Cutting season fellas, trying to get the abs is a *****, I'm 6'2 and down to 185 which is pretty lean for me, I think I'm a few lbs of fat loss away from a 6 pack!

Thanks homie.
Yes it is intentional, I try to tuck my feet as far behind my knees as I can. It helps me stay planted and as tight as possible while also allowing me to use as much leg drive as possible. I usually use Romaleos to bench in and can tuck them back a little further. There is a point where tucking like that does cause cramps in my hip flexors though so I have to be careful.

My hip flexors cramp/spasm when I bench too (except I bench about 25% of what you do).

A couple days ago is when I tried on the competition inserts for the Romaleos for the first time
Whew at the difference for me
I'm flat footed so I feel like the competition inserts just give me so much more support and help the shoe fit my feet so much better
My jerks felt so much easier
Should've been using it from the beginning

Nike outlets have Metcons for $99 now. I would just grab some cheap running shoes for cardio and some 3.0's for lifting.

I have always thought that what shoes you work out in is pointless. JMO

Nah, there's a huge difference. Try squatting/deadlifting in a pair of high-tech runners versus a pair of chucks and tell me that it doesn't matter which pair you go in.

I can squat in my Ultraboosts until its over 135 then go barefoot, much more stable after that.
Usually try to bring my Metcons with me which are great all around. Flat shoes > running shoes for squats/DL's etc.
Dont get cheap running shoes either, what you run in is as important as what you squat in. It can make the difference from a crappy run to a great run, like a crappy set and a great set.

Three things:
1. How much do you weigh?
2. What happened after you dropped the barbell on the blocks?
3. Panda
Made to look easy. Good job

Something similar I do to stretch out before ball. Some other useful stretches in there as well.

I literally just peeped your video now, SuperJU
How old are you, and what class? Do you plan to compete?
If you're in 85kg class, you're in great shape. You're strong either way , no matter what weight, but I'm saying you should be competing in the same competitions my coach is doing lol
*edit
Nvm I just noticed you don't snatch or jerk. Still really strong in the clean though. You can't be more than 94 kg I'm sure.

That's incredible and inspiring. I'm a shade over 206 and I'm probably maxing out at a little under 3 bills of what you hit.

I think because you said you did a BB show and you weren't doing anymore so I had automatically assumed you were over 30

i would not take a preworkout that had DAA in it. there are conflicting studies and it has been shown to lower testosterone in some cases. the only thing it's good for is to improve fertility in males.

Squatted without my knee sleeves and belt last week. Noticed I had less butt wink but definitely still there.
Looking back I realized switching to squat shoes really accentuated the wink, any tips for those that use squat shoes on tips to eliminate this? I notice it in high rep sets cause my lower back just dies.

More bench gains. My max is still 205 but I can hit way more sets at 185 after. Endurance is getting there. Did 45 minutes of bench last night. 5x5 on flat and unknown amount on decline. 155-185 just mixing it up

How do you guys find a consistent balance between school (studying, lectures), work (30-40 hrs/wk), and working out?

Butt wink sucks. For me, I think a loose core and tight hamstrings is what causes me to butt wink
I just try to keep my core tight, focus on stretching my hamstrings and not my lower back when I descend and also, try to keep my chest up.
Also I notice I'm more likely to butt wink on front squats (compared to back squats) and so I try to stay conscious of that.
