don't know if I've answered that question, very well TALO! It's the kind of thing you hesitate to give an answer to . My opinion really is that when someone gives you an opinion about injuries, it's no skin off their nose if it bites you in the ass, so if they haven't taken the time to ask questions, etc....I'd disregard it.

What you said makes perfect sense.

Beginning Thoughts:
So my lower body was still extremely sore today (WTF??) but I decided to workout nonetheless. Not such a smart idea...In any case, my diet has been great so far. I like this concept of 40/30/30. I feel a lot less bloated (if at all) and I am having a lot of water as well. I am really enjoying this right now. Classes start tomorrow. I'm dreading this semester although I think I am gonna enjoy most of my classes....Just incase anyone is interested, I am taking:
Financial Administration of Business Firms
Principles of Macroeconomics
Public Speaking
Biological Impact and Issues
Modern Europe
I figure it's going to be an interesting semester with so many electives  Workout:
I began the workout with Speed Squats @ 60% of my 1RM = 195 lbs for many doubles. My lower body was so sore that even after lots of mobility and flexibility warming up and doing quite a few warm-up sets and special emphasis on glute and hamstring activation, I was still a bit off on the Squats. I had a butt wink which I have been trying to get rid of. Very frustrating.
I followed those million (lol) Speed Squat sets with Rack Deadlifts. I did sets of 5 with 345 lbs and then reduced the weight to 325 lbs for sets of 7. On the last set of 325 I think my form basically broke down. I gave up after rep 6 because I just could not get my glutes to co-operate with me! I used wrist straps because my calluses are still a bit sore and I want them to recover fast. The weight per se was kinda ok although on the first few deadlift sets I began by moving my body first before the bar. But I soon found my groove - the problem with finding my groove was lack of glute and hamstring activation: I couldn't feel my ass at all. Normally whenever I do Rack Deads (as y'all have seen in previous videos) I have no technique problems. Here I just couldn't get my groove...In any case, next time I'll try and do better.
After Rack Deadlifts came Reverse Lunges with Front Foot Elevated. This was damn difficult and I was so burnt up by this that I almost vomited....I did some ab work and then called it quits. Videos and Pictures:
Speed Squats @ 60% = 195 lbs x 2 reps

My lower body soreness has disappeared today. I am feeling much better. I think I sort of tweaked my back a little bit on those Rack Deadlifts. But I have applied some balm and I did a few stretches and stuff and everything is totally 100% pain-free. I plan on doing a technique workout tomorrow. I am going to do some ab work and some hamstring flexibility and lower back stability work. I will post some vids of the drills that I plan on doing. It is nothing major...just some stuff which I hope helps in the future.
Have a good week, y'all!

Yeah I don't like straps at all...I am not used to using them for deadlifts at all. It puts my breathing off totally. Hopefully my calluses will heal up and I can start using chalk again.
Regarding the mobility dvd....never heard of it, dude...
