"Shitty ROM and bad bar control" or "why the hell is that guy using the vagina pad on the bench press" are common thoughts that run through my head in the gym. I kind of want to work out at home to improve concentration, but I live in a sardine can so even if I had the money for an olympic set I wouldn't have the space. | ||

#2 Other than that I'm making progress in the weightroom. All numbers are with the 20kg barbell added in. Squating 55 kg Benchpress: 40kg Deadlift: 95 kg is my max, but I'm taking it easy after the discomfort to avoid any injuries and figuring out if my form is right or wrong. After reading all your comments about powercleans makes me want to give it a go sometime. Gonna focus on my form in the basic exercises first. They feel hard enough technically as it is. | ||

Nonetheless, Deadlift is a pretty lower back intense exercise, some "pain" isn't abnormal. | ||

Are you familiar enough with your body to distinguish between intense soreness and pain? Are you a regular gym goer who just started SS, or played contact sports in the past? I know a ton of people who consider soreness "pain" and as such can't tell when they've simply worked their muscles out well, or actually have something to worry about. But like funkie says, post a vid of form, and if you feel uncomfortable do a reset and concentrate on your form. | ||

It might just be that when I'm returning the barbell to floor that it's strecthing my muscles more than usual. I wouldn't say it's soreness as it doesn't feel like its the muscles complaining. I'll try and get a camera for showing my form. | ||

Sounds to me like you're rounding your back when you put the barbell down. You should watch out for that, of course especially when you're doing the actual (dead)lift!!! If you've never done deadlifts before now, make absolutely sure that your form is where it should be before loading the bar with 95 kg | ||

Cheers for the help people. | ||

Vagina Pad for benching 2. Curling in the smith machine 3, CELL TECH - things my friends do that I will never understand. Found myself being a gym snob yesterday too, in between sets of power cleans, my buddy and I were standing by the squat racks, and there were two guys using them. The guy I was with has only been going to the gym with me for about three weeks now, but when I asked him about the guys next to us, he successfully pointed out every problem they were having with their squats to me. Proud fatherly feelings. | ||

I'm on a state, where It doesn't show too much that I'm "in good shape" but when I take my clothes off, people notice. this is the best day evuurrh :DOne quick question, is it safe to do Cleans and Power Cleans the same day? is there any danger? halp halp halp! | ||

Okay, I must have missed something real important because I've been bending over and placing the bar on the floor when the deadlift was complete. Cheers for the help people. OMG i just cringed when reading this. PLZ DONT DO THAT T_T yesterday my online poker account got shut down randomly after I I had just deposited some cash so I could start playing real money. >__< I wasnt going to work out that day but i was pretty fucking pissed so I had a rage-fueled workout. Squatted 3x5@180 ezpz! (new pr) My squat has been going up steadily the last few workouts since I started doing it properly lol I usually workout in my basement (bought myself a squat rack and barbell set about a year ago, havent used it nearly enough though) but when I go to the gym ive actually never seen any1 curling in the squat rack. I have seen liberal use of the vagina pad though, lol. A few months ago I was doing squats w/ a friend, and this old guy who looked at least 60 came and asked to work in w/ use, so we were like sure ok. Loads up the bar, does a perfect set of 10. Next to him theres another guy in the smith machine w/ the vagina pad, doing quarter squats w/ 200lbs rofl. I Also discovered (i think) why my performance has been declining in soccer ever since i started paleo. not enuf carbs b4 the game!! I was basically going super low carb w/ vast amounts of meat and a few veges and fruits thrown in randomly - which is great for muscle/fat ratio, but after my first couple shifts on the field Id just feel drained and lethargic. I realized a few days ago this started happening pretty much exactly the same time I stopped eating stuff like rice pasta and potatoes. I bought a big bag of yellow (delicious :D) potatoes, a yam and some raisins to test out my theory @ my next game on Sunday. going snowboarding over the weekend for the first time in like 8 years with a bunch of friends. im pretty fucking excited :D | ||

Some guy @ the university gym here told me that my DL form was fucking terrible (it was) a long time ago when i just started lifting, it helped me a lot and I probably wouldve injured myself seriously if i had continued half assing it. | ||
