Gotta start using the SLDLs as a foundation to build my regular pulls on, starting by focusing on my CORE TENSION. My leg strength - quads in particular - has always been a strong point but given my office jobs I've started to develop a BUNCH of imbalances and, for some reason, completely lost my neural connection to my abdominal muscles, whose workload over time has been shifted to my hip flexors. Due to my proportions, I find a much easier time to lift safely with proper form cues on the stiff legged deads, as a bunch of shit happens when I bend the knees due to the hip flexors and asymmetrical imbalances.

(1) Upper back tension (pull bar apart and mock-BTN press - lat tension at the bottom to avoid GMing the bar); (2) abdominal pressure on unrack; (3) lean forward to engage lower back (too upright = poor lumbar recruitment and sensation of getting squashed by the bar); (4) splay toes apart and (5) use calves to stabilize yourself in the hole.

Back to an omnivore diet. Recovery and energy levels took a beating as I basically spent half the day recovering from the heavy meals I had to eat to get within reach of my protein goals.

Gonna to a starting strength-style reboot to unfuck my form, mobility and work capacity.

So omnivore diet for good again? Or just a break?
Click to expand...

I'd like to make a plant-based diet work, but for the forseeable future I'm going omnivore due to a bunch of factors - recovering from meals, gutburn, energy levels etc. Perhaps at some point if I shelf the belt "for good" I'll go plant based again.
