Noted re: extensions. I could easily be doing Bulgarian split squats since I'm very bad at unilateral stuff for better use of my time and GHRs if I want leg curls but we'll see

Split squats or lunges of any kind would be far superior to extensions. GHRs are far superior to leg curls. You know that.

Yeah but leg extensions take less than 5 minutes for 3 sets and huge pump, huge.

The result goes away quickly after the pump does.

Good question. None of the best squatters do low bar as far as I know.

A lot do. Not as much in multi ply as single ply, and not as much in single ply as in raw, but Blaine Sumner who just won ipf open worlds with I think a 1069 squat does.

Raw you have Mike t, Chad Wesley Smith, Ray Williams, and Dan green just to name a few

You can squat upright with low bar if you have short femurs compared to your torso length. Being upright doesn't mean you squat high bar

From what I've seen close-up of people trying to do that, its very hard to keep the bar from rolling. I guess if you can make that happen without rolling being an issue, it would be a good way to squat.

My squat proportions aren't good probably but me being lazy and stubborn doesn't help my short torso medium femurs.

Squats felt like trash for second session in a row. Had plans of hitting 225x6 x4-5 but no way that was happening. Also sandbagged the 185 sets.

Might try some overheards or high incline if my triceps tendons allow tonorrow.

Loco you never asked me for sht. Don't be mad at me because I looked better as a natty than 99% of people while I ate dozens of donuts every month. You and EV can cry about your lats being as wide as your natural waists. You're welcome

Yeah but Hawaiin genes and leverages.

I been doing a lot of pull-ups lately. Got 19 clean ones. Doesn't mean shiet. As a matter fact YouTube 20 pull-ups. Have never seen a larger selection of DYELS in my facking life. Almost all of them look like shiet. The one arm pull-up guys look even worse.
