@Release: Yoru squat will catch up soon, don't worry. In the beginning everyone feels strange, because their lifts are not what they are supposed to be. | ||

First I wanted to get changed after work because I sweat too much, chickening out, then had a sandwich, chickening out, then went on TL, SUPER CHICKEN OUT, then had a beer to drink, and THEN wanted to go on the dance floor. The cutie, the blonde angel who had been dancing alone since my sandwich got snatched away by another guy as soon as I entered the dance floor, which was when the slow song started. Fuck the dancing stopping at 1 AM but mostly, no wait, ENTIRELY, fuck my pussy shit. Tomorrow I bring spare clothes to work, no beer, no fucking sandwich, straight to the goddamn dance floor. My hands will be shaking (really dislike dancing), but I'll tell myself to man up. It has nothing today with going out in a country where I know nobody nor the language, and everything with having to man up. But tomorrow I will rape the gym. Rape. Won't swear as much after these two posts, sorry for being such an emo douche tonight. Whenever I am sad, I will stop being sad and be awesome instead. Tomorrow I shall be fucking awesome. Good night everyone, sorry for blog post. I love your mindset man if you wanna be awesome, JUST BE AWESOME! if the girl really likes you she wont care that much about that one night imo!now show that barbell who's boss! much bro love zaf | ||

The standard is that you only have 1 set of deadlifts, that's what Rip recommends anyways. Thanks Zaf, payday tomorrow and new shoes and new haircut and raping the gym, so it should be okay. It's just that I feel so awesome about myself, my 'game', my video game skillzZz etc. and when it's so blatantly my fault for faillure it's rough. Oh well, crying never got anybody laid, gonna go straight from work to dance from 11:30 to 01:00, if she's there I'll go for it, if she's not I'll latch onto something else. Just dance, dance, dance, that's my biggest fear. And good luck xJupiter. Small tip, after reading Bob Rotella (golf) phychology books, almost nothing pisses me off. Like I'm a stoic during sports. Helped a crapton with everything in my life. You can find them on amazon etc. | ||

How is it standard to only have 1 set of deadlifts - it's only what rip recommends no one else does infact ; after I forgot about the 1set of deadlifts by deadlifts went from 90kg as being to hard to 140kg as being easy within the space of a month and a bit so ... Keep repping deadlifts bro. Here's the deadlift routine I did to boost my deadlifts hugely ; "Deadlift 1x5, using your 5rm maximum Then drop the weight by 20%, rest 3 minutes and do Deadlift 3x5, (at least 3 sets, if you can do more, do more!) but with only 1 minute rest between sets, 90 seconds at most. It'll burn, get it done." | ||

What you really are saying is that one should keep working up to a single set with your 5RM and then back a little off and do some lighter sets where you focus on being explosive. Sound advice although my preference is to keep the top set in the 1-3 rep range and then doing multiple sets of triples after it. Which is pretty much like Coan-Philippi works | ||

Bench Press 52.5 kg 5-5-5 Deadlift 57.5 with double overhand grip, hard. Question: When I supinate the grip of my left hand (palm upward) I can deadlift way more. I don't think I can keep up with my squats with double overhand grip. Would you guys recommend me to change my left hand grip so I can start DLing heavier and keep up with squats, or should I continue with double overhand and probably fall behind on squats? Having trouble keeping form already, takes a lot out of me with this weight and this grip. SHOES ARE AWESOME btw. Good day after all | ||

Good day after all Mixing your grip should only really help with Grip, not with the rest of your form. If your whole form is helped by going mixed grip, then unless you're actually dropping the bar during reps it's probably in your head. If you're having trouble keeping up, just try increasing more slowly, eating more food and sleeping better. | ||

Try to hold the weights for 5 second or so to build up more grip strength if you want. | ||

Another question; if I increase my DL with 7.5kg per session and lift 2x a week, and I increase my squat with 5kg each session and squat 3x a week, how will my DL overtake my squat? When I can't add 15kg a week on squat anymore? Because you won't be able to keep increasing your squat as much. | ||

Squat: 105lbs bench/OH press: I've only been using the bar for this because my right shoulder is injured Deadlift: 105lbs That was 3 weeks ago, now my numbers are at... squat: i got it to 185lbs but dropped it to 150 to work on my form.( i felt like i was leaning forward.) bench/OH press: my shoulder is still to injured to put weight on the bar but its feeling much much better than b4. Deadlift:205lbs (pretty happy about this, next week i'll be able to get 225lbs easy peasy.) Also started working on power cleans last week, i still seem to need flexibility in my wrists and i have long for arms so positioning is tough. These are pretty difficult to learn. Also i was 150lbs when i started and im still 150lbs i just look a lot better, but i want to gain weight do i just have to eat more? | ||

If you're struggling with pclean technique then do more warmups with lighter weight focusing on proper technique | ||
