Thanks for the links and advice. Squat RX was excellent. I was in the gym after watching it to attempt some squats with bar only. It was a sad state of affairs-- to be honest. I could barely get to half squat, let alone worry about my form in the full squat. The biggest factor is inflexibility in my...

Full squat: Back angle
Just getting into full squats (I know, it's late in life). I've been practicing form, unweighted, in front of a mirror. I notice that as I get past the half-squat mark and into the full squat my back angles forward around 35 degrees and rounds a little. I know that some forward lean is necessary to ...

Just wanted to jump back in and say thanks for the comments. Things are improving with the new, more balanced workout. Got the foam roller too, which is awesome-- thanks KPj. As for pullup bar mini-discussion above, just go out to any jungle gym and grab a set or two during or after a run. If the ba...

I just got back from the gym where I did deadlifts, good mornings, posterior delt work, etc-- all of which are exercise types that I have never really been dedicated to. So, hopefully it'll correct itself. Interesting about the pull-ups, that it causes internal shoulder rotation. Makes sense, now th...

KPj, please
I'm going to jump in to this-- thought about starting a new thread, but my questions are very related so... KPj-- Read your posture comments and went over the T-Nation links (I admit, not very well, but I realized there is too much background info I don't know for me to jump into those without some ...

Yeah, read an article in Gladiator mag. about the need to practice extensively with near-perfect form-- keeping the guard up being the most fundamental of things. Though it was worse for the past couple weeks on account of my being under the weather and a little fatigued, I find it's mostly a mental...

I had a similar thing-- my chest generally wasn't sore after a workout. I found this to be problematic only because other body parts I worked out did get sore a day or two after a solid workout. Basically, I realized that since I didn't want to ask people for a spot on the bench press (I like to kee...

Shoulder pump
I've been experiencing fatigue in my shoulders during kung fu training. We keep our hands up at about shoulder height in front of us, and lots of the movements involve shoulder activation. lately the feeling of fatigue-- "pump", during which my shoulders get tired and stiff-- sets on fairly quickly....

Injury-- the muscle knot from hell
About 3 weeks ago I was running at night and slammed into a thigh-high concrete cylinder designed to keep cars off the pavement. I fell and after a few seconds could get up. I limped over to kung fu class (which I was warming up for) and managed to get through the class. At this point, I have no fun...

Biotest Flameout (and T-Nation)
I'm thinking about buying Biotest's fatty acid supplement, Flameout. T-Nation really loves it, perhaps for less than pure-hearted reasons. I was wondering what people think about this supp versus other similar. And, as a side note-- T-Nation reliability (though my guess is that it's a bit schizophre...
