What do you do for that?Deadlifts were easy for me to progress. 6 months of my close to 4 years training to get elite numbers. Squats, I just needed a reliable partner to get elite numbers and break my mental plateau. There was a time I was squatting 3-4 times a week. Squats helped sharpen my willpower which I needed for my other lifts. My bench is wack, should be better.Finally learning my body and implementing rear delt work which has helped improve my rotator cuff health. First time I can really say I'm happy with my body and my strength.

My theoretical max for dumbbell rows is 243lbs :cmonjay:
According to poliquin that's the waveWhat you think about deficit deadlifts? IDK, I did it with 4 inch lift and proper form with 60% of my max. Felt it greatly in my hams and lats.![]()
I just gotta say that ever since I bought that foam roller, my knees have beenDo you use the foam roller at all?
I'd try it on your IT bands. You may just have tightness that is alleviated by the squat motion.

Terrible leg day todayBack in the gym and on routine:
Last two weeks have been so crazy with work I can't remember what I did and didn't do. Two weeks ago I did my normal "heavy" Sunday work and didn't lift a thing until two Saturdays ago and that was just trying to string together something in a hotel gym. I hadn't touched a weight since until today. I was doing a lot of moving boxes and equipment for work but nothing major.
All my lifts today were on point and I worked in a few increases here and there so. Very motivating
I was working overhead press (you guys know by now I'm not terribly strong still), I can see dude in the background giving me the. as I'm about to do my initial press. I pushed that son bytch like my life depended on it, 6 clean as reps
