Dead hangs or nothing
Really though I always got mocked by my mate for not doing them as I physically couldn't do one if I came down to a rest.
A year later and I reckon I could now out rep him
Gains from pull ups are amazing! Few people now have mentioned how big my back is looking.

I'm working up to them
Last week I only just managed 5 then 3, and prior to that I was farting around on an assistance thing. So I started doing negatives to slowly build up.From next week I'll start with dead hangs and work up again. I'm hoping my wings will come out with these also

Pull/chin ups are king.
I find I can hardly do a chin up by the end of the workout after all the rows 
May bang them on another day

Do them after deadlifts.
They'll fatigue the rest of my lifts, I did this before and found doing BORs etc far less comfortable than I do now, particularly on my lower back.
I guess. I moved them as I'd rather shift the weight on rowing, otherwise things like my BORs become non-existant.
Monday 18th March: Legs - Cycle 2 Week 1
Squats, not bad, tried to hit depth, need to keep my back tight and remember chest up, rep 10 on the plus set was just lol, went down too quickly and just became a mess at the bottom.
Changed deficit split squats for standard ones as I believe I did something to my back with them last week, so far, back feels fine.
RDL's, these hurt (in a good way) - The goblet squats, urgh, that is all.
After the squats I just felt dead to the world, guessing I'm still a little dehydrated, that or the coffee this morning plus the taurine wanted to murder me from the inside. Onwards and upwards.
- Mobility work
- Squats: 3 x 5+
- 60kg x 5

Your squats for depth this morning were nice mate, tightness through the movement needs to be improved, and i think you will see good steps forward with that. The extra tightness will mean better control through the whole movement. Also rep 9 was one of the best reps lol, you just rushed in to 10, you could have ground it out but to be fair i dont blame you for bailing.
Oh and sorry for standing in front of the camera!! didnt realise it was there (secretly wanted my behind to hog the limelight!)

Cheers mate it's good to know. Yeah no idea what happened for 10, the setup just went completely wrong and by that point I wasn't breathing properly I need to figure out what actually works best and keep that in mind for future sets.
Video below, you'll have to excuse Syla5 for getting in the way for most of the third set Also put the dropset on, tired by that point and it shows.

Yep. Hopefully with the increased back work that will change with time, for the short term I just need to be aware of it and fix it as best as I can.
Or just moar squats.
The volume of squats is fine, there wouldn't be much use in me doing more sets, unless of course I do some lighter ones later in the week.
At the moment I don't want to fiddle with things too much as it's a new stance and movement pattern that I'm getting used to. That said, it occasionally felt like my heals lifted from the floor, so may need to work on some ankle mob.

Them squats, Psy likes them
A good start!
That reps of Syla5's arse look to be the most intersting ones
If you feel up to it, consider doing a few light ish sets of 5 every day as part of your warm up. Think about having an active upper back too, so pinch and lats on.

Thanks mate, work to be done but things should click eventually. As Syla5 said, the 9th rep seemed to fly up and was probably the quickest of all of them
I'll do 2/3 x 5 of 40kg or something this week and go from there, need to ingrain the movement in to my head. I tend to activate my lats and everything, but I'll mentally make sure I do it next time.
Cheers! Hoping to breach 100kg again this year for reps and proper depth, watch this space etc
