I am recovering from a serious back-injury due to bad form on the squats. Meant I couldn't do deadlifts either. For both, you have to have a core of iron. Keep the weights on squats easy - I find you can more easily do heavy deadlifts than heavy squats. Spend that time strengthening your core - weighted crunches, etc. Your diet strategy sounds fine. I've tried cutting and bulking simultaneously too, but I enjoy myself more doing one at a time. Remember to take breaks from the weights every 8 weeks. I'll be starting HST wednesday, and I expect great things. Good luck.</blockquote>
