RIP ipod touch from 2008/9ish. I was doing DB bench and didnt feel it drop out of my pocket.
DB went right on it.
that really sucks... It's why I always keep my belongings outside of my pockets and place them in a spot I know I won't drop my dumbbells on. Keeping things in my pockets while lifting doesn't feel natural anyway

OMFG. Day 1 on Smolov squat today. After the third set the only thought running through my head was - what the fuck did I get myself into. Finished it though and it felt good. Posted via RS Mobile
^haha enjoy the next few weeks! Don't hesitate to take longer breaks if needed. There were times I was taking up to 10 min breaks.
End of day 9 for me. Something else clicked. I started driving my head and upperbody back into the bar asap on the way up. This allowed me to get my hips under the bar much sooner and made things so so much easier. The next 3 workouts should be easy mode if I remember what I learned in my last 2 workouts.

Haha! I was trying to stick to 2-3 minutes rest between sets. My cardio is bad, lol. Posted via RS Mobile
Haha I went anyways! Only did 3 exercises, but I had a lot of energy strangely.
And you're a lifesaver! I focused on glute activation at the top of my squats and I literally felt ZERO lower back soreness.
I've had that issue for over a month, but it got worse as time progressed. I really can't thank you enough for the suggestion!
Awesome man! Learning to use my glutes was a lifesaver for me too. Not only helped me with my lifts but helped a ton with everyday poor posture and back pain from poor posture.
glute activation as in squeezing the glutes at the top?
not just squeezing them, but starting with tailbone pushed to the back and squeezing them TO drive your hips forward. if done properly it should be squeezed the entire way through and so I'm guessing fcukked didn't have em activated at the top portion of the lift?

Pulled off a 295 squat a couple months ago. Not sure if it was because i was in a rush to finish combined with lack of sleep, but i was so focused, like i was on pre-workout.
I can't seem to find that same mentality or find what i did that day that got me that squat, 275 is a struggle now.

how's your squats doing brah
squat has been stalled
if i'm lucky i'll hit 315 on friday
but i'm just going to play it safe for the comp and go up to a max of 305 as conditions are different
worried right now because me and my friend dun goofed and we don't even know whats going on and how it's going to flow by missing the workshop
4-6 mins between sets? do you lay down with a pillow and read a book while you hog the squat rack? lol
if you have to wait that long between sets i hope you do something else between like chin ups or something. man that has to be boring
Spoken like someone that's never done any heavy squatting.
Take 90% of your 1RM. Do 10 sets of triples with it with short breaks then come back and talk lol.
As for it being boring, there is nothing boring to me about getting stronger.
good day, legs are finally getting stronger after ACL sprain and low bar is amazing
bench : 205lbs with 5x5 ( finally passed 200lbs, now onto 2 plates)
squat : 195lbs with 5x5
hamsting curls : maxed the damn machine at 195lbs with 5x5, gotta find a new workout
shrugs : 570lbs with 5x5 (shrug maxhine)
