I take this:

http://www.pronutrition.ro/produs.aspx?pID=173&cID=0&dID=0&bID=38

I haven't exactly made a buy of it but it was a promotion of proteins + this so I got it. To be honest, it does help. Not sure if it's placebo or not, probably not though, but when you squat you do have some extra energy and "nerve" (extra will so to speak) to complete your reps and not quit. So...

It's a Romanian product though, so unless you can translate that ... here's what it contains (in Romanian):



You can also go with this:

Speaking of weirdness - I saw a guy doing supinated bench presses a few days ago at my gym. Has anybody ever seen such a thing?

Yeah man, Scooby, these "jokes" we post here in your thread is pretty much how what you're doing is viewed from outside.

You personally have much experience and invested a lot of time and effort into training hard etc, so you should know better.

It's sad that you're wasting your limited time like this.

But only doing what you can do already is a great way to never learn anything.

You're right.

Oh well, back to learning some barbell bosu ball squats.

Yo Scoob, I have a pair of ankle weights, I'm selling them for 1000$. Are you interested?

They could help a ton in your situation, remember, you haven't tried ankle weights yet, so they must have some potential, right?

It would be great for me to do deficit deadlifts, knowing as I can't maintain a straight back in a normal deadlift let alone a deficit one.

Cool!

It's pretty much the same as saying everybody should do high bar ATG squats because everybody should be able to squat like olympic lifters, right?

I have 20 kg plates and 25 kg plates in my gym. I think the 25 kg plates are the bigger (have the longest diameter) so I actually use them for deadlifts.

Good luck getting ANYTHING out of that, Raptor.

Wait... so this is why I was stalling?!

Love the sarcasm.

Damn, you're improving as the day passes in sarcasm, Lance!

The reality is that "strength people" have such narrow views of training... people never have an open mind and actually THINK about stuff. It's sad that we don't have more open minded SMART people that think.

We usually have either the close minded "it's 3x5 exactly as Rippetoe said or it's wrong" or "we need to squat with chains and have two ketlebells attached using bands on a bosu ball with a weight vest and a powerjumper in order to have any "functional" training effect".

So they either are very close minded, or they are very... "flamboyant" in their approach. We need more people in the middle ground when it comes to training.

Now that you know the proper way to squat, I expect you people to conform and adjust.
