Hey D1cko, I just noticed this: Training Since December 2011
Best comp lifts: 210/125/280 (615kg) @117.4kg (13-7-14)
All time PB's 210/127.5/280
MY GOALS (end of 2014): 650+ total...
Are you right on schedule for a 35kg increase by year's end mate?

I hope so mate!! I do have a hiccup coming up, going to Scotland for 4 weeks...but I'll jump straight back in!!
I had an injury to start the year but had actual maxes of 180/120/250 (550) at the start of the year.

Looking at your squat weight D1cko, was it a knee injury or a lower back one. How tall are you by the way?

Lol players land from big jumps and then push off with one leg all the time in footy
If you can't see how squats and deadlifts benefit football players differently than a rock climber than you're deluded

Yeah I got a bit of painful tendonitis in my right hip joint. A consequence of trying out wide stance squats...
I achieved a 205kg squat some 12-18 months ago but I feel my form now puts me in a better position to improve.

Thanks for the reply mate. If I may suggest just one thing: never listen to anyone telling you to change your feet placement, after you have intuitively figured out for your own self your natural (not to mention your best) feet placement where you feel most powerful. We never (or at least I never) tell my one year old how to squat down to pick something off the floor...she does it just perfectly where she feels most comfortable (and I would suspect most powerful). I've always wondered why coaches spend zillion of hours telling their trainees where they think or feel is the best feet placement or hand placement (in the case of a bench press) for them!
In a nutshell, fully trust and follow your instinct brother. Let me know if I can help you in any way mate.
Hope you realise your dream soon enough...
Fadi.

This is it. Onis arguments will change day to day, there is no consistency.
Oni is saying you get in bottom of squat position in footy. Lol. Well maybe in the shit kicker league Oni was playing in. If any fucker is regularly getting themselves in bottom of squat position in footy they are going to be too spastic to find the ball and get a kick.

Do you guys find you recover faster from chest work than back work?
I seem to find I recover as follows
Fastest - delts
Next - chest then lats/bis
Last - Legs/quads/lower stuff.
Just finished Sheiko #37... 31 next... Looks like I've put weight on my upper body from just 4 weeks of this alone.

Been helping a mate out with form and programs, he says to me "im struggling to make all the reps as the sets go on"
He asks how long i wait between sets, and when i told him between 5 to 10 minutes he almost died. He goes "i only have 30 seconds to a minute"
Yeah idiot hahaha he has a 3 minute break and smashes his sets
Just needed to get that off my chest, its been bothering me

Absorootly. Keep those arms straight. If your hands were not stuck on the ends of them, you wouldn't use them at all.

Hey [MENTION=2727]Fadi[/MENTION]; just an off topic question if I may. You trained at the A.I.S. in the 80s, did you know Robert Kabbas?
I first picked up a Barbell in 1984 during the Los Angles Olympic Games after watching Australians Robert Kabbas and Dean Lukin. Robert Kabbas was a sort of hero to me as a kid. I used to do Clean n Jerks with my Fathers barbell with 15 lbs plates either side. We never really heard of Robert Kabbas after the L.A. Games, he seemed to disappear. Thanks for your time Fadi.
