i had the same problem up until i started doing some rotator cuff exercises and stretching prior to benching.also find a range of motion that eliminates the popping regardless if its not "the ideal elbow flare".

im currently doing my second cycle of Madcow 5x5 and love it,lifts are going up and I used to be in the same boat as you as it pertains to squating.i hardly ever squated prior to 5x5 but now i absolutely enjoy doing them.stci with it,youll begin to enjoy it as well.

Yeah ive read that its not the routine that helps in cutting but rather the diet.I will stick with 5x5 for another few months then look into more of a hypertrophy routine.

what routine are you using to cut?im fixing to wrap up my 5x5 a couple of weeks early and have been looking for a routine that will allow me to keep my muscle while burning fat so im trying to avoid too much cardio.

Im currently on week 9 of madcows 5x5 and i have seen my squat go up 70 lbs,deadlift 35 lbs,bench 25,bentover row30 lbs.I have been lifting since 1998 doing "bodybuilding splits" and have never gotten the results that i am now getting from 5x5.I can see results in the mirror as well.One thing I...

I figured that out 3 pages back

how old are you?

pretty good,had to take last week off due to some prior commitments i had and i started back up this week and felt weaker.hopefully it was just due to my fatigue from last week along with not being able to eat properly.

I just wrapped up week 7 and I actually had to "de-load" on certain exercises cause i was stalling.I have always put emphasis on my shoulders since I started lifting,I don't do a ton of sets for shoulder accessory work,i just do a few to get that extra umph.

In The End by Linkin Park,it takes me back to a certain time and place in my life and brings back a lot of "anger" and psyches me out which helps me get some serious weight up.

yeah,first time with 5x5.i would like to keep side and rear laterals cause ive read about shoulder/RC problems from not having equally developed delts.ive also read that having developed medial and posterior heads make your shooulder look wider.as for bis and tris i just do a couple of sets and...

im currently doing madcow's 5x5 mon/fri-squat,bench,bent over row accessory-side laterals,rear laterals,shrugs wed-squat,ohp,deadlift accessory-bis and tris(light) so my question is,should i switch to doing delts on wednesday and bis&tris on mon/fri? Im more...

go to (strongliftsDOTcom) and read up on it,they have a couple different variations on there.

i also chaged from stiff legged deadlift to the version where you start with a slight bend in the knee and straighten it as you pull the weight up while keeping the bar slightly rubbing against your shin as you perform the exercise. proper form is key.ive been lifting since 98 and i thought i...

my back used to get sore as well and i found out it was cause of my form when doing squats.I was getting the bar off the rack incorrectly and i wasnt breathing in deeply before going down.i changed those two things and now no pain.
