I can see their point on people with ATP to be honest. I've never got on with them as they end up just pulling everything out of place.

Postural dysfunction or poor core control exacerbated through savage exercise/loaded shocker? Who would have thought? ;)

I had a discussion about this a couple of months ago, and the idea applies to all deficits: don't go too deep as even with exceptional core control structural limitations in anatomy kick in which force the lumbar into flexion:

Yes....that was my point. Due to pre-existing issues (be that actual problems or general anatomy) doing the exercise never did me favours. When you have people on here going 'lolz do lots of deeeeeeeeeep 10foot deficit BSS' you don't always go 'hey, perhaps I need to check the optimal depth I should be doing before trying this?'.

Indeed. People look for excuses. Rather than understanding what they can and cannot do.
 
285.7kg deadlift tonight. Really pleased as back was sore after warmups but settled down after getting going.

Guy I trained with said he reckons a 290 would have been on the cards if I didn't go for the 275 first which was harder than the top end.
 
Hit 6 triples at 90% with squat and bench today. Almost psyched myself out of even trying the calculated weights (dat lack of confidence) but decided not to listen to my noisy inner critic and give it a go. Got all 18 reps for both... that was pretty good!

Bench is finally starting to feel like it makes sense and since the squats were with 100kg I can finally say I'm doing 2 plates with full depth for repz. Pity my 'bulk' still has me hovering around 63kg most days. Must up calories again.
