Sweet. Do you use bands on your bench work? I always like them better than chains personally.

Well my lower back was feeling weird from the start today so I decided to cut out my lower back work. Also I forgot to wear my chuck taylors to the gym so I had to wear my tennis shoes. They weren't actually that bad I have heel supports in the tennis and when I took them out I actually felt like I was sitting back on my heels more b/c my shoe was lower in the heel. Overall great day and the squats felt easier this week than last so all is good.
 
I hate squating with a close stance...it's like impossible for me lol. Good job bro..

My form sucks off the chest. I am not staying tight it's like I expect the weight to press itself or something. I dunno but deloading next week going to take it real easy. Then going to start my new program, first week will be 455 for singles in the shirt then i'll work from there.

Visualization work will actually help you with the press. :)

yeah I used to do that. I dunno what's wrong anymore. I used to be so tight out of the hole that the fucking weight exploded off my chest. Anymore it's all brute strength getting it off of me
 
Dont loose your focus. It isnt about just being a brute. Think about the entire movement. Different firing points. What the lift will look and feel like. I am telling you it will keep you going to the promised land. It requires discipline just like everything else.

I may take friday completely depending on how I feel. If I do lift It will be some light singles with 275 to work on form. One good note from today is that my arch was awesome and my ROM was very short. I think it also might be from my belly getting bigger

Workout was awesome today. I have never did Rack Squat before so I didn't no where to start as far as weight goes. I had more in me but since this was the first time I figured i'd stop. I'm going to just start killing myself in my workouts. I figure since I am taking every 4th week off I can do this, so heavy weights here I come
 
Thanks guys. I'm sick of pussy footing around with my squat. I want a bigger squat i'm going to have to earn it so that's exactly what i'm going to do
