**RULE the WEIGHT !!!
... Whatever that may be! ...
*Depth (among MANY other considerations) is Key for Fully Functional Squat training (Any Style), balancing Strengh and Mobility!

Choose weights used or YOUR Progression and Goals, with the ONLY comparison being to yourself and past sessions. Good ones and poor ones. Aim to Progress with your Weight used, but within specified parameters, which should be UNwavering. Here, was a high-bar back squat set. Notice the DEPTH. Notice the Flat Lower BACK. Notice the Flat FEET, Heels Always Down. Notice the Hip, Knee, and Ankle MOBILITY under Weight. Notice the TEMPO. Notice the bottom Slight PAUSE. Notice the CORE engagement. Notice the Last, 9th Rep tougher PUSH to near Failure with NO compromise to ALL above mentioned... THESE considerations are how I have gotten my legs back in action, NOT the specific weight used! Legs and Core are the foundations of our controlled movements. Now, how about your leg Strength, Mobility, and Functionality? ...

SO Much Detail to Discuss!!!
ANY Questions or Comments???

**PROtein HACK!💪😋
EGG White Chocolate 'Milk'
.. Think you are getting enough Protein for your goals and needs? Unless you are actually tracking your intake, probably not! Even if you Are, a pint of 100% Egg Whites (ZERO additives or preservatives) with a tad bit of even 'junk' Chocolate syrup is a great way to add 50g more Protein to your day simply as a snack, not even via a meal. DO NOT fret! The consistency is NOT slimy, and has the viscosity of whole milk. Egg Whites are a Natural, Highly Digestible and Bioavailable, Complete Protein source, with pretty much Zero fat. A pint of this is around $3, which is the cost of some other crap drink. The tiny bit of Choc. syrup will add a few grams of sugar, but unless you are diabetic or on a Keto diet, is not even worth considering. That will get burned by simply being awake, living, and breathing, lol😏👍 The little sugar will provide a tiny insulin response which will help assimilate some of the digesting Amino Acids into muscle and other body tissues where needed. Yummm!🤍

**Create some SPACE🤍🙏💜
Space in your Heart,
Space in your Mind,
Space in your Soul!
DEclutter those spaces to create room for the Divine in your 'self' ..
Finally got this gentle space set aside for some Very Important pieces of Wellness and Wholeness: Meditation, Prayer, Breath, Yoga, and Stretching. A little space set aside, can be even a small corner of a room as needed. Simply setting aside a small decorated area for this purpose begins the commitment. Begin every day with even 5-20min. of gratitude there. We ALWAYS have Many things to be grateful for. Focus Awareness on Those!!! S**t is Always going wrong in some manner for most of us, which BEcomes us if we feed it. Everybody struggles. Everybody hurts. And Everybody has SOMEthing and SOMEone to be Thankful for❤️🙏

Peace All🤗

**Know Your GOALs💪🔥..
Perhaps one day (or Not🤔), I will care about aesthetics, but for now I just got what I got. I train hard and smart for strength and mobility for my purposes. I also eat clean and healthy 2/3 of the time. I have No desire right now to deny myself some food and alcohol indulgences for purposes of leanness. Props to those who do, but I will continue to often enjoy pizza, fatty burgers, chocolate candy, and ice cream, etc, etc🤣😋 Since Jr. High school, I had strong legs, and thick thighs. A few years ago, that strength and much size was taken away. My primary Goal since then has been to regain that strength and some size while still getting older. I am beyond happy with the progress made, and will continue to make. Even here at 22-23% body fat, my legs still got some pop and tone, simply by default, and due to the work put in🤟😉

*REBUILD or get on DYIN'🤟
What is possible with purpose, commitment, heart, and continuous work? ... Anything!!!🔥
Back to this Single-Arm Sn**ch goal 6 yrs ago,! ... Now, 6 yrs older, depression, cancer, horrendous chemo, rebuilt right shoulder, long rehab, no exogenous hormones ever, no TRT (yet, lol), torn meniscus, cervical impingements, lumbar arthritis with disc protrusions, etc, etc.
Getting older, but not often wiser, lol🤣 First, I do Not recommend this decently dangerous move for most. Too much potential for mishap and injury. I do it to Force my Focus. That, or pay a steep price! I am stubborn, but aware. Power, Explosion, Body Awareness, Focus, Mobility, and Strength culminate here. I can still improve in So many ways, especially Technique and Mobility. In 2018, my immediate goal was to get the yellow plates on the bar (35s for 115lb total). Even then though, I did not do 95lb for 4 reps as now. I also just got the 110lb solidly then. Therefore, I am Back and past where I was then. Both arms were done, just showing rebuild right side here. Just a little time delay. Momentary lapse in season. I got by with a little help from my Friends💜 ... Onward and Upward as we were💪😎

***HEALTH (Body & Mind)
MOS BENIs (Most Beneficials):

--SLEEP (Quality & then Time)
--WATER (w/ dietary &/or added Electrolytes)
--BREATH (Conscious & Deep)
--MOVEment (Bodies must Move!) ...
.. Diet & Exercise are SO Important, yet may not even be Top 10 mos beni! Also, body health follows the mind (& vice versa.) Besides Sleep, Hydration, Breath, & Movement, there is: Reducing Stress, Mobility (bending, extending, twisting), Posture, Positive Attitude, Supportive Relationships, Love & Kindness, Presence, Prayer, Meditation, Gratitude, etc, etc! Until the foundations are solidified, habitual, &/or being worked on, diet & exercise shall have diminished benefits. If the foundations are being fortified, then Diet, Exersice, Endurance and Strenth, LET's GOooo!!!
💪😎🔥🔥🔥❤️

**This is a really good 33min. for those interested in how much to purely rely upon scientific studies for Training methodologies. Science indeed has value in helping focus and direction, but surely does not present final, unquestionable answers!💪😎🔥

*Controversy ALERT, lol💪🤣🤙 ... Any thoughts, feedback, angst, or support on Mark Rippetoe's statements here??? ... This is not my opinion, but I do feel there is some value to this. I have been doing Yoga in various forms since 1999, and it has been an Amazing journey and incredible Balance to my other Training modes. I will never be without Yoga at some level in my routine. If I had to pick just ONE modality to Train with, it may even be Yoga! Keep in mind, as Mark should, that there are SO many styles of Yoga, with differing purposes. Each individual also should tailor their incorporation of Yoga into their Training regimen to support their own personal goals. Yoga is a Process and connection between Movement and Breath, not merely attainment of some human pretzel-like poses!💪😎🔥❤️
