Thought he was small and weak. b) shit form on PC and CJ c) don't worry we all have shit form d) on PC: you're not finish your pull at all. get those hips through like youre banging heidi klum (newly single??) e) on CJ: calm the fuck down. it's not a race. Pull the bar and get the fuck under it. Then once you have it racked, split those feet like a mother fucker. once you have it over head don't race to get your feet together. split, then once it's settled push off your front foot, then bring your back foot forward. Look at the OP of the oly thread. f) rofl @ the fat ass curl bros staring at you while you man handled those FS | ||

My workouts are going well, Bill Starr 5x5 is more fun than Starting Strength imo. Still getting good gains. Just a few quick questions though: Bill Starr asks for 3x8 dips, 3x8 curls, 3x8 dips as assistance on friday and situps/hypers on the other two days. - How much time rest do I take in between compounds and assistance exercises? - How long between sets of assistance exercises? 2mins across the board? - If I get a set of 3x8 done, do I progress in weight straight away, or do I keep using it untill it gets easy-ish? - What is correct form for shoulder dips? I'm training for strength. | ||

In pretty much all your exercises it was too far forward, making your back bend and your balance shift onto your toes. | ||

I've had as a rule that even if I feel like I just got hit by a train I show up to the workout and at least warm up and do my mobility stuff. If I still feel like shit and the weights are not moving at all I call it a day. There are countless sessions that turned out to be awesome (like the one where I finally managed to break my 100kg bench press plateau after 8 months) but felt horrible in the beginning. Today's workout: Squat: 190kg x 1. All coming back ! | ||

Also, that is a beastly squat. | ||

Of course I'm still lifting light weights (even though they feel heavy to me). What I mean is, if you usually Squat 120kg and for some reason you are not feeling strong enough to pull it out, it's better to go home and come back another day. You can even risk an unnecessary injury. If you are not a professional athlete I think that's the best thing to do. I disagree. I have my workouts for at least the month (usually 3 months) planned ahead and I dont skip them unless a relative dies or something. Even then, I usually dont skip them. My spread sheet is already written, I just go there and follow what I planned ahead. | ||
