Yeah thats the plan, just gotta get my glutes to actually fire in the deep squats
How hard are you pushing outwards with your knees Mike? When I squat I envision "corkscrewing" my feet into the ground and spreading the floor apart aggressively.
I am not too bad there, but spreading my knees is only half the battle since the weight is almost always too far forward. Glitch 1 1/4 squats looks brutall!
Although another 30lbs of meat on my frame would probably fix the problems.
I go to answer a question like this and then the little voice in my head that also says "stop b*tchin, squat more" says this to me.But honestly, my back is the only part of my body I'm "OK" with. Everything else just needs more. Or. MOAR. I guess.
Yeah couldn't agree more, I am somewhat pleased with my bicep development but thats about it lol
Genetics (well work and bicycling everywhere as a kid) gave me a decent chest and glutes but everything else sucks! (:
Chest and ass? What else do you need man! But for real I gotta work on my ass big time
Deep fucking squats, man! That, combined with actively DL'ing (various forms), and I got some serious glutes happening.Cory
Two words: hip thrust

Yeah. I would also recommend those as an accessory to all the squatting. I mean if you really want to build the glutes that is.
Squat like a whore my friend. Ass out, boobs out, looking slightly up but not staring at yourself in the mirror if that makes any sense. Big breath, lead with your hips/ass and DON'T FUCK UP FOR 20 seconds!http://www.allthingsgym.com/category/kirk-karwoski/Now go soak up all of this with that big brain of yours.
Perfect thanks stiff! And ibob gonna br crushing thosr forsure amd glute ham raises!Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk 2
Hahaha, my abs are not visually pleasant at all. I have a super strong/bulky core and large hips which is great for lifting heavy but I am gonna need to put like 20 pounds on my shoulders/back to make them match the rest. Back is pretty large already, too.
My abs are visually pleasant in a certain mirror combined with specific lighting. Unfortunately as soon as I turn to my right we have a second mirror which brings me back to reality. Reminds me of my youth when the ugly lights used to come on in the clubs at closing time. 🙁
Honestly though, abs are overrated. IMO if you worry that much about abs, you better be stronger than me already or I will mock you for obsessing over something so insignificant.
My stubborn areas I'd say are the forearms and front delts. Suggestions?

For forearms the best thing is high rep shrugs, Kroc Rows, high rep deadlifts, and any other sort high rep pulling exercises. You can throw farmers walks in there too. Only use a mixed grip and chalk if you have to and rarely use straps. Fat Gripz are something that is often recommended, but they are pretty inferior to just holding heavy weight for a long time in my opinion.As far as front delts, focus more on incline pressing than flat benching and maybe bring your grip out on your bench.

Back Extensions with a hard glute contraction work REALLY well, too.Cory

I absolutely kill the fuck out of forearms with Zottman Curls. Do these last, unless you have no intentions on gripping shit afterward.As for front delts... benching, overhead pressing, front raises (with drop sets and/or static holds), steering wheels w/ a weight plate... all good places to start.Cory

Thanks man. Yeah I do krocs and high rep deads just need to add more reps when I shrug it out. I haven't used straps for lifting in a year I used to use them all the time like an idiot. When dead lifting I don't use chalk at the gym but will once my home gym is fully operational and mixed grip doesn't come into play before 275 at the moment

This is b/c the average gym rat isn't interested in doing painful or tough exercises. Isn't interested in REAL work.Cory
