What are you doing just now? Peaking is pretty individual but if you can let me know what your doing before the peak cycle I might be able to help out

Ive found that with some hack squats depending on the angle’s its at, some kill my knees and some feel amazing. If your on one which kills your knees i would def stay away from it. There is too many other leg exercises you can do to hurt yourself for no reason.

The gym is insane, probably the best kitted and best atmosphere in a gym i’ve ever been to. I’m hoping one day he might consider adding a bit more powerlifting kit in the future, id be in heaven then!

By train everyday do you mean weights everyday or just cardio some days? If your training everyday then my question would be why? You really need time to recover especially if your doing hard bodybuilding style sessions.
If you have to train daily id highly suggest programming certain days as “recovery” days, so maybe have 4 overloading days where you hit it hard then three days of recovery where your going super light and just getting blood flow moving.

Depends on what your goal is for the offseason? There is pros and cons to every style of training, gonna probably need a bit more information than that? What do you compete in, what are your weaknesses, how long an off season do you have etc?

Theres a trick we use for front squats where people cant hold the bar, you get some regular straps (not figure 8) and loop it around the bar then hold the left over strap in front. Im sure there must be a way to do similar to a back squat and hold the strap down in front instead to keep the bar tight on your back. There is bar attachments which do similar but as you said money is tight straps may be a better option.
Would take a session or so to get used to but would eliminate your shoulder mobility and still allow you to squat well.

So im a powerlifter so do both regularly, but i think they both have merit. Usually you will use slightly less weight with touch and go since your in constant tension and then slightly more weight with dead stop as your getting some rest. If one feels a lot better than the other id stick with it but my advice would be to do both throught the year. Do touch and go when your doing more volume/hypertrophy work and switch to dead stop when going heavier during a more strength phase.
