Yup. All depends on what muscle groups you're after. The wider the stance the less involved the posterior chain and lower back are involved.
I don't like the shoulders behind the bar or the dropped hips.Haha, that setup is the one I use, and the one that keeps my shins on the knurling.

As long as you raise your hips before you pull. Hamstrings get worked by going from long to short. Think of a leg curl machine. The more of an eccentric contraction they are in, the harder the will concentrically contract. If the hamstrings are already concentrically contracted as you deadlift, the movement will be a duad dominant (leg extender) movement.
The extra day off shifts me to sunday Tuesday Thursday, which might be better in the evenings anyway.
Nothing wrong with some shifting. The key is to not do the SS novice program on back to back nights. You won't be able to recover properly.Golf with THPers and some Christmas shopping with my sick wife got in the way of my workout yesterday but I got it in this morning. Gym was eerily quiet at 930 on a sunday, though that's to be expected at a university rec center on Sundays
For sure. Especially doing squats and dead lifts (for now) during every workout.
Yeah. You'll burn out quickly.
Rest days are the best workout days haha.
Your lower back is part of your "core" if you do a lot of exercises designed to target your abdominal wall, your lower back is probably neglected. What your feeling is your spinal electors being worked closer to their limit than your abs are.
I love rest days haha my gain days.
It's why lifts that force the erector spinae are so important. Squats, deadlifts, presses.
Made me think of how dumb hypertrophy focused training is. I don't follow or know enough about bodybuilding focused training to have an input on how correct the article is.
Preggo belly is because of drug use. Crazy mixtures of drugs that cause all kinds of bloating and other bad things. That much I know.
Yes that's my understanding as well. Curious as to why hypertrophy training is so stupid tho?
Depends on the goal. If your goal is to look good with your shirt off, it's great.
I agree that just getting massive is stupid and those monster guys seem pretty limited but I think hypertrophy in general isnt all that pointless. I mean for us guys that don't have natural size (tall and thin genetics) some size gain along with strength of course isnt bad imo. I'm sure guys wIth bigger builds don't care because they just want to be strong but as a skinny guy being strong kinda sucks if u still look like a bean. 2 pieces of the puzzle
