That sucks but at least now you know what to expect (in terms of how heavy it feels etc).

But hey, you're squatting "by the way it looks"? :P

Wow that's crazy man... that's 8 reps with 2.5kg more than my 1RM...

Hm... so you never do crazy pauses like 3-5 seconds then? (actually, neither do I - I do about 1-2 seconds)

He got pushed up by the guy underneath him.

Hey Kingfish, I was wondering - what's your difference between a paused full squat (3-5 seconds pause) and a regular "bounce full squat" in terms of the amount of weight you can move.

I did 120x3 paused squats a few days ago and it was kind hard vs. my ~120x8 regular squat top set. So for me, it's a ~5 rep difference... I always have this tendency to relax while I'm paused in the full squat... that REALLY sucks

Yeah I'll also do leg raising work. I did that test where you lie on your back and lower the legs from perpendicular all the way to the floor while trying to keep the lower back flat, pushing into the ground. I couldn't go all the way through which shows some ab weakness (there was some space starting to form between my lowerback and the floor when I got to a few inches away from the ground with the feet).

Very nice and very easy ^^^, what's your max now?

How has your vert evolved so far?

I think I won't benefit too much from them to be honest because I'm not able to finish in a hip hyperextended position in the first place, no even without a barbell over me. My anterior tilt is very pronounced so I'm not able to finish in a hyperextended position.

Any idea on how to improve on that? (other than hip flexor stretches that never worked)

Lower abdominal work? (hard to grasp that since the abs are a single muscle - and I'm talking about the rectus abdominis here)

What should be the focus in terms of specific exercises? Would ab wheel rollouts be good for strengthening the abs for anterior pelvic tilt correction purposes?

Never got drunk so I have no idea how that works. Sleeping in your own vomit doesn't sound too enticing to me.

They sure hurt like hell even with two aerobic mats wrapped around the bar and only 60 kg on the bar.

Right, thanks.

I did them today and they were hard with 60 kg. I couldn't achieve hip hyperextension on all the reps. It should come as no surprise since I'm so quad dominant. I also have the tendency to get up on my toes when doing the hip thrusts. I have to think to stay on my heels.

The problems is that I'm in anterior tilt and can hardly get any hip hiperextension to be honest. Will do bodyweight hip thrusts the next time and work on really really hip hiperextend.
