Is it supposed to rest in between your delt and bicep? Or is it supposed to be on the other side of your delt. In which case the bar just kinda rolls into my chest/neck area. Can't imagine that's too good.
Should shoulder be "shrugging" upwards or should they be in a more relaxed and "downward" state?
I have it on the "inside" of the delts and just grabbed the bar hard to prevent it from rolling into my throat

Todays workout. Four wonderful (not) hours of sleep before I hit the gym.
Deadlift
135 x 3
185 x 3
185 x 2
240 x 5
135 x 8
OH Press
(was resetted)
Bar x 5
65 x 3 x 2
90 x 5 x 3
Feeling my shoulders actually get stronger this time.
Had to cut it short. Usually throw in 20 min of cardio, but I had class in half an hour and still had to print out my speech outline, ect. I'll post up a form check vid after next deadlift workout; either that or just do a light set for reference. I can't really tell for sure as I was only using my peripheral vision to check; I don't want to look to the left while doing a heavy set. It'd really eff up my focus and mechanics. And great workout! I still got you on the overhead press, but you got me on everything else  Then again you're resetting, so you're going to shoot past me within the next few workouts!
Going light won't help you fix it, you need a heavy deadlift to show breakdown (just like any other lift). Damn. Fast thread is fast

Squat: 168,5kg 5-5-4
Bench: 60kg 5-5-5
Deadlift: 177,5kgx4,9 (lol)
All in all one of my more interesting workouts:
My squat failed the second time in a row, and I am already on only 1-1,5kg increase in weights, so time to reset. I will drop the weight to 150kg on saturday and will increase by 2,5kg again. And time to sit back more, should be easier with lighter weights.
Yeah, I benched despite my shoulder injury. Let's see how this goes, but every other strategy (strengthening the surrounding area, not doing anythign at all, etc.) has not given me good results. It doesn't really hurt anymore anyway, it just "tickles" uncomfortable, and less so with better form. So I'll just add 2,5kg once a week and see if and when it gets worse. Since I start with 60kg and my PR is 110kg, this should be a very gentle approach.
The last rep on the Deadlift made my angry. The weight was locked out, but it slipped a little bit through my right hand on the way up, so the bar was sloped towards the right. No way that would have counted in a real meeting, but I have not yet decided if I'm gonna increase the weight next week. Did one extra rep 30 seconds later and walked the bar to the pins to make up for that stupid rep.

Using fitday it would appear that I'm getting enough calories.
What fat/carb/protein ratio would be good?

50 minute kayak on the lake, exhausted, but awesome!

Haha for some reason that reminds me of something I overheard at a bar once. My skinny ass friend was engaged in a conversation with the bar's resident Vietnam veteran and crazy person when I heard the veteran say, "Shit boy you're just skin and bones! Don't try and flex your bb guns at me. I have veins heavier than you."
On a vexing note; I've taken inventory of my recent eating habits and I think I've been deficient in protein for the last few days. wtf?

Meant to post this awhile back..
Gym rant: I went to my university's gym the other day at 7 in the morning thinking hey, only the crazy fuckers like me work out this early in the morning. Maybe I'll find me a training partner, watch some people that actually know what their doing for once, or at least get to stare at some cardio bunnies on my way in/out.
Boy was I dead wrong. The only "cardio bunnies" were some ROTC chicks. Besides one cute chick that was running the track (We have a suspended track next to our free weight area - kinda cool actually) I was left to satisfy my own needs for beauty. So I just added some more plates to the bar.
But all hope was not lost - there was big guys in there, they would know what their doing right? If this was an exam, I woulda failed it. A huge guy came in and started benching. This guys glutes were bigger than my legs (no homo) and he stacked three or four 45 plates right next to his bench area. He warms up with 135 and boy was it a sight to behold. I'm sure the unrack was hilarious (I was too busy deadlifting 340 to even care), but when he benched even 135 he would lower it to about three inches to his chest and explosively bounce it on to his chest in the craziest fashion I've ever seen, all the while doing a midair hump as his ass left the bench.
I left my university gym severely disappointed that day, besides the destruction I brought to the university floor from deadlifts. I guess I'll just have to go around noon again, when I at least have something to look at. /end rant

Ah yeah, guess you're right. It'll have to wait until next week then.

Supposedly 20/40/40, but at your weight and strength level just eat whatever the hell you want. Don't worry about calories, don't worry about diet, just eat eat eat eat eat eat EAT.

Does anybody have advice for avoiding uneven pans? It seems like it's affecting the heating of my bacon and eggs. Very serious buisness.

If you grill, you'll have tastier and crispier bacon, with no need to worry about uneven pans. For the eggs, just start them off in the pan, then grill the top.
Works with pretty much everything.

Just to clarify, I think you mean going light won't show it... but the proper response is to start light with good form and increment weights only while you can keep form.
