    Think of your training as a cup. You only have so much energy to expend and recover from. Don’t push too much on the deficits unless you want to make that specific lift better.

    Big point in my head is to try to keep my elbows up. I don't cross my arms though, so idk

    you caught it really high. drop down a bit in your receiving position, it'll help when you go up in weight. and faster elbows if you can

    I think there can be some benefit due to all the compressive forces. If you stretch and “open” up that space there probably is some benefit, even if it’s neurological. It isn’t going to help or harm you much either way, unless you are Ray Williams.

    You may even want to try just laying on your stomach propped up on your elbows. You can rotate between that and laying flat on your back.

    Re: Olympic shoes vs Chuck Taylor’s, is this article about right?

    https://www.t-nation.com/training/olympic-shoes-or-chucks-for-squats

    TL;DR - new/intermediate lifters will benefit from Olympic shoes, as will narrow stance quad dominant form, may lead to improved quad development on account of increased ankle mobility... whereas hip dominant wider powerlifters seem to use Chucks

    Ok, so recent video of squats as I’m trying to critique my form but this is as low as I can go with my hips. Is this low enough or am I still far from hitting that sweet spot? Capstone 88 hensleya
    I think I need to be more upright. To drop my ass down lower.
    Edit: I have no idea how to upload a video

    Edit. I feel like I should be more upright in my upper body to get lower but also maybe I need to go low bar instead. I’m hitting parallel at best

    Two things sticking out that I can see from this angle:
    1)you’re putting your back into hyperextension when you start the descent. Try to keep a neutral spine there.
    2)depth isn’t bad at all, but one more inch would put you in a great spot.

    In terms on being more upright, that depends on leverages. Do you have long femurs? If so, you’re gonna have some forward lean. Think of sitting straight down and letting your knees travel forward to keep the bar over your mid foot. That will alleviate some of the forward lean and hyperextension.

    I think he got away with some downward movement there, but elite level strength. All accounts I’ve heard is that he’s a great kid.

    Should I be taking some sort of proteolytic enzymes (or protease) with my protein? Specifically if I'm trying to diet to lose the last 10lbs around my lower abs without while minimizing muscle loss?

    Can’t target fat loss, just have to drop your overall body fat. Luckily we get to carry our fat in our lower abdomen, whereas women get to hold it in their tits and hips.

    But to answer your question, I have no idea.

    I get that. That was just to illustrate my goal is keeping protein high while in a caloric deficit to minimize muscle loss. Since viscous protein passes digests in 90ish minutes I'm skeptical that my body is absorbing anywhere near the 25g per serving and I'm curious whether an enzyme to aid that would be better than carrying around a protein drink to sip on all day.

    It’s always good getting things pointing out. That’s why people who train in a crew typically do better (no data to back this claim up, completely anecdotal)

    Maximizing Muscle Protein Synthesis happens at most like 40g per serving. (Need to check this, but I think there’s a calculator that can show optimal serving for MPS relative to body weight). If you’re going a while without a serving of protein drink casein instead of whey.

    Have come to the conclusion that weight is stupid(I often come up with stupid conclusions tbh) Waist is down 3 inches in the last year while I've gained 10+ pounds and my running/swimming/lifting are all significantly better.

    Unless your goals are just to be skinny, freaking out about your weight just seems counterproductive to me.
