    Bands and Power Racks

    I like them for mixing things up. at the moment I bench twice a week. once raw and once either against or with bands. It help to keep thing interesting, and I like the reverse bands because its gets me used to seeing 120+ on the bar. Im not as big a fan for squats. I like chains for squats.

    Reverse Hyper

    Nice work strong enough. nailed it. I did this in class today. find things you can do that do not cause pain, so for you, you should avoid compression in flexion. focus on getting stronger at lumbar extension to protect and avoid excesive flexion

    [Article] Getting to know the squat - All you need to know about squatting.

    how wide is wide and how narrow is narrow? I think if you've always done narrow, doing wide for 6-8 weeks will be a good change and you may like it more. make sure you get those knees OUT.

    Dynamic exercises prior to quasi-isometric exercises

    I probably wouldn't squat against bands and then move on to straight weight. the movements are a bit different(over-speed eccentric) and it may mess with your form. Im going to add kneeling jumps into my training now. Ill post back how it goes.

    Dynamic exercises prior to quasi-isometric exercises

    I like unilateral snatches and jumps. I wouldn't necessarily have a rep scheme but I would do them until they felt fast and powerful, then stop. Don't go overboard and wear yourself out. Here is a cool article on reactive training

    Box squats

    If you are training a sit back shins vertical squat, then It should be to the point that they don't loose form. this will stop people from plopping on the box. You then lower the box as they are capable. Once you can do a good box squat it should almost always be slightly below parallel unless...

    Intermittent fasting diet

    I've been loosely doing a 16/8 IF protocol for the last 6 week. I've gained about 1-2kg with very minimal gain around the waist. I like it. it fits my life. its good not worrying about eating every 3 hours. and i enjoy the big meals. its all about managing insulin.

    Mobility and training....

    hahaa, yeh you should be warm. some people do it after they have a shower. if you start with foam rolling and they do some light dynamic stuff you should be warm enough.

    Mobility and training....

    I find that with mobility once you have it its easy to maintain. I recently widened my squat stance, it took me four weeks of almost daily mobbing for 20-30 mins before I was happy. now I just have to do it before or after lower body days to maintain. So if you have an issue, smash it daily.
