Links not working. I haven't watched your videos but IMO deadlift form is very specific to each individual. I've seen guys pump out reps of 500+ lbs with ugly form and other guys with super strict form. Just squat down and pick up the damn bar. It's really not that complicated. Squat and bench press form is much more technical and has a much greater impact on the lifts.

If I were you... I would focus on healing, rest, an light exercise until I was ready to go 100% Healing- fasting: a water only fast for a weekend or more if you can take days off will turn on the body's healing process. Then ease into a strict whole foods diet. Veggies, fruits, grains, nuts, legumes and beans if you can digest them. No exercise while fasting then add light exercise while on the Daniel diet. I is practically impossible not to lose weight eating mostly veggies and I would also suggest not using any supplements. You do not need the extra protein and you really have no idea what it is you're injesting when you take supplements. Rest get plenty of sleep every night. If you find it hard to sleep you may be carb deficient and could stand to increase oats and potatoes. Exercise- walking 30-60min per day After 30 days of this you should be lighter on your feel and chomping at the bit to get under the bar again.

All I'm saying is, is that you are obviously very smart and an excellent learner. If you apply just a small portion of that to the study of how to transform your body you will be years ahead us us in short order. Here are a few of the things I have learned and apply in my training. Adaptation is specific. IE push ups will get you better at push ups but will not help your bench and vice versa Compound movements with free weights and weighted calisthenics are so superior to isolation movement you shouldn't even bother with ISO movements until you are quite advanced More sets are better than fewer sets with 4-6 sets per exercise being the sweet spot because although 8-10 sets might be a bit better at stimulating growth the increase in recovery time associated with it is more negative. Going to muscle failure is detrimental to recovery and progress. Going just short of failure stimulates growth and adaptation and you can train that muscle again in 48-72 hrs. Full body workouts are better than split routines. 3 full body workouts per week with 3-4 exercises Using multiple rep ranges and different exercises throughout the week will keep you out of a rut. Whole food is better than supplements. Don't waste your money. That includes powdered protein.

DL 435 x 1 at 183lbs bw And Elevated ring push-ups BW+60lbs x 10

Looks to me that you could benefit from some water fasting (48 hrs no food just water) then going to a Daniel diet for at least 30 days. No exercise while fasting and use walking during Daniel diet to let your body heal itself and be renewed.

Sounds like you could pretty much figure it out on your own then.

Ring push-ups + 60lbs x 50 reps Reg push ups 15 reps New total 99665

9/14/15 Smoothie: 1cup each of: mangos, blueberries, oats, spinach, orange juice. 3 tbsp peanut butter, water. Workout: Warmup - jumprope 20 min Deadlift 225x3 295x3 365x3 415x1 435x1 Chins BW + 50 x 6...DL took a bit outa me so I think I'll skip upper body pull today. Ring push-up BW+60lbs x 10,10,10,10,10...last set was hard RPE of 9-10 and a grinder Post workout: Smoothie- 1 banana, 1 cup each of (oats, blueberries, mango) 2 cups kale, 2 cups OJ, 2 tsp gelatinized maca, 2 tsp spirulina, 5g creatine, 1/2 cup soft tofu, water. I know I'm not supposed to have soy right now but my protein options are pretty limited without beans so f¥€|{ it. Lunch: bowl of leftover curry Snack: smoothie- same as above minus banana, maca and spirulina.

Tofu and soy beans don't seem to bother me at all, but that doesn't surprise me because I grew up eating tofu and fermented soybeans (Natto). All other beans and lentils do it. I'm not supposed to have soy right now on my restricted diet, which I have been on for nearly 2 weeks. I'm doing it for 3 and I think soy will be the first t come back.

Ok now here is another issue. Beans and legumes. I love them but I can't eat them anymore. The gas I produce after eating them is constant even while sleeping and is driving my wife crazy. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Without beans and legumes how the heck do I hit my macros? Oh ya I'm not going to eat purified gluten either. I'm not sure how to proceed

Who the hell named it seiten? Whoever that is they should be shot. I will not ever think of eating something that sounds like satan. Did they even think that through?

9/12/15 5 rounds no rests OHP 95x5 1:00 jump rope Bent row 95x10 1:00 jump rope Front squat 95x5 1:00 jump rope Just testing out my metcon. I think it'll work. I used light weights since I had a heavyish workout yesterday. I was pretty sore this morning and hopefully I got the blood flowing good enough to help with recovery while getting some cardio in. Today's food: Mango and papaya. Didnt measure but I ate my fill Smoothie: 1 banana, 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup oats, 1 cup white beans, water 2 avocado and broccoli sprout sushi rolls. Green Thai curry with bamboo shoots, red pepper, mushrooms over brown rice and 3/4 cup garbanzo beans. Smoothie: banana, 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, 1 cup mango, 1 cup blueberries, cinnamon, water. These last few days of packing it in have been really good. My muscles look full again and the needle on the bathroom scale has reversed and is going positive. All this time I thought it was the diet but apparently it was that I wasn't getting enough calories in to support my training. Hopefully my stomach agrees with the new addition of blended oats to the smoothies.

Meh. Sounds like a steroid or pro hormone. Tough on the liver but who cares right? Cuz you'll be friggin HUGE!!! Jk

I really enjoyed reading this post. Good work man!!!

Run pretty fast for distance. That strips muscle pretty fast.

Yeah, everything on rings is harder but definitely worth it. Best equipment investment by far and they are the first items packed whenever I travel. Dips have always been one of my favorite exercises for chest and I recently did parallel bar dips with 135lbs x 3 reps and 90lbs x 11 reps. I feel that once you are strong enough at regular dips say like the ability to do sets of 30+ then moving on to the rings is best. Once the stabilizers are strong enough, that comes with practice over a few weeks, then ring exercises feel easier on the wrist and elbows.

9/11/15 Smoothie: 3/4 cup oats, 3/4 cup mango, 3/4 cup blueberries, 1 banana, 2 cups kale, 2 tbsp flax seed, 1 cup OJ, water Preworkout: 17 oz coconut water, 2 scoops amino energy, 5g creatine During workout: 1 banana, 17 oz coconut water, 20 oz water. So damn hot out. Workout: Warmup with 15 min jump rope. I'm pretty happy with my jumprope progress. I can now do crisscross and double unders. Yay! Endurance is much better too. I rigged up some 4k lb webbing from pull-up bar for some back squat safeties. Works great but it's much harder since the first rep starts from the bottom of the hole. Back squat: 145x5 185x5 225x5 245x5 225x10 DB row 100(each) x 6,7,7,7 Ring Dips + 50lbs x 8,8,7,7 Tricep ring extensions (think upside dow skull crusher/French press) BW x 12,10,9 Post workout: 17 oz coconut water Smoothie: 1 cup oats, 3/4 cup white beans, 2 cups water. Not super tasty Smoothie: 1 cup oats, 1 cup white beans, 1 banana, 1 cup blueberries. 43g protein, 186g carbs, 13g fat and 996 calories. Damn I think I'm going to be able to hit my calorie targets. Finally! Dinner: 2 avocado sushi rolls, munched on some granola, big bowl of left over curry, and later I went back and had a big bowl of left over Cajun black beans and rice. My intestines feel loaded with oats and beans. Hopefully they pass through just fine. I would hate to find something as powerful as a 1000 cal smoothie and find it doesn't work for me digestively

When I went vegan I just didn't crave coffee anymore. I went from 3-4 cups to 0 with no issues. But that was with a whole foods approach. No processed foods dragging me down plus massive green smoothies every morning injected me with energy to spare. I have a splash of coffee now once in a while but it just doesn't do anything for me anymore.

Peanut butter is good protein. A PBJ sandwich on Ezekiel bread has 15g protein. I could eat those all day. Also tofu is real easy on the stomach compared to the whole bean. Try preparing your own beans from dry and replace the water a couple times while they soak. You could also try sprouting them. I guess I'm having my own bean/legume issues too. Very gassy. I'm not bloated but man do I fart up a storm right now and beans are the culprit. The problem is that right now on my elimination diet they are pretty much all I can eat for protein. "Back blast area clear!"

What the hell is C blood? Are you an alien? Because there is A, B, AB, and O blood types. BTW blood type diets are complete foolishness.

Took it easy today. What I had to eat 3 smoothies each with: 3/4 cup white beans, banana, 3/4 cup mango, 3/4 blueberries, 2 cups kale, 1 cup OJ, water, 1 tbsp flax seed 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds 1 apple 3 avocado, broccoli sprouts and brown rice sushi rolls. Holy crap these are good. I'll have to share the recipe. Handful of oats Large plate of Jap curry see recipe in recipe section of this forum, went back for seconds 17 oz coconut water I know I didn't hit my macros target but damn it's hard to hit over 100g protein with no soy or powders.

Oh and don't puree the bay leaf

So I made a soup the other day...a purée of sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and garlic. It was ok so I spiced it up with some curry seasoning and man it was almost like curry without the chunks of potatoes, carrots and onions. I thought with a little tinkering this could be a perfect curry base without having to add flour to thicken. In the pot goes: 1 sweet potato sans skin cut into 1" slices 2 large carrots chopped into small pieces 1 apple chopped 1 med onion chopped 1 cup dry lentils Enough water to cover and bring to boil. While waiting to boil add: 1 tbsp coconut oil 1 tbsp earth balance 1 tbsp minced ginger 4-5 cloves garlic 1 bay leaf 1.5 tsp salt 2 -3 tsp garam masala 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp coriander 1/2 tsp turmeric 1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds optional Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 40 min or so While you wait cube 4 med potatoes, 3-4 carrots, and chop one med onion. When the 40 min is up puree the contents of the pot and return to the pot. I poured some off to save for another meal after adding some cayenne pepper to taste. I was pretty stoked at this point. Add water to desired consistency. Toss in the cut potatoes and carrots. Cook the onions in a cast iron skillet no oil is necessary and add them to the pot once they are translucent. Oh yeah bring the puree to a simmer and stir ocassionally until the carrots are soft. Enjoy over brown or white rice. You can also add some cubes of extra firm tofu to increase the protein.
