I got over the whole trying to find a protein that tastes good. A good deal is more important nowadays than the taste.
I do wanna try that Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl though...

it's ok. kinda light. pretty good for the price if you buy the 3 tubs and get the c4 for free and use a 10% discount.
i'd take craze way over those other 2 preworkouts up there. might as well take caffeine pills and a good carb preworkout meal instead of the 1mr or nox.

On second thought I'm going to get that...
Even if the flavor isnt great on the cinnamon swirl
It wont be chocolate.
Love chocolate... but it'll be nice to put it down after a few months.

Going to take a break until further notice. I think yesterday did more harm than good. Got to realize that I'm at a point where I can miss the odd day here and there to give my body some rest and not lose any progress. On the verge of puking all day...health #1.

I ended up getting the Cake Batter flavor of Gold Standard. Even if it sucks I'm blending it with Fruits so I shouldn't be that bad. Got tired of chocolate

I mean I do an A B A B schedule with Chest, triceps, and back being A day focus, and B being biceps, delts, traps MWF split and legs each day during the split. I literally do every workout you can do besides things like power cleans because I'm not at a gym I can do something like that.

Knees pass toes, yes. I know about the arguments that the various associations have made against deep knee flexion, but biomechanical analysis shows that the greatest stress on the knee occurs at and above parallel. Going below parallel has not been shown to lead to pathology in healthy individuals. Look at the training of olympic weightlifters that squat heavy, frequently, and deep. They have surprisingly low rates of ACL tears and knee injuries in general. Of course there are many other factors (mobility, soft tissue health, structural balance, muscular activation, etc.) but deep squatting with knees passing the toes is not a problem (in healthy individuals) IMO.

Example of the form that I am talking about:
The front foot is elevated in the video, but is not necessary. It can be useful to elevate the front (or back) foot for variation.
As far as the valsalva, I think it's best reserved for maximal attempts (1-3RM). For deadlifts, lots of people like to essentially drop the bar and miss out on the negative. For people who train like that, the valsalva maneuver can be useful.

Or ask to learn something new that may beneficial....
Youre definitely not doing every workout one can do. Theres SO much more than just an A/B split, especially with the way you have it broken up.

Oh, im in 100% agreement on deep squatting. The kness passing the toes all depends on what type of squat is being performed as well.
In reference to lunges, I think the knee passing the toe depends on how the lunge is performed. If its done like the video there isnt any excess injury risk to the lead knee. If the focus of the lunge is the trail leg (unlike the video), its important that the lead knee doesnt travel too far past the toes.
Also, ankle flexibility plays a major role in the knees ability to properly flex and extend.

Bro, people go through dozens of routines until they find one that works and some NEVER find one that works. If what you are doing gets you results then why **** with it? I can understand if you've been doing your routine for a while and you aren't seeing gainz but as long as you are seeing gainz then don't change it. Keep doing it until you hit that plateau unless you think you are already there.
