Better idea! It'll make sure that head stays up.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm really happy with the deadlifts I think I'll be able to get to 295 and beyond with the way they felt yesterday. Dually noted on the squats.

Okay I need some advice on what exercises I should be doing on squat , ohp day. I've been sort of doing bb rows and they suck. My goal is to increase my upper body strength and also increase my weak ass bench. I'll do power cleans. I'm still too huge to do chin ups. any advice?

Pull-downs. Kroc rows. Negative chins. Planks. Good mornings.

i would try to work on chin ups, as they are very useful. i was never able to do them for the longest time, so like SM said, negatives and pull downs (chin up grip). if you're lucky enough to have resistance bands at your gym to use those for help, those helped me a ton.

Heavy ass dumbbell (Kroc) rows

Well today after press, I'll try chin ups again (with some kipping) then Ill do kroc rows if those dont work.

See the thread linked in the FAQ. No kipping.

Finally a really good workout this morning. Sleep is messed up again so I worked out from 6:30 am to around 7:20am. I finally did 3x5 for squats @220. Feels good man. Two videos of the second and third set.

Then to ohp. I did these at 110 because 115 was just too heavy. Feels good man.

Earlier this week I asked about what to do instead of power cleans. Some one suggested chin ups, I said I was too fat. Guess what?! I was right.

Someone else suggested kroc rows with dumbells. I said sure and they actually felt really good. I started with 5x30lbs then 5x45lbs and then did work sets @60lbs. They felt a bit light, but I wanted to make sure I got my form down before trying to lift the world.

squats 3x5x220
ohp 3x5x110
kroc rows 3x5x60

squat - Looks like your knees are going too far forward at the bottom, aka need your hips back more. I try to break at the hips first, going down.

rows - I do them on the same side of the bench that my body is on, with the db in the hand that is away from the bench. Just like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7jAIdoORxI

also, kroc rows should be higher reps, taken from 5/3/1:

you want the same foot and hand on the ground in rows, so it'd be righthand/rightfoot/left knee then lefthand/leftfoot/rightknee

also you only need 1 dumbbell, don't hog that **** son

like JR said, Kroc rows are dumbbell rows done in high reps w/ the maximum possible weight. I'd imagine at first, your grip will fail before your back/arms.

I always strap them

I strap in, but I just do 3x8-12 DB rows. When the weight gets over 90 my hands start slipping and my form sucks. Straps allow me to maintain good form so I just strap in the dumbbell rows and double overhand all my DL warm-ups and do static holds a lot as well.

Still have a ****ty grip, but it's getting better.

Yeah, you don't need to strap krocs at first.
