Moderate snow coverage has me on hiatus until the ice-water melts off. I have reduced my work-plan to a four day regiment: in which secondary lifting is left for the fourth day opposed to a three day, primary-secondary plan. My lifts have gone up incredibly, regardless of the hectic days that force me to lift at mid-night. This being at the cost of adding a few pounds.
About 15 or so to be relative. So, about 205LBS? Not good, I enjoy the increase in maximums but not at the cost of adding a few unwanted and unnecessary pounds. I think cutting a few hundred calories won't break my consistent gains? Especially - now - with this new elongated plan that has primary lifting on four day leaps/rest, instead of three.
Nevertheless, It's in the hands of nature (weather) now, so it would be best to settle for keeping my gains, since the snow'll be coming on a fort-night bases, come Winter.
I enjoy the fact that my body is more responsive to lifting when its exhausted. Shit feels weird to me on Sundays when I'm fresh as can be.

IF YOU'RE GAINING ON LIFTS I WOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
YOU WILL MOST DEFINITELY REGRET IT IF YOUR GAINS DROP.

I think you're right. Well, the lifting regimen will continue to be a four-day regimen, since I believe the former was too much on my body at this moment with all the shit that is going on (classes and work). As for the calorie intake, I think it's just a matter of actually refocusing on a better selection of where I get them.

Taking a chance tonight. Skipping my rest day and doing rotator cuff exercises and flat bench close grip 5 sets and grip grip 5 sets. Hopefully it's worthwhile. Been incorporating some rack pulls yesterday managed 235kg x 3 reps (starting at knee level). Should be able to get 245-250 for 3 next time I hope as i managed that on my 4th set yesterday and did deadlifts the previous day.
Really trying to gain some mass. I want to gain 10lbs by Jan 20th. Hopefully I can get close. Hoping to deadlift 230kg and bench 140-150kg by late Jan at less than 75kg bodyweight. Ultimate goal is 300kg deadlift at 75kg but that will take til i'm like 22-23!

PS I order a lever belt waiting for it to arrive hopefully this increases my deadlift and rack pulls on maxes a little as i've done them with no belt forever.

oh yeah.
Haven't really been doing much, honestly. Most of my workouts have been reduced to really simple dumbbell stuff, coupled with a shitton of pullups and pushups. All of my lifts have gone down without access to a gym, but I guess I'm able to do a lot more body-weight exercises. Mass hasn't decreased too much, but probably will soon if I don't get back in a grind.

I'm starting to do reverse pyramids for squats. Makes me feel more secure squatting low.

Overall mixed feelings from last night's squatting session. I had two occurrences where my right hamstring/leg could not properly adjust to the hole and so I was forced to lose depth. This happened on both first sets of their respective first reps. I had an incidence in the third set (moderate) where the weight transferred to my toes and so risking my knees. Based on the fact that my 3of3 went well (Much heavier), I don't know why I had such problems - Overconfidence? I mean: After this increase in power, perhaps I underestimated the [now] lower weight and lost focus on the movements?
Damn those two days of hiatus. I've completely lost my foot placement, and I resorted (as I always do) back to my default: A narrow shoulder width apart, stance (Comfortable but dangerous). I think I enjoyed a stance a-bit wider than shoulder width apart, but not too wide that the weight didn't transfer to the lower inner-portion of the heel? When doing heavy loads, I would force the weight from that region to the center and so lose the possibility for an accident from imbalance. Fuck if I know.

Interested to know Junior so you reckon you squat better slightly wider than shoulder width? I feel like I can squat way way more very wide stance toes pointed slightly out than shoulder width. I feel like I hit the legs more and have a big balance problem with feet at shoulder width, I feel like my lower back takes a lot of the weight if narrow. It's weird. not sure if anyone feels the same. I don't ATG squat, I go to parallel. Although i notice I have no idea what my stance should be. I really need to sort it out as It will be 65-70kg behind my deadlift soon if I'm not careful LOL
Also do you guys squat with knee wraps? I seem to have to do a half squat on the first rep, then 3/4 squat then full squats for the next 8 reps in a set as I feel i can't get to parallel on the 1st rep without my knees giving way!!! not sure what's wrong with me. I've changed my routine it's now triceps/shoulder/chest, back/biceps, legs/abs.. 3 day split over and over no rest days.

Yes, I used to hold a wide stance. I believe this type of stance to be the safest and it does do wonders for balance and transferring the weight to the legs. The reason I don't go too wide is because I find it uncomfortable that the pressure go to my pelvic area as opposed to the lower back when in a smaller stance. Another reason is simply because my hole tends to be lower than parallel (not by much, but enough) and it's very difficult to calculate that hole the wider I get.
I don't have many problems with imbalance, once I get my groove back, but I think my best foot placement is slightly-wider-than-shoulder-width-apart, stance. At this stance, my back doesn't get a significant load and the emphasis still continues to be the legs.

I've tried a lot of different stances and find even very wide I feel it in the lower back. But the narrower I get the more I feel it. But I notice a lot of people are at shoulder width and they always notice I have a wide stance. I'm not comfortable going ATG as when I was young I actually displaced 2 vertebrae in my lower-middle back I have the safety bars just below parallel to give me an idea of how low to go. And it's still the pin point of where I feel most fatigued at the end of any workout. It's perfectly fine for deadlifts, rack pulls, bent over rows, pull ups w/e but squats is the one thing it hates. I need to sort my form and technique once and for all for squats as it's sorted for everything else. I've tried squat shoes but they were awful for me, regular trainers were much better. I couldn't imagine ever doing squats in competition tbh, only deadlift and maybe bench someday.
