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...

I will say those numbers are fine but not necessarily obviously end of NLP for a 6'3" 250 pound guy. You can reasonably expect to be repping those...

If leaning over more moves the bar forward of midfoot, it is because your knees and hips are too far forward. These are high bar and are well...

Missed that that was you in the squat videos. Yeah man just put pounds in these. They look hard but that doesn't really mean anything.

There's nothing wrong with your back on these at all. Don't even contemplate a reset at this point. These did look pretty hard. Hard enough that I...

Your knees and hips need to be shifted back about six inches. You are "high barring" these, even though the bar is in the correct position. Stay in...

I am guessing what he means is what is the actual, trainable parameter (which is less straightforward then strength). The anaerobic and aerobic...

Last rep is a shade high, but this is the wrong call. The last rep is worth "mental difficulties." The place to avoid these mental difficulties is...

The Blue Book is first, and more important, since it treats the way the lifts are actually done. Doing the lifts with correct technique and bad...

Regarding the question about creatine: This is worth noting for the edification of any coach who might have to field questions about creatine. A...

If you have never done an NLP, you are still a novice for most purposes. Depending on how intelligently you have been training, you might only get...

"Hitting plateaus" is not a well defined phenomenon. What happens when you put 335 on tomorrow? If your squats are high, then nothing, including...

The grey book uses weighted chins after bodyweight chins progress to about the ~15 rep mark. The bodyweight chins effectively act as a "light day"...

Yeah, this is not the back not being in extension: this is the hip angle not being closed enough. That's why you make the adjustments to the stance.

The not eating enough is what is causing him to feel all sore and beat up after a set of sub 300 deadlifts. Those ARE woman numbers. Which means...

Do you think that getting your 3x5 in will not result in hypertrophy? Higher rep ranges do not result in "more hypertrophy", they result in *some*...

Do your volume work at 90%, not 80%. If that feels too rough, drop some of the accessories.

It's each "run up" to a rep. 0:13 is what I'll pick for the "best, first" instance. The bar tends to wander forward of midfoot as you keep "running...

Yes. Oh my God yes. Never allow yourself to have a thought this dumb again. Jesus Christ.

You know what's a real nice exercise to get your front squat up?
