i know ameritards say it that way (you are an ameritard right?), but 6th of june sounds natural if you grow up on it and june 6th sounds . . . coarse.

Stop hijacking my log you tards

Yup, 6th June, 2009 or July 6, 2009.

July 6th is for peasants.

1st squat work set

1st squat work set for my brother

First time I've videoed myself, which is pretty stupid really. My back is clearly not fully in extension. Appreciate any comments!

After my 1st squat set I felt a pain in my left arm - hard to pinpoint, but midway on my upper arm "deep" inside. Ignored it and finished 2nd set, which made the pain worse. I'm not really used to dealing with injuries of any kind so decided to skip 3rd work set.

Had originally planned 15 lbs more on the bench, but didn't want to risk anything due to my arm. Felt ok after first set, increased by 5 lbs and pain got worse so decided to skip last set. Weirdly enough the pain subsided somewhat at the end of each set. Also the chins were unproblematic.

Right now I can still feel it slightly, pretty sure it'll go away. Have no idea what it was.

you guys both let your knees track too far forward which leads to your torsos being too upright. just remember knees out and sit back. think of breaking at the hips first and shoving them back. the terribly useful block of wood would be a good drill to do to get the bottom position right.

Your bro's squats suck big time, he's lolskinny, get that kid some burgers and milkshakes.

Yours are slightly shallow, knees blew forward at the bottom a few times, but they don't look too bad and it's just going to be minor adjustments for you.

You should ditch the big squishy basketball shoes and get something with a flat, thin sole. I'd guess that would help with keeping your weight back.

this works very well. and definitely push those knees out.

girl in power rack was checking you out. she wants all that man that is you.

your brother looks like the kid from Let the Right One In.

milesdyson's suggestion fixed my problems as well.

This will seem counterintuitive from what you've heard from many sources, but to shove the hips back, you need to lean forward slightly. Too much forward lean is a problem in experienced lifters - like milesdyson said, you have too upright postures.

Sit in a chair by reaching back with your ass. Not falling down into it by hinging at the knee joint.

Thanks, would never have thought of knees being too far forward. The TBW will be used.


He's working on a li'l skinnyfat now actually, but he's always been skinny. Unfortunately he's got coliac disease, i.e. he can't eat anything with flour. To top it off he's milk intolerant...but still, he can eat lots of meat. I've inprinted on him the necessity of eating properly, 3k cals a day please.


Yeah last rep especially was bad.


lol x 2. He does look pretty similar, haha. The old ladies went crazy over him when we were in Italy when he was age 5. "Bianco, bianco!" ("white! white!").


thanks, will keep this in mind and be sure to follow up.


Appreciate it guys!

Hi, tell your brother to stop moving around with the ****ing camera next time. His squats suck, they're shallow. Start over with him, air squats, then the bar.

Heh will do, re: moving around.

It's amazing how weaknesses are exposed on camera...I keep telling him to go further down, he does it for one rep then it's right back to shallowness again.


So basically my brother's squat have these problems:

• Too shallow
• Too upright posture (breaking too early at knees instead of hips)
• Probably something else since at least two people have said his squats are ****

And my problems are

• Too upright posture (etc)
• Slightly shallow

Fixes:

• Block of wood
• Sit down in chair by reaching back with ass
• Get deeper dumbass

Anything else, lay it on me. Will video press and deadlift on Caturday.
