Ever done full/ass to grass squats fairly low weight but max range? I've always been flexible so I don't know if they're for everybody but I really feel them in my hamstrings.

Ass to grass squats force the hamstrings to stretch maximally.
Ive been A2G Front squatting for a while. Now that ive gone to parallel squats im a fucking superman. I can pump em out like pistons moving at 7000rpm at a weight that just isnt fair
The benefits of A2G squatting!
I've been having fun with them for a bit. I'm finally getting my squat up. I've had scar tissue around/in my right knee since shortly after high school(used to do cross country running pushed to hard to often) talked to Dr in 07 and they said surgery was the only way and I should stop running
being the dumbass I was I listened to him....probably worst advice I've ever had
Talked to a physical therapist last year and I'm super happy about the progress I've made with my knee so far. Zero pain as long as I warm it up
sorry for the lengthy write up trukk

How did you get scar tissue build up in your knee? You mean quad?
Yeah one of the tendons/ligaments that attaches to the knee cap had/has scar tissue pulling my knee cap off center.
not a Dr so not entirely sure on the wording or science behind it but that's what I gathered from it. Lots of foam rolling and I'm dandy. Whole lot better than the hack doc telling me I needed knee surgery at 18/19 years old

I'm limber enough, but no, never really tried it much.
Like trukk said. It really works/stretches the hell out of your hams.

Safety squat bar good mornings over regular bar good mornings, and seated safety squat bar good mornings are one of my favorites to bring up my back and hamstrings, blows your shit up

Don't know where to post this cause I don't want to make a thread but; I was asked by someone in the change room if I could pin their ass cause they couldn't reach (no excuse to not reaching they weren't big at all). WTF who asks some random at the gym for help with that?

It was probably someone afraid of pinning themselves. Plus you do look extra trust worthy, unless it's you around a picnic basket.
Did you do it?

No I just said "I'm probably not the best guy to ask" then walked away. I don't want to pin anybody unless they are female with a fantastic booty and let me reap the benifit she of their heightened sexual stateDid you do it?

Code red!!!! There is a flaw in my programming and I am not testing even a 90% single anytime close to my meet I'm 13 days out now and my closest gauge will be 80% doubles so for squat that's like 365x2 that doesn't give me any concept if I can hit 465 or now. I have a 3 day workout week this week and 2 days plus meet next week, I'm thinking cause my current 3 day week is really easy only 3x2 work that I could do my openers as my 4th workout on Saturday then have Tuesday Thursday next week as my deload workouts then meet the follow Sunday.
Any conflict in anyone's eyes doing it like this? I just want to pick up a heavy deadlift cause the heaviest deadlifts I've done in the past 2 weeks is 455 and I'd like to see how smooth 510 would be or if that's too much for an opener

i just finished reading your log and was thinking the same thing.... where is the taper and intensity increase?
maybe just do 90% doubles/triples this week?

That sounds good cause next week is only two work out days too and they are soft deload days. Unfortunate I was incredibly happy with Sheiko until spotting this

My gym finally came through and is holding the mock meet and starting a leaderboard for powerlifting. Shooting for low 1400's total. Gonna open with 455,385,565. I know I'll have more for following attempts in squats and deads , but I'm worried bench isn't going to leave much on the table.
Ass to grass squats aren't that great for most people. Most lack the hamstring flexibility to get in such a position so what ends up happening is lumbar flexion (butt wink) and/or the hamstrings end up relaxing to accomadate the ROM and once a muscle relaxes while under load and stretched, it will never contract the same until you unload it for the next rep.
So really only benefitual if your already flexible to begin with?
