 Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | AMH_Power said: I agree totally, long spine....short legs, heavy head haha But, I have some hope...I have deceptively long arms! Might not look it on my bench vids as I retract my shoulder blades well and have quite thick arm bones! The drive to succeed and an indomitable will trumps any lever length though, so I'd never say anyone isn't suited to one lift etc, we all know that according to the laws of physics a bumble bee can't fly... Yeah in the spirit of not being a pessimist I too would never say "oh X person isn't suited to Y lift", but I would definitely say most people have 1 lift they will always always excel at over another. Haven't yet seen anyone's ratios ever startlingly change. But still a "glass is half full" approach in a sense  | ||

we ride at dawn Member 4363, 1442 posts SQ 310, BP 250, DL 320880.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Week 3 deadlift 1 60 x 2 100 x 5 140 x 3 215 x 5 215 x 5 215 x 5 215 x 5 215 x 5 This was pretty hard, but recovering between sets as well as I'd like. May consider a smaller increment next week so the deload falls in line with squat deload, as I predict this failing before squat. No accessory work Cheers | ||

we ride at dawn Member 4363, 1442 posts SQ 310, BP 250, DL 320880.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Todays session was extra, and was done for recovery from last nights deadlift. Deadlift: 100 Singles @ 60kg. I need to make the movement second nature, I'm not hinging my hips as I should, so movement pattern is paramount for me, and will continue to do this on my rest days. Lots of foam rolling, and some rotator cuff work. Although last nights session was steady, today I was in turbo s**t state. So I'm making the decision to replace my X sets of Y on deadlift days, with working up to a final set Y. So next week, instead of 5x5@220, I will simply work up in 5's untill I hit 5x220kg. This shouldn't impact gains too hard, but should help with recovery/sciatica (and I will continue to have a flushing day to ensure enough practise). Tomorrows session, Squat. | ||

I'm doing it purely to irradicate me letting my knees drift forwards, I need to keep my hips higher until the top third so I can hinge my hips through the lift. Previous to this I sort of squatted while holding on the bar. I have no doubt that I'll hit a much bigger pb at the end of this routine, but need to engrave the movement so it's second nature. I'll do this everyday until my heavy deadlift day holds this form naturally, not forced. | ||

we ride at dawn Member 4363, 1442 posts SQ 310, BP 250, DL 320880.0 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Todays Session, Week 3 Bench Session 2: Weighed myself this morning, 95.6kg @ 19.4% BF Bar x 8 60 x 5 100 x 2 140 x 1 140 x 2 140 x 2 140 x 2 160 x 2 160 x 2 160 x 2 Deadlift: 30 singles @ 100kg Had to do 140 for a few sets as I hurt my wrist falling down a hill at the park to prevent my little on face diving into a nettle bush! Kids!!! Anyway, after 2 or 3 sets it didn't feel too bad. Video from set 5 below, a bit conservative to nurse wrist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNr7mTbtbSE&feature=youtu.be Link format doesn't work for the embed... if any gurus can I'd appreciate it.

I am trying to perfect my new high bar form, its getting there, still have a tendancy to fall forwards when weight gets heavier but its improving! | ||

I found out recently just how important it is to push the elbows forwards to help stop unnecessary lean.... See if it helps save me from defeat tomorrow! | ||
