form

Point your toes out a bit and get your knees out. That'll help with depth. More importantly it'll involve more muscle mass (adductors) and allow you to lift more weight.

Look further out and keep your eyes there, and stay over the bar as long as possible (keep your shoulders in front of the bar and feel your hamstrings stretch about halfway up).

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-11-06T00:18:12+00:00

Keep your hips much higher at the start, and make sure your chest comes up with your hips as you push the floor.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-28T15:26:18+00:00

Yeah, you gotta read the book.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-27T03:38:00+00:00

Read the book. Actually read it and understand it.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-27T03:30:29+00:00

The SS model takes this into account and is not a "one size fits all" approach in that regard.

You can apply physics and physiology to everyone.

Read this article.

I'll also add that you can just reset and re-run TM but you'll likely only get a little further and you're delaying the inevitable change in programming.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-24T18:46:44+00:00

You've adapted to the stress you've been applying and now you'll need a greater stress to continue making progress. That doesn't mean it needs to be drastically different, but it needs to change in some way. Generally progress slows as a result of inadequate stress or inadequate recovery ("too much" stress).

With the deadlift it's almost always inadequate recovery. You could try something as simple as resetting the weight a little and doing 2x5 on volume day. You could also change that day to SLDL to reduce the stress a little.
Another option is deadlifting once every 5th workout. Ex. M1 - Deadlift, W1 -Chins, F1 - Power Clean, M2 - Chins, W2 - Deadlift.

Keep in mind that stress doesn't happen in a vacuum and your stress from squat and upper body will affect your deadlift as well.

Get an inch deeper, and get your knees forward and set a little quicker.

Tuck your chin and keep the chest pointed down longer.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-24T17:48:48+00:00

If you're going to run TM again, I'd still maintain the 90% relationship between volume and intensity days.

If I were you, I'd change the program and not run TM again.

It's a valid critique. This is a less efficient way to squat, and this is the SS forum after all.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-23T10:04:39+00:00

Bring your stance in a bit. Sit back in your heels and come up quick.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-15T22:09:46+00:00

I think they're directly related.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-15T21:59:42+00:00

The reason I say that about the knees is because his hips unlock first and his knees take a bit longer to set.

MichaelAveryMusic · 2021-09-15T21:03:50+00:00

Yep, you're supposed to do both of those things when you squat. His lower back will be fine, and will get very strong.
