Hey, I have been doing a basic PPL for a couple of months inconsistently but now as my schedule is tighter the time is too much. My new routine is based on Stronglifts 5x5 with added accessories. Goal is a balance of strength and aesthetics. Also on a slow bulk.

First I am going to admit that diet isn’t one of my strong points, since I just eat whatever I feel like, going by sight and feel with foods and just using P:C:F of 40:30:30 as my rough guide for the past year. I have put on size which is what I wanted to do but now at 85kg (give and take), I...

Hey guys,
So i've been trying to get my diet right in the last couple of weeks........
I think I'm eating too much at the moment, i made this plan before i measured my TEE properly but I'm just after some feedback on the food that I'm eating rather than the total calories as i can just cut...

So this is no excuse to not get an oly lifting coach; but Dmitry Klokov has announced[/url] on his youtube channel that he is open to the idea of lifters sending in videos of their lifts for him to critique. He will most likely feature the most informative critiques to the public.

Looking for some feedback on my program.
I'm a 32 year old male, 178cm tall. I'm a former cyclist and at August 1, 2012 I weighed 65kg's, carrying 9% body fat. After quitting I decided to try and get back to a "normal" weight and I took up crossfit on the recommendation of a friend. By...
Have been doing this for 2 weeks now and finding it really good. Im really limited to about half an hour in the Gym at lunch time so it makes things a bit hard.

My deadlift is crap. I'd really like to do something about it, but I really struggle with form. I'm miles from any regular critiquing, so it's not really getting better.
Here's a current attempt, when somewhat fatigued, at about 75%:

Am i right in thinking that the glutes are pretty strong external rotators and if my knees are coming in its more me not using my glutes when im squatting than a weakness in the glutes? Whats the best cue for squatting...
