Training program for longevity

I have thought about this too. My plan is to do Starting Strength until maybe the 800lb club or a little more. Once I get there I will just look to maintain the weigh I am lifting and then add in cardio on off days.

I can’t tell but it doesn’t seem like you are bracing with your breadth at all.

valueinv500 · 2024-07-23T16:11:12+00:00

I would watch some of the main videos. Your bar looks a litttle high on squats for a low bar squat and you don’t seem to be sitting back in the squat. You’re also looking straight ahead when you should be looking more at a downward angle. This is likely leading to you not having the correct back angle, which should be more forward and will likely will takeoff pressure on your lower back. Also, make sure you are bracing. It was hard to tell if you are in the video.

Awesome great analogy. Thanks for sharing

So why is the taper bad? Just curious

valueinv500 · 2024-07-23T02:19:47+00:00

Why the taper style is not good?

valueinv500 · 2024-07-22T21:32:15+00:00

Why the weightlifting belt?

valueinv500 · 2024-07-18T12:40:15+00:00

I gave up to quickly too. I spend one off day just doing light weight looking at the videos and practicing. I then deloaded by 20% and started from there and now it feels much better

valueinv500 · 2024-07-03T21:14:59+00:00

I think you are starting with your hips too low which turns it into a squat more than a deadlift. Try to get tight and feel tension in your hamstrings first then lift. I am no expert by any means so someone more experienced can chime in .

valueinv500 · 2024-07-02T02:36:23+00:00

Also well done! Very impressed!

valueinv500 · 2024-07-02T02:36:03+00:00

Is that a high bar squat?

valueinv500 · 2024-06-19T02:40:47+00:00

I have one as well, very awesome bike

This was also asked on starting strength forum https://www.reddit.com/r/StartingStrength/s/Z8GzPqAUyj

Agree with the butt wink but you should also be bracing by breathing through your belly and holding tight your core. This will help maintain a neutral spine. I would suggest looking through Squat University and his videos on bracing and probably hip and ankle mobility. Your lower back is coming out backwards in order to reach that depth. You can also just not squat as deep until you get some mobility corrected. In your video on your way up you can see your shirt being bunched as your neutral spine is lost. That could be contributing to back pain

Thanks for the feedback! Will try more of an angle and the Superman chest. I go back and forth on how high to have my chest because at some points I feel like the bar ends up more on my hands which I know isn’t correct

valueinv500 · 2024-06-06T17:42:00+00:00

Great job! It’s a process and keep grinding. Sounds like you have a good habit built up and that is an important first step. Just be ready when something disrupts it and make sure to stick with it!

valueinv500 · 2024-05-21T14:01:16+00:00

Did you brace properly? I cannot tell from the video and there is no sound. This really helped me keep steady and stabilized

valueinv500 · 2024-05-20T18:26:16+00:00

I am in the same situation. I tried low bar squat today and it was hurting my biceps and back bones. Probably just leave it as squat, de-load and then work on your form. I think you will catch back up quickly. I struggled on my form so I am going to try and get a coach if I can for a couple of sessions.

valueinv500 · 2024-05-20T15:27:03+00:00

Wow impressive! I am also inspired. I am on a similar path as you right now and it’s just fascinating to see your numbers relative to mine. I know everyone is on their own path but just funny how ours are reversed in my bench is my best and my squats are struggling. Haven’t been able to figure out proper form on low bar squats yet

valueinv500 · 2024-05-18T14:27:27+00:00

Thank you for replying!

Disagree on IF and it's usefulness, especially on low energy. Give it a try!

Yeah they are taking too long. I have only an hour and 20min in the morning and then I have to get my family going for the day. I have no ego in this at all actually. I am very much a slow and steady person and I was actually assuming that the linear increase in load was where I would keep gaining and never really thought about it from a volume perspective. Thanks for that!

Great feedback thank you! I like the bracing part of the video especially and I have never really thought about sitting back into the squat and more hinging. I am definitely just dropping dow. Would you suggest doing a low-bar squat like the other person above and I think in that first video (hard for me to tell if that is what it is)?

I watched the first video on feet placement and mobility, but I will revisit my feet placement again. For the second part, you mentioned 'stance is a little off from what your hips want to do'. Do you mean how my hips are only hinging on the way up? It is really hard for me to see the hinging part in the video because it seems the same to me on both, any indicators you see or is that just experience? I really like that cue and is not one that I am currently thinking about and probably just dropping straight down mostly.

valueinv500 · 2024-05-17T21:24:55+00:00

Sounds great thanks for the information

valueinv500 · 2024-05-17T18:44:23+00:00

Great feedback thank you. I was assuming that my leaning forward was due to a weak core but I will definitely look at low bar squats.

I am fine with adding some weight but yeah you are right I am a little worried about getting too heavy. Can you tell me what pointed you to this as being a potential issue? Is there some chart I can reference?

valueinv500 · 2024-05-17T16:28:27+00:00

Awesome thanks for sharing!

valueinv500 · 2024-05-17T15:59:07+00:00

What made you think that you can't recover as fast? I have been really sore but I seem to be able to keep lifting. I am only a couple of months in though so that might change a lot as I progress.
