I would have you squat to a box or medicine ball, you just need to feel where that depth is and trust yourself to get there.It's not the best video in the world, but hopefully you can see whatever it is I'm fucking up on.
He could also try smaller plates (2.5lb or 5lb)under his heals. That should force him into proper position and shouldn't allow him to come that far forward.
I used to get BetaNox. Place stopped selling it by me but it was pretty good and worked well.Betanox Powder Citrus Blast by New Whey Nutrition - Buy Betanox Powder Citrus Blast 680 Powder at vitamin shoppe
Preworkouts are mostly trash (unnecessary), but White Flood Reborn tastes good. People rave about the watermelon flavor, although I don't love it (it's good, just not as good as their old flavor). Hopefully they start making the pineapple flavor for production. They did a limited run for the holidays of 500, and that shit was delicious. Very refreshing and just...well, it was just fucking good.
Creatine + Beta-Alanine for evening training
I especially need to work on the flexibility, and ya, the form actually feels better with more weight on the bar, but one knee isn't cooperating with that anymore. Hopefully sorting out the other stuff will help with the knee too.
It does, for me it really helped hold the bar securely when the weights got heavy (my work sets got up to 165kg before I stopped). You are right though, it is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.
I'm with Elurin, any help you are experiencing is primarily caused by placebo rather than anything in the supplement itself (like pretty much all supplements). Plenty of sleep and good food is best, but if you really do need a pick me up right before training (happens to all of us) I recommend acup of black coffee and a square of super dark chocolate. It also doesn't taste like ass. Keep in mind this works best if you don't do it routinely but only once in a while when you need it.
Congrats! 3 years means you are probably in it for the long haul and will have major long-term benefits. I'm in a similar boat as you although for me it has been more like 7 years. I will never be that big again *shudder*.
After you've been going to the gym a while, you realize that the amount of people that are actually in shape is pretty abysmal. You'll probably notice about 10-20 regulars at your normal gym time (depending on when you go), and there will be 3-4 sets of regulars; early morning, afternoon, after work, and late. Of the regulars, at least half are probably people who are spinning their wheels and will never make progress ever. If you stick with it for a year and aren't retarded with your diet/progression, you'll likely be one of the most in shape people in your gym.
The soda thing is no joke, I was pushing 210 but after about 8 months of almost zero soda I am down to 175, I did also cut out all dairy as well about 6 months ago to include milk(switched to almond). Now if I can just stop eating a row of fig bars every few days and actually exercise I am sure I could get some definition going.
