The psoas is the corest of core muscles. It connects our upper body to our lower body via spinal chord + pelvic bone attachment.
Its often neglected by most people who lift but actual athletes have to train it to be able to move in an athletic manner.
An exercise I figures out (it probably existed before my discovery) is where you stand in a squat position, knees bent, hands up (shoulder height, facing the ground) and head up high, ears above shoulders, ass sticking out too. Then jump, keeping a straight spinal chord bring your knees up to your hands, tapping them and then coming back down.
I find this to be very effective since the other psoas exercises involve no power, which the jump provides.

Record yourself doing that and share it with the board please.
Thanks.

I think you try to get your ears below your shoulders with your head up high.

ask your RA how you would go about requesting a mattress change. complain about low back pain.

Can any veteran lifters comment on newbie gainz. How much did you gain in your first year? Second?
If you gain around 50 pounds while maintaining the same bodyfat in your first year what can you expect in your second?
Anything above 30pound increase at same bf% is completely unrealistic in a natty year
>>39422876
that didnt happen to you mr liar
>>39422893
>>39422898
Well lets use 30 pounds then. What would you expect in your second year?
My headphones broke yesterday while I was working out, which almost ruined everything.

Eating too much/too little
How the fuck I stop eating like a pig in the middle of the night? I just get these huge cravings whenever im about sleep and just have to eat a bunch of shit before going to bed again.
Im in the middle of a cut and this is clearly stalling my progress.
Anyone got any tips for rack of disciprin?
Find something to replace it or just don't fucking do it. Get a nice herbal tea, drink it in the amount of time you would have spent eating and focus your energies elsewhere.
just don't do it
>>39422336
