I'm guessing you're probably rounding your back. Are you doing full squats? Also go to the doctor and get it checked, if everythings alright, when you squat again you need to pay attention to keeping your low back arched at all times.

Cool I'm doing holds with 315 too but with a hook grip, I'm trying to adapt my thumbs to the hook grip for deadlifting, I got a nice blister and little blood spots on my thumbs :D

Mike, How long did you hold it for?

If you're a professional strength competitor (assuming you're telling the truth) why do you want to know the routines of actors and musicians who you're probably bigger/stronger than anyway? Just do cardio or eat less fat to lose your gut.

When squatting should I try to bend at the knees or hips first? I used to bend at the knees first after reading a squat form description which said to do so, then bend at the hips. However I tried bending at the hips and it felt like a much smoother motion, I went straight down and ended up...

How do you do the hook grip? Thanks

I'm sort of the same way, I'm trying to do 3 sets of 5 reps with bodyweight(210) right now I might end up doing 5-5-4. About 2 weeks ago I did 5-5-5 with the very last rep being very hard, last workout was 5-5-4. But also when I did 3x5 i got the urge to do an extra set thinking that might speed...

Is doing dips, standing press and inclines 2x per week too much? I already do standing press for 3x5 and dips for 3x6 twice a week but I want to add inclines because my upper chest is looking undeveloped. If adding inclines is OK how many sets should I do, and should I cut any off the dips and...

Whats up people, If I'm doing a full body workout twice a week what should the maximum number of lifts be? My goal is to increase mass and strength as well as balanced development of all the muscles, so I would like to do a few more lifts than in an abbreviated routine. Example Bench,-chest...
