DL looks good, break at knees a tad later to avoid the bar hitting them. What's with the rolling start?

Squat looks good too apart from the buttwink at the bottom, meaning your bad slides out of extension. Work on hamstring mobility imo.

Might help to pause a little longer before dl reps to get a really deep breath? Not that it mattered here, because you were ripping that thing off the floor like it didn't weigh anything.

i wish my gym played disturbed

soul- i never did those rolling starts til yesterday. i liked them tho, felt like I got into a good grove. i feel it doesnt change my starting position much, hips stayed where i think they should be, so unless I get a flat out STOP from some of you here then I think I'll keep doing them for the time being.

bone- i was getting a semi deep breath doing my rolling starts haha. and yesterday was a decent day for me, must have been all of the cream puffs and fried noodles I ate over the weekend

yeti- haha its a highschool gym, someones iPod was playing. its the highschool where the probowlers have their football practice at when they had the pro bowl in Hawaii

hit 20 sets of doubles last night with chins and just hit 20 sets of doubles a little while ago

tonight = pendlay rows and some light military presses

sick bench brah. Must be all that manapua ; )

lol manapua.. what u know about that?

Traveled to Hawaii many times growing up haha. Some good **** imo. Tried to get some @ Aloha Kitchen when I was in Vegas last summer but their "microwave was broken" smh.

175x6 military vid on deck

I don't think the rolling start matters - very little of the kinetic energy should translate to upwards movement (i.e. cheating) - so keep doing it if helps you.

Buncha singles with 135, bout 20 or so

Now gonna hit 40 pullups

Bench tomorrow, hope I set a PR

When you're doing little lower body work you can get away with some sloppy programming on the upper body lifts because they require much less recovery. But once you start squatting heavy a couple days a week it completely changes what you're capable of recovering from on the upper body. Just a heads up because this is a problem I ran into when I transitioned from primarily upper body lifts to doing more squats.

dude, you're just a pussy if you don't work out twice a day

/nycballer

doug,

i think that is the case. also i havent been getting much sleep this week. i have a feeling i will stall on squats this friday at 255lbs but i have felt worse before and completed the sets, so im hoping for that.

soul,

lulz

gonna take a long nap then hit some type of bench PR later imo.. will try to get some vids up

Thursday night

Bench
95x5
115x3
135x3
165x2
205x1
225x1
255x1
295x1
250x10
275x2 paused

No PRs, 295 went up kinda slow so figured I try and get a decent 10 repper.. picked the right weight, 10th rep was a grind

Lolcleans.. I think my forms better, vids later
135x3
165x3
15 or so singles with 135

40chins now 40chins in 3hrs too..

Really impressed by your bench/press. Sorry if it's been asked already, but how long did it take you to get these kind of numbers?

my endurance is so bad. like i just did 297.5x4 but i don't know if i could do 250x10.

death- whats goin on in your avi? lol who is that kicking? i have been training on and off for probably 3 years but didnt make much gains til i focused on the compound movements (upperbody, anyway) and implemented military presses. no joke, my gains started improving rapidly when I stopped doing isolation work lol

miles- we can trade if you want, sir. these squats are killing me and apparently making me weaker everywhere else. i just care about hitting a 315max but the end of next month. did 3x5x250 on wednesday. do you think it is doable?
