weak link in squat is...........

[muscledog95]

My lower back....would it be wise to follow up my squats with stiff legged deadlift?

it would be wise to include some really heavy good mornings.

If you aren't using Gms, do not expect to reach your full potential.

I also hope you are rowing, deadlifting, and shruging as well.

Good Mornings are the key to your weak lower back.

never performed good mornings before.......Should I keep my back straight and head back?

hmmmm...... a LOT of people can't make gains when squatting, rowing and deadlifting in the same cycle.... overtaxes the low back.

Thats why you arrange these exercises in different training sessions and you include exercise rotation.

Also, you alternate between light and heavy workouts.

...and why you strengthen and condition the lower back.

just gotta be careful on integration... or like wsb peeps virtually never go heavy on deads in training.

concentrate on the lower back, glutes, hams and abs for strength. This is the "Strength Chain" that Louis and Dave Tate speak of.
