Probably a technique thing. | ||

Probably a technique thing. OHP is going to be the hardest out of the big 4 to progress on in terms of weight. Check this out, this might help with OHP. 70's Big 3 press fixes Also, gotta remember OHP is a full body movement, so stay tight in your core, quads, glutes etc... | ||

If you haven't already I'd suggest you read Starting Strength, should give you some proper tips about form, but I wouldn't do low bar squats, they're gay. And don't sacrifice form for additional weight. | ||

And don't sacrifice form for additional weight. Yeah, well. It seems as if I have lost fat, if I compare before/after pictures it's quite a difference and I'm not the only one that has noticed. I'm also eating a ton more then I used too. I hadn't eaten breakfast in years before I started lifting 2 months ago, but now I just have too. Anyway, I'm not really worried as long as my lifts are going up. All my motivation stems from that, ofcourse having my body become more appealing is nice, but my priorities have definitely shifted and I never had the goal of getting really big. Just to look athletic, which I seem to be accomplishing. I do High Bar squats btw. Also, just did 60 push ups out of boredom. I remember doing a 100 push up program for months and I could barely do 25 lol. Thanks for the video on the Press btw. Edit: Because you motivated me I ate 4 eggs with 6 slices of bacon and cheese as an evening snack. Gainsssssss. | ||

Probably a technique thing. Your squat is going up nicely :O I am envious. My 5RMs: Height: 1m92 Weight: 83kg Fat%: 11% Deadlift: 120kg 5x OHP: 60kg 5x Bench press: 90kg 5x Pull ups max: 9x wide grip, 2x with +25kg Squats... 5x 80-85kg I have some recent deadlift/squat videos, if anyone wants to help me with a form check I no longer hyperextend my neck and my hips go up slower, so I have more leg drive. I am inflexible, easily spottable. Also, I go way below par (at the heavier sets, it's notice able), so that's a reason why my squat is so much lower than most of the people, since they stop at par or even slightly above. | ||

Squat: Bring your feet closer together. Keep your traps and your core tight the whole time. | ||

Thanks! http://youtu.be/xEF5HZSee4Q You're suuuuuuuper horizontal, even for a low bar back squat imo. Looks like you have plenty of strength for more, i'd keep your torso more upright. On that note, i don't get how people do LBBS, it just looks miserable lol. | ||

Snatch: triples @ 135, 145 / doubles @ 155, 165 / singles @ 175, 180, 185, 190 CJ: triples @ 135, 165 / doubles @ 185 / singles @ 205, 225 I've been working on fixing my second pull in the snatch; I have a tendency to pull too early, before the bar is really into my hips. Was so exhausted after ~ 1.5 hours of snatching that I couldn't go all that heavy in CJ. Which I suppose is alright, since snatch is my weaker lift by far. | ||

First off, I've never done low bar squats. Depth is okay, rest is pretty much out of whack. You turn your feet out a little too much, you don't brace your spine into a neutral position before you attempt the squat. If your upper body simply caves in at those weights you need to work on it and lower the weight, don't sacrifice form for weight. Also your upper body is way too horizontal, part of the reason is the fact that you carry the bar way too low on your back. It should be right above your rear delts but it seems to be on your arms. If you look at your feet when unracking the bar and stepping back you're prone to rounding you back. I haven't read the squat chapter in SS, because I don't squat low bar, but I suggest you take a look at it. And if you stall at these weights you definitely don't eat enough. Trust me, eating is like magic. | ||

@decaf, I've actually read through the squat chapter several times already. I guess I have problems applying theory into practice I'm going to deload to a comfortable weight and work on posture like you suggested. Regarding eating, I'm trying to cut weight (down 20lbs from 4 months). I want to cut another 10 lbs (dropping to 165lbs). Must my lifts suffer? | ||

Maybe you can ask eshlow for some advice. For your DL, if you keep your back angle straight during the initial pull, you won't scrape your shins. | ||

Not mentioned already, but you need to pull your elbows DOWN and your back will alway straighten as a result Jump Squats: (lol they are awesome, just learning) 60kgx5, 80kgx5, 100kg x3 Half Squats: 190kgx5x7, 210kg 20 sec hold OHP: 60kg5x6 (rep/weight/set pr) Weight gain bringing up my squat and ohp, dunno about deadlift cause I cant do it :'( and bp stable which is good. Carb back loading is the nuts, but I'm not 100% satisfied with results cause I've put on some fat because of lack of discipline (eat candy on non-carb days) | ||
