Re: Fear's SS + Aesthetics Log
Replace the back squats with a Power Clean + Front Squat (5x3).

Re: Fear's SS + Aesthetics Log
stop bending at the knees first to put the bar down.
bar path on press is curved to avoid your face. the correction is a little nuanced. you need to have your hips more forward (but keep abs and glutes tight) so that your upper body is a bit leaned back, so that a slight head tilt is all you need to get out of the bar's way.

Re: Fear's SS + Aesthetics Log
Also looks like you cut the ROM a bit short at the bottom of the press.

Re: Fear's SS + Aesthetics Log
Kyleb was recommending that you replace the smith squatz w/ front squats, not just add front squats to your routine (excellent recommendation btw). This way you won't have to bother with the gheyness that is the smith machine squat. Don't worry if they feel weird, I'm sure you will get used to them; they do require a little more flexibility than LBBS because proper front squat form is ATG. Your pc will eventually limit how much weight you will be able to use but front squats are like a zillion times better than smith machine back squats...

"don't touch the bar unless its on my chest", "okay sure" he says. what does he do after my first rep? he grabs the ****ing bar for no reason. "you can let go of the bar dere cheif", "okay". he proceeds to do this after every rep. oh sheesh yall.

If the gym is empty just bench with no collars and dump the weight if you can't get it up.

Re: Fear's SS + Aesthetics Log
Your DL form is pretty solid only thing I would reccomend is try dragging the bar right up your shins it looks a little too far in front put baby powder on your shins if you have to.

Re: Fear's SS + Aesthetics Log
If that's 110 lbs you're benching collar away and slide it down your torso if you fail. And that's a lot of failed reps at that weight.
