I have no idea. But you should definitely be able to use a higher controllable approach speed... and it's usually the hamstrings and calves that prevent you from doing that.

If you suddenly gain weight (doesn't matter what kind, fat and/or muscle) and find out you can't use the same approach speed off one leg, it's usually the calves since they don't adapt as fast as the other muscles and therefore can't optimally amortizate this heavier BW like they used to, so you slow down a bit in your approach.

Hey really nice man... after all that volume coming up with that rep is no joke... but it's not something I'd do. It doesn't make too much sense to use a bigger weight AFTER you already put in quite a bit of work with a lower, fatiguing weight.

What do you think your bodyfat is right now at 190?

Yeah exactly, no rush... you'll start to get progressively better with your form in no-time.

One thing you might wanna do before squatting is having a bar on your hands (like in a RDL), squat down, and putting the bar on the top of the knees, about where the VMO is. Get into a full squat and stay with the torso vertical and have the bar there. Obviously you don't put it RIGHT on the knees but a bit more up, you get the idea.

It can really help you achieve better depth in time. Also, the lighter the bar, the harder is going to be to maintain that position (the less assistance the bar will give you). For example, I'm usually using 40 kg but I'm striving for an empty bar, and then things should be easier in terms of depth.

You could also try this:

See what happens. Good luck.

Here's the masterpiece of editing brilliance.

Pretty happy with the one handed reverse. Everything else is kind of standard. Legs felt relatively good today but not great. Did a few jumps of two feet but edited them out cause they're god awful. I should be able to do these vids every couple of weeks to track the progress which will be great.

You look so "big" out there... imagine yourself coming up with greater speed... you'd break out the backboard...

How strong are your calves and hamstrings?

Why did you do 2x275 and 1x280 after all that volume?

These people are all-natural, obviously. So much hate!

Looking really good vag. You still have a tendency to get to the toes a bit here and there but it looks very good overall.

Will be interesting to see what happens in the RDL.

10x4 as in setsXreps, or as in repsXsets?

Are you a guy who likes to do more sets with less reps, covering the same total volume as less sets with more reps?

I found out that doing 8 sets of 5 reps allows me to keep better form and intensity than doing 5 sets of 8 reps for example.

She has more than athleticism though... great reading the defenses, quickness, so on and so forth.
