Yeah, i know its weird because that's the concept of the anonymous thread , posting without account, so that makes those threads spam-vulnerable.
I didn't check if you can block sub-threads from the feed. I mostly use the feed for quick access to the new posts and then the "Recent posts" from the main page and the "Show undead posts since your last visit" when logged on. One easy workaround is to subscribe to the "Recent posts" which does not include the anonymous threads.
Edit : Subscribing to "Recent posts" won't work , anonymous posts don't show in the main page listing but when you go to the actual page they do, FML
No big deal, just letting you know.

What's the deal with that? Its a massacre the last days in there! I know it's an anonymous no-signup-needed thread so it's easy to auto-post there but is there a way to control it?
The anonymous is a good thing because posts won't appear in the 'recent posts' of the main page , but i am using RSS feed and it's driving me nuts!

Because i want to focus on strengthening my injured outer quad and not my healthy VMO? And because as i already said all the articles i read prescribed not going below parallel?

This has been explained ( as usual ), it's all about my strain recovery. All articles i found insisted on not going below parallel , most of them suggested 90 degrees knees angle. Agreed about VMO/depth, it is the same for me. I don't care at all for VMO currently though, target is rectus femoris/vastus lateralis.

Also:

Why don't you try to go ATG?

SQUATS:
15@44lbs
15@44lbs
15@44lbs
Pain or discomfort : none
Tempo was 2:1:2 to 2:2:2.
5 reps per set more plus going parallel instead of half. Was good for more but stayed focused, patience!!!
Also  , i did a few full reps and pausing at parallel is much harder than pausing at full depth.

It takes me about 50 mins to 1 hour to complete my weightlifting:
I do 3 combound exercises, 1 legs - 1 push - 1 pull. Each consists of 3 sets, 3 minutes rest between them, 3-5 minutes rest between exercises. My warm-up sequence is the same for all exercises, 3 sets building up intensity, ~1 min between those sets. I don't do abs or stretch at the gym, i leave right after the last working set.

Nah, i read it. I am against such 'epifany' articles. Suddenly pushing with your heels is the root of all evil, i call BS!
Having said that, I am using the 'spread the floor' cue anyway long before that article, and always trying to push midfoot, neither front or back.
But if you ask me, there are 99 serious and dangerous problems in the average Joe's squatting/DLing form and pushing with heels ain't one!

By the way - how do the deadlifts feel like in the o-lift shoes? I think I've probably asked this SOMEWHERE but I don't remember where. Are they any different? Are RDLs feeling different?

You asked in some other thread. LBSS said its kinda personal, and he doesnt prefer it because he cant sit back well at the bottom.
I havend DLed in them , but i did RDLs. I'd say no big difference. I felt a bit more steady compared to nike frees ( no shit! ) and i could also push better with my heels ( had the usual getting on toes issue before ). But still , tiny differences.

did you grunt a lot and do a war-whoop as you re-racked the empty bar?   :D

Both. Also racked it above the pins, didn't slide it down controlled, let it free-fall making an earth shuttering sound!  :trolldance:
