Yeah squat to VJ like the one on Kelly's site would be a great tool and it would be fun too. For me it has always been accurate.

Well you have only yourself to blame for that.

Yo Kingfish, what do you think of 8x5 vs 4x10 for hypertrophy?

I am currently doing 8 sets of 5 reps to get to 40 reps, and the thinking behind that is that I can maintain perfect form and concentration doing only 5 reps per set. The rest periods in between sest is about 30s to 1 minute. Do you think there are any issues with that mindset for hypertrophy vs going with a 4x10?

Thanks!

Exactly^^

Also watch your position when sitting at a computer. Chest stretches etc could help as well.

it still feels like lost something, in my brain, regarding double leg.. it feels weird just thinking about double.

Now you know how I felt all my life.

They look pretty good. I think the form was actually better with the heavy weight, with the light weight you were rounding your lowerback but you probably were getting really really low vs the heavy weight.

Yeah if it's more than 5 degrees it's probably going to change the mechanics too much to have a good carryover to regular sprints (I'm talking about forward downhill sprints).

For backward downhill sprints - it's just an exercise for calf hypertrophy.

Damn, wtf do you do to get that "insane calf soreness", I swear I never get that. Probably they do respond best to high volume stuff and I never do high volume stuff.

So you're saying you can't maintain a flat upperback with a empty barbell?

I was actually looking in the mirror from the side... I'm thinking of using a broomstick to use it as a three point touch to verify that.

By the way - I tried now to do a bodyweight RDL vs a bodyweight straight leg deadlift, and I could keep much more tension in my glutes during the straight leg deadlift.

Any idea what this means? Apparently when I flex the knees a ton of glute tension dissapears. So weirdly enough, when I take tension of the hamstrings I also take tension of the glutes... wtf... this occurs even if the knees don't go forward so it's a hip bend only, the only way I can maintain a HUGE amount of tension in the glutes is keeping the knees completely straight.
