I feel like spamming this thread tonight apparently...

Back extensions: should I add weight every time on this as well? Why/why not?

Rack pull-ups/chin-ups: does the setup with the feet matter - flat bench or inclined bench? Is this ok? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjV83...eature=related.

Huh, M.A.C.'s post made me wonder if I'm doing something wrong also. I've been doing SS for ~ 4 months and have been struggling mightily with squats. Have had to reset a few times due to working on form, taking breaks due to work, and haven't been maintaining much of a caloric surplus. I'm 5'11'' 146 lbs (down from 170!) and my last workset was 3x5x180. Is this really weird?

20 foot front flip

Holy crap. This somehow manages to be not as crazy as it sounds but more impressive at the same time. For me, anyway.

We had a team "decathalon" two years ago with some track events and a bunch of wierd events. Our Long jumper front flipped a high jump bar at 7'2".

loll, so i look and see that i have a PM from somebody, don't recognize the name

the title is
**** YOU
yup.

perplexed, i look at the guys posting history and see that he put up a post i responded to in OOT. It was in the halloween costume thread. Something along the lines of, "FML i bought a greenman outfit XXXL and it doesn't fit, no refunds
5'11" 265

so i responded

I suggest you go as this guy

something about this whole thing really makes me laugh, between the dude trying on the greenman outfit and just bulging and his snappy little pm. i'm tickled pink haha

crossfit london owner andrew stemler is a great trainer imo. instead of just doing a level 1 cert he actually went out and trained in a PL gym an Oly lifting gym and a gymnastics place, qualified kettlebell trainer, level 2 CF etc etc. he's in east london i think, i got some weights in my garage (pic in log) if you wanna travel down to Sutton sometime

i would email him and ask, make sure to say you do SS low bar squats (assuming you do) cos standard CF is high bar but he has trained PLing so I'm sure he would be able to help

Haha thanks Johnny, I actually posted on BBforums but to no avail, really just got flamed, I lurk here a lot and thought I would give it a try, I will start a log here once I get my routine down pat, but if anyone else is around london give me a yell.

Get a log going sooner than later. Upload form checks and get as much feedback as you can. I'm along way from getting anything down 'pat' and am very glad I didn't wait until I did to start a log.

also is it harder for tall guys to squat? im 6ft 2 about 185 (up from 165)

i was also thinking that that im not able to heal enough squatting 3x a week. would it be bad if i only squat on mondays and fridays giving me more rest?

didnt think this needed its own thread. thanks in advance

sort of in same boat. i realize i have issues with rounding my back. when i am doing air squats - warming up - i could see myself rounding. i think i am getting better, especially as of yesterday, but lower back still hurts.

either way BP = squat right now. i am 6.3. 210.

How much can you guys snatch grip deadlift compared to your normal deadlift? what is the limiting factor here?

What is the limiting factor in doing overhead squats? What is this a good lift to improve?

It seems like both are good for gaining mobility. I just did them today...

I've been alternating between front and back squat each workout. I have the impression that front squats help my wrist flexibility, which I'd like to work on for powercleans. Is this a stupid plan? Also, it ******s my linear progress, as I only add weight every other workout for each lift.

did a bunch of homework yesterday on the squat. was able to squat 135lbs easily today, and the lift itself felt so much better. getting this up also made the rest of my workout 1000x better. thanks guys

Kyle I assume that's directed at me. I guess I'll just stick back squats. I hate back squats, however, as I can't get below parallel without rounding my back at least a little, and it's always made me afraid to add weight.
