Just Joined today, saying Hello

Deadlifts question
Hello! I'm hoping to get some advice on deadlifts. I've been doing SL 5x5 since mid-November or so and am up to 125 on my deadlifts. I had to do a deload after being sick for 3 weeks so haven't progressed super fast on these. Today at 125 was the first time I had to use the over/under grip, as doing both overhand felt like…

Lesser evil? Too far forward vs. Too shallow
Whenever I squat I always look like the second picture at best. I cannot remain upright without leaning All the Way Forward. Sometimes my knees go too far forward also when trying to get down to parallel. If you don't do the full range of squat then you don't incorporate the gluteal chain and you will not get strong enough…
Lowest back strength, and stretching for inline skating
I picked up inline skating again and found that my lowermost back is not quite strong enough to skate in a crouched down position for too long. I'm talking the area from waist to tailbone basically. Also, when I crouch down my bum, kind of outside area, and outside upper thighs get really tight. Office workers' syndrome I…
