@missmarybutterfly i do between sets but to failure each time! do it on upper body days that generally require less bracing than lower body days, so it works for me

@twinmama omg 2 mods commenting on my post ??? i am flattered!!! thank you both @chrisard

@chrisard ahh i sure did get excited about T3s. now considering cutting them in half! and i will focus on the major lifts instead. i've been running the program for 3 weeks now! i'm used to bodybuilding programs like Body Beast so i'm always kind of drawn to volume whoops. thank you for this...

@gospelmidi thank you for the cues! i try to keep them all in mind when i deadlift (shoutout to the deadlift set-up god, alan thrall) i struggle to keep my core braced throughout the lifts for sure :( . especially with heavy weights! this is the heaviest i've ever deadlifted. i think i need to...

@sharon_m oh!! kind of like keeping my shoulders/back/chest/butt as one solid unit? like a door. bracing makes more sense now. thanks!!

@erinarden okay! just making sure since i pull sumo and do not use a cue like that. i almost use an opposite one (pulling pelvis into the bar). thanks!

@cheryl_trinitarian thank you! :)

@erinarden just to clarify -- conventional or sumo ?

@sharon_m ah that makes sense! muscles have to be working because the weight is moving so standing up until it hits my knees and then pushing my hips (hip thrusting) forward? this is a terrible habit i have! cringeing when i watch me do it. thanks for calling me out because i need to stop...

@cheryl_trinitarian pretty underweight still. gaining weight though! i've outgrown some pants but a more of my growth went to my butt ? it's not huge or anything but i felt like my quads were slacking. going to 1/2 my accessories and focus on major lifts. got it! thank you :)

@anon103 thank you sm!! the major theme i'm seeing is prioritize compounds and chill out with the accessories. and also have patience with muscle growth. consistency is key. will be storing some accessories for the future and rotate them in. make sense to do that with accessories that target...

@godislove32 i was afraid of that! will be lowering weight snd trying to lower time between reps. thank you! also, when i used to do begin pulling on the bar during getting into position, i end up moving the bar back a bit or losing the pressure in my legs, if that makes sense? like it feels...

my deadlifts: thanks everyone! hi! posted this as a comment on the daily questions thread and got amazing feedback! im greedy and want more hehe. 5'3" 18 years and around 90lb. lifting since september but mainly used dumbbells until 4 months ago. deadlifting for ~3 months. started GZCLP last...

@anon103 oh i didn't even think of that. was just piling accessories. thank you!

@mags1234 ahh i'm used to bodybuilding routines so i kind of went for volume + accessories !! i'm going to cut them down by 1/2. i felt like i wasn't pushing myself hard enough on my squats as i'm trying to get my form down instead of focusing on weight. so my muscles weren't actually being...

@forhislight this is a very comforting response. thank you! i definitely did get off-track with my goals i think. if that's what newbie gains are, then they have been blossoming with adding 5lb each week to most lifts. but i thought aesthetics would blossom along with them... whoops but like...

@forhislight i've been hitting the gym since september, so 6 months? random stuff around the gym to a random aesthetic program). lifting for 3 weeks with GZCLP. haven't really been eating properly or recovering well until a month or two ago and my lifts have been going up every week since then...

@teatimebabe28 i'm not gaining a lot of weight or squatting heavy. so basically not doing anything you did 🥲 shit. makes sense. thank you for commenting! def gonna cut down accessories and focus on getting my compounds down

@theadmiral holy shit. the rave party lights make it amazing. admiring but i could never do that.

@theadmiral thank you!! checked your profile and saw your post about learning/trying Zercher squats. and now, you love them enough to recommend them to me! kind of motivating to see someone learn a movement and grow to love it :')
