I guess we’ve all underestimated just what he’s willing to sacrifice for bigger squat numbers.

Mate, I like to improve my squat the old fashioned way. By doing them well above parallel when they get too heavy.

Mate once you do this comp then I reckon you should join me on my training journey. I need a wingman and you have all the attributes
Old and bad dress sense

This approach is actually much better for most physically active people than some gurus would have you believe (man the more I’m beginning to understand about physiology the more I’m starting to hate guys like SquatU, haha). Unless a real problem starts to present or is recurring with certain movements obv.
What you’re feeling just tells you that the area is sensitive. That can mean there is a potential tissue damage but much more likely: There is not! You can use neuromodulation techniques to manipulate your CNS in order to desensitize the area and allow for more pain free movement for a short period of time (rolling your glutes with a lacrosse ball) if you want to have an easier time getting into your session.
Don’t stress it, be mindful with how much your body can tolerate and you will be fine, mate!

Thanks mate. We have been gagging to get away for a while now. Really looking forward to some winter sun and getting my bulk on with some good food.

Love this and should print it and put it on the wall. Quality
Absolutely. The number one cause for injury is and always will be that you’re doing more than you can recover from (in a bio-psycho-social context). And not how your leg axis is set during your squat or how many degrees of spinal flexion occur during a heavy deadlift.

Being equally sexy could just mean you are both a couple of uggos.
Not to me, of course, I would totally hit it. No homo.

Well that depends on what those two words mean, but I suspect we are on the same page here.
