If you are going with your feet straight forward, I would just add that you really need to fight to keep your knees from collapsing inward during your heavy sets. Personally, I squat with a shoulder distance stance and turn my feet out a bit (toes generally pointing to the far corners of the power r...

So long... can't I just wait for the movie to come out?

MyFitnessPal has barcode scanning and most restaurant meals. I actually haven't been to a restaurant that wasn't in the system.

And do you lose strength when you switch? That's what I did 2 x 6 weeks block than switch for 6 week, and went back with some less strength. Not when I pick an alternate lift that fits. For example, deadlift, I am chronically weak off the floor. So, I could do deficit deadlifts, but I don't have a ...

I do my blocks as 6 weeks always. So I can push the forced progression if I want, depending on how my 95% week went.

I did the same thing. Thrall was a Marine casket bearer once upon a time, so I've got to subscribe to my guys. Another good one for powerlifting is Cody Lefever, or GZCL (goes by both).

Are you doing a conditioning protocol? You could cram a HIC in there. Or some accessories. Since I'm already doing accessories and conditioning, and I don't think my body could handle more training, I'd use the time to work on mobility. Yeah, I'm doing black professional for now. I just wasn't sure...
