Reduce the weight on the squats by 10% and work back up. No need to reduce the other lifts if they are still progressing. A complete deload would be reducing weight/volume on all lifts significantly [around 50%] for a certain amount of time which would be personal preference - 3/4 days up to a week or not lifting at all…

You do realize there is a difference between making a generalization and saying that everyone does something, right? I thought it pretty clear i did not literally mean that every single person on the internet says they squat A2G but none of them do. good luck with your A2G squatting and pedantry goals of 2014

Ah the good old grammar retort, when don't actually have any come back.

^^ great point. People get told to squat like Rippetoe low bar and still go ATG..............good luck with that.

yes that's exactly what I meant, that I had seen everyone on the internet squat. Well done, great reading comprehension. calm down son, i wasn't addressing you personally don't get your panties twisted.

if you are squatting with decent form you should not be concerned about whether or not your glutes are getting sore, this is not an issue a squat is not an isolation movement. I very rarely get glute doms as i squat fairly upright, There is absolutely no requirement for anyone to squat ATG, if you can do it great but don't…

No pics? 0/10 thread

there is no magical carb/protein ratio for recovery. there is no desperate need to consume simple carbs post workout for 99% of people. If you want a calorie free flavoring to add to milk have a look at http://www.myprotein.com/our-range/flavouring-systems/liquid-flavouring.list

roll the closest plate on the bar onto a small micro plate so you don't have to struggle getting the other plates on/off when deadlifting.

how can you make this statement when you have no idea what her actual diet looks like and you can't see her diary? op are you actually losing weight week on week or not?

I wouldn't

that feel when you have op on your ignore list

there is no evidence the short term hormonal changes from exercise have any effect on long term muscle growth/strength. The whole 'you need to squat as it makes your arms grow bigger' thing has been shown to be false.

op's next thread "hey any single ladies in here?"

definitely one of my preferred methods for strength gains and actually I'm a big fan of the 7x5 method (or just increasing total workload with the same weight instead of adding more weight to the bar as a method of progressive overload in general). The only thing I would say is from a bodybuilding perspective, over time I…

if you read my post i recommended a coffee pre workout, not a pre-workout supplement. are you aware of the costs of 100 caffeine pills or a jar of instant coffee? It would cheaper than 100 bananas. again, food isn't going to give the same stimulus as caffeine, by the way caffeine is one of the most comprehensively studied…

the effects of a banana and the effects of a stimulant are totally different. that's what the op asked for. everyone likes to post 'what works for them' without actually reading or answering the question at hand. I love a banana before a workout as much as the next person but if someone asks me how to add 10kg to their max…

I don't think hand placement is ultimately that important as long as you can maintain a tight upper back, you will see tons of powerlifters putting up huge numbers with very wide grips. I do personally find it easier to stay tight with a really narrow grip though. This is he best shoulder mob IMO, at 3.00.…

Good article, The only part I was surprised by was the mention of bodybuilding style assistance work. You get some coaches who seem to advocate doing absolutely nothing outside of the competition lifts and squat variations.

I have seen you post similar comments on multiple threads and it's total nonsense, in fact I just got home from the gym where I both squatted then deadlifted. You seem to have an extremely pessimistic view of what's possible to do in terms or work capacity. Go look at some of the higher frequency style powerlifting…

barbell complexes. http://www.fitsational.com/2012/06/cosgroves-evil-8-complex/

the 30% BF woman looks leaner than the 25% to me.

Squats and overhead press is good, you mis-grooved the first rep on that squat video a bit but the rest look good. Only thing I would say is that on the squats you should set your rack up one notch lower so you don't have to go onto tippy toes to unrack the weight, that's not going to work well once more weight is on the…

In for rustled jimmies

you can shake them more than once...................

In case you didn't notice op is a troll account.

Dear lord this thread is terrible and should have remained buried. If you want to see some actual research on CLA see post #4 (hint......it's not so good) http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=112301601 your approach could not be any more backwards.

wow, great job.

none whatsoever, IMO.
