Thanks mate. Will check that out when I deadlift tomorrow.
Guys are you mirin' my squats or wondering if I even lift?

All of the above. Improving well TC
I know your working on form, but don't be afraid of increasing the weight once your past your form issues, and don't be afraid of failing. You'll be faffing about like I did for ages otherwise.
But the worst part is that she said I had a small hernia. She said I don't need surgery yet but her solution was to stop weightlifting completely, not just for a few weeks. I don't like that idea at all. I didn't get this far just to quit.
I'd be careful with this sort of advice: doctors - from my experience - do not necessarily know anything about weightlifting.
So I would encourage you to get this checked out by either a sports doctor or somebody who knows something about this, as hernias are not the end of the weightlifting world.
I've trained with a small abdominal hernia for the last 5 years. During which time it hasn't caused me any pain or discomfort.
It's occasionally slightly more prominent, but hasn't got any worse.
Squats:Can anyone offer any advice/improvements to my squats and deadlifts? There's nothing I'm particularly worried about, but it's been a while since I had any critique. I realise it's not the greatest view for the squats: I'll try to get a side view next time...
Squats, 5 x 150kg:
Deadlifts, 5 x 140kg:
Think I can see some lower back rounding here, but not so sure...
Just a quick question for all you.
I've always been quite skinny so I've recently joined a gym with the hope of gaining a few lb of muscle.
It's been about two months and I've gained about 10 lb, which I'm quite happy with.
However, I had my routine programme update at the gym and according to my BMI I am bordering on overweight! I'm about 5 11" and weight 12st 6 at most.
I barely have an ounce of fat on me! Is the BMI a load of tosh which I can ignore?
Cheers![]()
This.BMI = lol
Hope this helps.
