Fair enough... I used to be a low bar guy, but I converted to high bar on leg day and fronts after deadlifts and never looked back. My posterior chain always comes along more quickly than my quads though, so low bar was good for numbers but not the best as an exercise for me.

Huuuh, maybe I'll try highbar. I never mastered bar placement for high, but I can make a second pass there.

Yeah it takes a little getting used to. I also bought weightlifting shoes when I switched, I low bar in chucks but the heel makes it a little easier for me to stay in good high bar form. I ran a full smolov cycle right after I switched, nuclear option for redefining your squat.

innnteresting I like it think I need to get back to baseline after better part of a year borderline sedentary but I've toyed with the idea of going smolov and I'll probably revisit in the spring assuming I can keep myself up thank you :)

This is like standing near a discussion of really advanced Erlangers or Haskellers: No idea what happen but vague, nagging feeling it would be good if did.

Any one-stop nutrition advice that generally works especially? Only recently started working out a bit (SL with the app) closing in on 40 and it’s rough.

Hahaha oh man Eat enough but not too much Track your calories, estimate your expenditures, adjust as needed for your goals Watch protein in particular Most important for me: stock your house with stuff that makes it easy to make good meal decisions by default

So, yes on the good by default thing; re measuring cals I should probably just get back on Walker’s hacker’s diet. It’s really well done. How do you do protein? Just lots meat/egg/milk or supplements/shakes?

Kinda depends, but if you're training hard and trying to hit a couple of grams of protein per kilo of bodyweight per day, it gets tedious to maintain without shakes. Especially if you're not trying to bulk/gain weight.

Yeah, I try to stay p lean throughout and even there it applies. I have a lot of frozen chicken breasts, preformed lean burgers, and Trader Joes andouille sausages in my freezer too, plus occasional tuna Basically think about these as standard protein units

Hacking yourself to enjoy eating to meet goals, getting utility from that rather than from the food itself, is pretty helpful if you can manage it Ymmv, as might the extent to which you actually want to spend time actively thinking about recomp etc
