re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

Thanks man! Greatly appreciate your response.
So I looked into the "Bring Sally Up" challenge. Looks pretty interesting, ill definitely try it out. Should I do this on top of my 3x5 greyskull work, like when I finish up? And do you have a progression in mind? Like add 5, 10 lbs each session? Or just stick with the bar? 3:30 of paused squats sounds like enough haha
And if you dont mind me asking, why is my case an outlier/rare? I dont care one way or another, just curious. I thought leaning forward/knees caving was somewhat common for newer lifters.
(congrats on the Natty, btw! My Hawks will get there one day haha)

Hi LSU777
Thank you so so so much for this thread! Ive been reading it religiously for a few weeks now. I started greyskull lp about two-three months ago, and I'm absolutely loving it! I'm not new to exercise/fitness, but I am new to this type of strength training. I spent a year or two program hopping, and f*cking around, so it's awesome being dedicated to one specific program, and I feel like im reaping the benefits. I'm making great gains in size and strength, so I'm super happy. And this thread has been an absolute wealth of knowledge, so thank you so much!
I did have a question about squats (to LSU777, or anyone)- Right now, most of my AMRAP sets are falling in the 9-13 rep range (Ive been increasing 5 lbs/session whether I hit 10+ or not). I started fairly light, but not too light, so the gains have been good. However, I'm struggling a bit with squat form when I get to my 7th or so rep. Ive always prided myself on good lifting form, regardless of the exercise, but when I really push myself during squats, my knees can start to cave a bit, as well as I hinge forward. Its not terrible, but enough to where I can feel it. I can usually get the first 5 ok, but when I really start to go after it, my form starts to suffer. I never let it get to the point where its REALLY bad, though.
The dilemma is I'm not one to keep lifting with shitty form (duh), however, if I were to stop at 5, 6 or 7 reps, I would feel like I have a TON left in the tank. What should I do here? Is there a plug-in you could recommend that would help? Ive debated using Wendler's BBB style, and once I feel my form start to go (after I get my 5 reps, of course), take the weight down to 50-60 percent, and hammer out a few sets of 10, really focusing on strict form. I'm also a big believer in doing the thing that youre not good at until you are good at it, so I'm leaning more towards this method. At the same time though, I dont want to add a crazy amount of volume, to the point where it will affect my next session. I know my big problem is probably just overall strength/familiarity of the lift, however, I feel just stopping when I have much more in the tank will do a disservice to my volume and intensity.
Just a couple FYIs, I work out at home, so I dont have access to diff machines like leg press, ext., curls, etc., and im a definitely a beginner when it comes to strength programs/lifts.
Thanks again!! (sorry for writing a novel haha)
