The intensity from one lift doesn't transfer to another the further we go from specificity in relation. One thing to consider is hip thrusts have a very small ROM and incorporate less muscle motors compared to a deadlift. Factor in the skill or lack of performing deadlifts and it isn't surprising you find them difficult.…

Depends what you means by hurts. A heavier sore is fairly normal is some sense. If your load management and programming is well written for you as a individual then I wouldnt be concerned. If you are winging it and/or adding sets, reps, intensity, frequency, variations, etc... with no reason other you feel you should…

I never had one roll off a belt because the surface area it is impossible unless you are deadlifting off a unlevel pkatform/floor which isn't advisable. I have had then roll off a 2.5 because a very small surface area and as I mentioned previously the weight can break or crack the biscuit which is waymore expensive to…

Only you can answer your question. Yoyr programming, current strength, short and long term goals, etc....will help determine the answer for you.

Did that many times over the years. The only problem I have is it eventually can "crack" the weight which is expensive to replace. Another alternative is a old thinner paperback book if that is a concern.

Exactly two of the considerations to start thinking about, then you match up your exercise selection and fatigue stress. Some people I wouldnt have deadlift like you would see dosed in programs such as SS or SL or I would use a variation that lowers the stress index considerably. I would highly recommend finding a…

So by cutting back your ceiling distance to 10k, your options are more open quite a bit. I wouldn't suggest any cookie cutter program without knowing your running schedule as well. If I'm understanding you, you still want to focus on running primarily but would enjoy the many benefits of resistance training. By far one of…

Depends more on you and what you want. It is certainly reasonable to add mass. It is also reasonable to maintain or lose the 5kg(reasonable goal). I would lean towards whatever you feel adhearance would be intact best. I would suggest resistance training regardless. A hypertrophy focused program would be a appropriate…

There really isn't a denotive answer as there isn't a specific exercise that will achieve a flat stomach goal for everyone. A flat or flatter stomach can be achieved with lowering your body fat percentage. I would also advise to follow at the very least the recommended physical guidelines for resistance training.

By practicing/training what you want to improve in. Nothing will improve better than specificity of the movement itself. Want to hit depth on a squat, then train squats at a intensity you can hit depth. The very rare occasion that a lifter can't hit depth after adjusting foot position and toe angle, then start at a depth…

Unless you have aspirations to compete, squats are not necessary for resistance training. That being said there are variations that can be used(e.g., bulgarians, step ups, lunges, etc). Can you air squat to depth ot sit on a toilet unassisted? If so, I would start with the same foot width and play with the toe angle.

Everything looks fine. A couple things I would polish is. 1. The beginning of your initial pull. You bend your arm and then start abruptly which could be described as "jolting". This over time could add unuseful stress to the joints and tendons. We correct this by straightening the arms and flexing the triceps. 2. At the…

I'm not "complaining", Not only is it easier and faster but zero chance of damaging the barbell. Wedges can be used but if you already have a belt, purchasing and dragging gadgets around isn't necessary. If a person is using 4-5 bumper plates or many iron plates there can be a problem with the ability to grip both hands on…

Better yet is a belt or or something easy to roll on that is half inch thick or so. Jack's require lifting compared to simply rolling.

That is one thing I can't understand with some coaches/trainers. High rep for the deadlift specifically isn't very useful for a powerlifter if we are talking higher than 5-6 reps.

Choose a more challenging variation which uses less weight. My deadlift variation has me only working with around #500 while my squat variation has me working with #700+.

As I mentioned "butt wink" is more of a buzz word and really nothing to be concerned about other than a efficiency thing I suppose. L5-S1 as you probably know is pretty common area of diagnosis for a couple things involving the spine. There is ALOT to process for individuals when it comes to these things (e.g., pain,…

Hard to say without running data and seeing. One doesn't "shock" the body to help it grow. Hypertrophy is a result of stimulus dosed with sufficient volume at the appropriate intensity.

Box squats is a variation of squatting. It is not "cheating" in a general terms. I'm not a huge fan of box squats for most lifters unless the individual is training equipped specifically. If you use box or bench as a indicator for depth with a T&G tap and not rest any part of the load I feel it can be useful. I think there…

I agree though with certain types of strenuous jobs(e.g., carpenter, concrete, brick layer, etc...) there can certainly meaningful stimulus. Measuring it would be almost non existant. I know some huge guys in the trade that don't even resistance train. I think in their case resistance training could in many cases make…

That is very reasonable especially if it promotes adhearance. Just by your time limit your volume & fatigue would probably be in a appropriate range as well 👍.

A waist circumference can tell quite a bit about your health risk and if you are carrying extra body fat to be concerned about. Training one body part per day probably isn't the best strategy as far as proper load management. How many days a week were you planning on training and time per session?

There are ways to resolve tendinopathy. It took me probably two years to figure it out for myself and now have had great success with clients without relapses. It just takes a longer time than most people are willing to rehab along with we will usually still experience pain that might confuse a person if it is actually…

What is your waist circumference?

I usually train just above competition depth for most of my volume and squat variations and hit singles closer to comp depth as I get closer to competition for specificty. I usually steer people/clients away from ATG if they have a deep squat for efficiency and technique to help their goals. Butt wink is more of a buzz…

Retaining muscle is fairly simple with sufficient volume and appropriate intensity. I wouldn't be very concerned unless you are in a extreme deficit. Find a intensity you can tolerate. If not tolerable, then small adjustments of ROM, then adjust exercise selection. Most injuries are rooted from improper load management so…

Same. Sometimes with steel oats soaked over night.

Starting strength isn't made to be fam in a deficit. 1. There isn't load management or auto regulation of any kind. 2. It is only useful for 2-3 months for most people not in a deficit. 3. It is more a strength building than a hypertrophy response. When we are losing weight I would be more focused on a hypertrophy response…

Are you first receiving 5FU chemo 24/7 for 6 weeks straight coupled with radiation 5 days a week before surgery strategy?

Is it possible? Sure depending if it is sufficient stimulus. If you have to split up through out the day or week it's much better than not at all. When you say it isn't applicable all the time I agree though I think if you can it helps with adherence long term.
