    So I look like a pregnant Ethiopian (and squats are hard!)

    Hey Merlin, experiencing something very similar, most likely because I did a more than 10% surplus and all most of that turned into fat lol. @MaxBrenner I read somewhere when you deplete your glycogen levels, your next source of energy will be from fat and protein. When you mention a 10%...

    Hammertone vs Rubber coated?

    Squat technique

    Thanks Fadi, thanks for clearing up some unclear points for me, I sort of have a basic idea of how a squat can be performed and hopefully will be able to apply this whilst executing the squat. Also thanks Andy for posting that picture, I wasn't sure entirely sure if I was on the same page with...

    Squat technique

    Hi Guys, I've been watching and reading plenty videos of squatting, and hip drive seems to be a crucial component. I don't 100% grasp the execution side of the hipdrive and was wondering if anyone would care to elaborate or correct me. Basically, when you are standing up from a squat, do you...
