I keep up with the other one, but honestly forget to give a shit about this one.

So good then? lol, yeah I wouldn't be able to keep two logs. Just watched the video you suggested and I think I was doing it right today. I'll just have to get used to it. Still gotta work on the arch though I think.
 
I've seen a guy your size (height and weight) bench 325 raw in competition. If you can't hit that right now, it's gotta be something off with your form.

lol, I appreciate your faith. I'll just keep working at it, I only lost 20 lbs off what I usually rep by making this change and it's essential in the long run anyway. Thanks for the help mang!

I'm thinking some changes to my bench form are much needed! I train on my own in a gym full of posers who look at you like an alien for benching with an arch though, don't know ANY cool guys in the gym that I could get to film me! :icon_neut
 
SNATCH
-I think I'm getting worse at these. I need to man up and ask for some help when the coaches are just chillin'.

FRONT SQUAT
135X5
135X5
135X
-gettin better at these at least. I think I finally found how to keep this thing comfortably in the rack position.

Notes: Gonna make sure I go back on thursday and work on this snatch thing. It's frustrating as hell.

I honestly don't pay attention if someone is looking at me or what. If I catch them I shoot them a mean look though :icon_twis Usually I just set the camera down on something and aim it at the bench.

11 hours you son of a b... I mean that's good that you can do that. I think all of the stress from studying for tests and writing papers is what is affecting my sleep. I took a 3 hour nap and slept 9 hours one day after taking some sleeping pills. It's pretty glorious. I function pretty well on little to no sleep though which is kind of a plus when I need to wake up and do things, but it seriously weakens my workouts and recovery time.

Yea well, being in 11th grade isnt exactly the most stressful thing there is.
Strong olympic lifting in here, I like that. What may motivate you is that this motherfucker here is almost exactly your size:

BENCH
135X5
145X5
145X4
150X3
155X3
-Now I need to work on keeping my shoulders pinched on lockout. I think I may have let them come forward a little on some of the reps. I'm gettin there though, the shoulder pinch is also helping with the arch.

DEADLIFT
135X3
225X3
295X1
315X1
335X0
335X0
295X1
295X1
295X1
225X3
135X5
-Man... I really wanted to set a +20 pr but it's too soon. I could barely break it off the ground.

Notes: I recorded 295X1, 315X1, and my second attempt of 335X0. I guess I'll post it in the ol' log for critique even though it's only 3 reps.
 
Good lifting. I watched Dave Tate's video and read his book about bench pressing, I'm still getting used to the whole movement. I never realized how much my back muscles were involved in the lift.

Thank ya sir, I might have to check out that book. I have seen his video of various tips a couple times already. It seems to be a lot more complex lift than you would think. I did feel that in my back a little more today when I was doing it. I figured it was from doing so much oly lifting the past couple weeks, but maybe I was just benching right :redface:
 
Form looks pretty good from that angle.

I need to get me one of those belts..
 
Nice DL mang. Form looks pretty solid to me! You'll have that 335 in no time!
 
Nice deadlifts, especially for someone your size!

Uhm, I need to stop eating out of fear of weighing more than you!:redface:
