" if you just go in...

The protein in that much ON whey is indeed closer to 30g/ a dollar. But this isn't good news for you. You said you wanted to decrease your protein...

Where is your sense of fun?

You need to get a better job or a better wife. 20 g of protein for a dollar isn't the cheapest, but it doesn't get THAT much cheaper. Milk gallons...

There really isn't anything to be afraid of with cleans. "Mobility" isn't really a consideration. It's nothing that can't be fixed with a little...
