A rep for Quest came to my box today and had free samples. The apple pie one is pretty good. Or maybe it was all the bar muscle ups that made it taste good. She didn't have cookies and cream though.

I hit a 3-1 rep max on the big lift of that body part day (Bench, DL, squat, overhead press) every session every week. Many disagree with this method, but I have found great personal results through it. At the end of the day, it's how your body responds to training best that matters.

C'mon bro, you must've missed it.
Totally agree, just not one to point fingers with no proof or smoke whatsoever. I'm on the "there's PED's in every sport" train, but to single out athletes, nah. Until there is proof or connection, not going to be that guy,
Hate using the word, but the epitome of being a "Hater".
Ah damn, my bad. I did miss it.
Just went back and looked and forgot about the Lance comparison when i typed that out. I should have checked the posts better before i made my post.

Are you targeting solely your back?
The regular version gives a more complete exercise IMO

i care more about my back honestly but ive tried to deadlift before and while i liked it. i had a hard time with leg positioning and keeping my feet flat even though it was my first time doing it lol
i know its all about practice so i might try the regular version again

I prefer the regular. Leg positioning can be awkward but you def get used to it. It's probably one of my favorite exercises. Press through the heels, keep the bar as close as possible to you and keep that back straight and chest up. One fluid motion sir.

Out of curiosity, why haven't you deadlifted? From what I've been reading, you've been lifting for a while...injury?

I do have problems with my lower back which flare up pretty bad at times which is why i havent squatted either
but my gym went all out with the bumper plates and individual platforms and what not so i kinda wanna start deadlifting and take it easy. Im usually pretty good at learning and get form down pat very quick. I might do a few sets tonight to get a feel for it and see how my lower back reacts to it.

While keeping the bar as close as possible is true, its also important to make sure the bar is traveling straight up and down. You dont want it too close to your body that its travel path isnt straight. I have a better DL when I start with my midfoot under the bar as opposed to having my shins as close to the bar as possible. That may have to do with my starting position flexibility but yeah, find what works for you.

Any of you guys get a really tight back whenever squatting and deadlift? Maybe it's my form but I always make sure my core is stable whenever I'm doing these exercises.
Mostly happens during high volume and intensity.

Definitely and repped.
I've seen dudes try to keep it so close that they end up leaning back past perpendicular with the ground to get the bar up and it throws off their balance completely.

i need to watch some deadlift videos, my foot positioning is what confused me and my shins the lift and lockout are easy but i want it done perfectly.
the guy i was doing it with months ago wasnt a pro at it so it didnt help me.

For someone who's so keen on supplements, I'm surprised you're not doing the 2 best exercises one can do at the gym

My lower back used to flare up with squats and DLs. I started rolling out my lower back and took a lacrosse ball to the glutes (mainly piriformis muscle) and hips. Noticed a huge difference after a couple weeks. I would recommend starting off with a foam roller on the glutes. The lacrosse ball can be very unpleasant.
