Could also be psoriasis. Mine showed up suddenly and I've been beating back the outbreak for around a year now. Good news is, light therapy is generally covered by insurance and super effective.

Squat max went up from 330 to 365! Success! Also, wife is thinking of joining the gym, so she came along and got to witness. Free Willie's willie will probably get rewarded later...

I'm eating intuitively, as it is my first time doing Squatober. I actually ate a little less overall, but pretty much stuck to whole foods (other than the protein powder and some pb).

I'm not a new lifter by any means, but I confess I'm not big into mobility. I want to participate in squatober this year, but I'm afraid injury is quite likely given how stiff I've become, especially in the hips and spine. I'll be turning 36 in August and have two young boys who's current favorite activity is jumping off furniture on to daddy. It's fun, but I'm starting to feel that too.

I know mobility work is the answer, but I want to make sure I'm doing the right things. If you were in my shoes, how would you maximize 3rd quarter prep for Squatober? Any programming suggestions for mobility or specific strengthening of stabilizer muscles?
