Ab roller is great That and leg raises are my 2 favourite ab exercises
Height is not as big of a factor as weight when comparing lifts In both powerlifting and weightlifting competitions, competitors are divided by weight class, not height A taller person will have longer and theoretically larger muscles, yes. But a smaller person can pack more weight onto their smaller frame

Always difficult to diagnose with such little information But have you tried simply stretching your hip flexors/psoas?
If it's anything like I had, I had pain (during squats) on the very front of my hip flexor, underneath the hip bone. It ended up being the result of shortened hip flexors and weak glutes. Basically just APT was my problem

Should I quit Veeky Forums if I want to change my life for the better? What resources should I go to as an alternative?
Gavin Thompson
I'm currently doing the Veeky Forums version of the gslp. The problem is, the plates on the gym I go to uses octagonal plates, which poses an issue on my deadlifts. Is it okay to switch the 1x5+ scheme to 5+x1? If not, what's the better alternative Finding another gym is not a possible option yet since my current gym is already free and I have budget constraints.

Yeah that's my point, taller people get shafted in absolute strength.
Juan Wright
thanks. i admittedly don't really stretch just warmups. i have apt and a little bit of lordosis. did you fix it? what stretches do you recommend?
Mason Johnson
Sucks, but you have the advantage of your muscles being bigger. Just go SHW if you want to be competitive.
Make sure your feet are angled out, and open your knees when descending so that they track over them. Stretch your hip flexors, glutes, and hamstrings, when you're home.
Growers are lots of fun.

Yes Quit reading bullshit on the internet in general
Spend more time on hobbies, learning and social life
Last summer I had an internship that offered a gym with those non-round plates (fuck LA fitness). My solutions was to build a kind of cradle for the bar with other plates. So I would lay flat a plate or two in front of and behind the loaded weight (4 plates+ needed for this)
No matter what you do, you will need to take more time to setup in between reps when deadlifting. If you really hate it, you could do more SLDLs or maybe do some kind of elevated rack pull to try and mimic a deadlift

How long after i stop taking creatine does the bloat go away? Only taking 5g rn but wanna look prime as possible for an event in july.
Josiah Reed
Deadlift in the power rack, setting the rack safeties just above where the plates would touch, or just do RDLs.
Connor Jackson
is it okay to have different sets and rep counts for different exercises?
