Is this the reason why my back rounds during squats?

Stronglifts taught me to grip the bar as close to my shoulders as possible, this tightens my back but at the same time loosens my chest.

If i used a wider grip would my chest pop out more, making my form better?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Rippetoe says back rounding during squats is usually due to tight hamstrings.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Hmm, when you do the hamstring stretches do you keep your back straight/arched (I.E. not rounded)?

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Now bend down like your going to touch the floor, however do not round your back. Keep your back straight. Likely you won't get too far down cause of the tight hamstrings. However if you ad them into your stretching regime (and static stretching should be done after a workout) you'll loosen them up nicely over time.. which I think is a big factor in fixing my own rounding issue.

I'd recommend something like, 2-4 sets holding it 30 seconds to be done after each workout.

Do you also do supermans and squat stretches? If not I would recommend doing them too (as stronglifts suggests) as I have done them and can't discount their assistance toward getting my back to stop rounding.

Your huffing and puffing from stretching??

Relax, take a deep breathe, loosen up. And then start stretching. You shouldn't be getting tired from stretching, at least not out of breathe and huffing/puffing.

Also, I do a 10 min run before my workouts, helps to get my body going and to start the blood pumping to my muscles. Warms up the lube between the joints so everything goes smoother and you become more flexible.
You should try it, it might help you. :up:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
