I can belt squat, almost 400lb, leg press I did 900lb for 8 reps the other day and my deadlift max is 315lb But barbell squat I can’t do more than 175. As soon as I get under the bar I just imagine squatting down and snapping in half and hurting up my back. How do I improve my squat and increase the weight? (12:00) - My question is how would you recommend transitioning back to maintenance and further down the road doing a cut? Should I maintain my protein intake and just cut back on carbs? (17:00) - I do about 1 hr per day of circuit style resistance training with 15 lb dumbbells/kettlebells. I am looking to start resistance training with heavier loads for body recomposition (increase muscle mass and decrease fat mass, I think I am "skinny fat") and am wondering if I will need to decrease my caloric intake if I start training heavier but with longer rest times between sets and lower reps. —- Social Links: Blog – http://www.tailoredcoachingmethod.com/blog Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/tailoredcoachingmethod Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/codymcbroom YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/codymcbroom1 Email – [email protected] Cody McBroom Has Also Been Featured On: Huffington Post, Bodybuilding.com, The PTDC, Dr. John Rusin, Muscle For Life, Barbell Shrugged, Strong By Design, OPEX Fitness and More…
