Nice work, BigD. But, at the risk of sounding like my grandmother...."What are you listening to? That's not music, that's noise!!!" She meant well!
Poor Dman. First I pop in here to make sure that milk carton he's squatting on is safe and next you're telling him his music is noise. Next Roland will pop in and tell him to cut his hair or something like that.
Squat 45x10 135x5 225x1 285x5 (all high) 285x5(about half of them were high) 285x2 (all a good 3 inches below parallel)
today sucked. 285 was so easy I dont know why i failed on my last set or why i wasnt going low enough. I decided next week im going to re do my squat. Start out light and maybe bring my stance in a bit. Experiment a little. Hopefully i can fix my problems and start to enjoy squats a bit more. after failing my knee hurt I had no energy and just couldn't lift anymore so i stopped rather than continuing to put up crappy weights
ahaha so i decided this mornings workout sucked so much it didnt count at all. I went to lift tonight and it went much MUCH better
Squats I brought my stance in just a little and I wore a belt for weights over 300
Box Squat 45x10 135x5 225x1 235x1 245x1 255x1 265x1 275x1 285x1 295x1 305x1 315x1PR
Concentric Good Mornings 135x8 155x8 165x8 PR
ATG pause squats 185x6 185x6 185x6
Thick bar hold 205x60seconds PR
This workout was MUCH better

Great job on all the PR's! That's awesome! And on top of that, completing this after already doing a workout in the morning. Oh, and by the way, your "failed" workout would be an excellent workout for me -- you really can move a lot of weight.
I can relate on sometimes workouts just not going as planned. Way to go on your determination to not let this get you down.

Thanks Lance. Bad workouts really piss me off, and always bother me and I knew i had a good one in me

Nice job!
Yea My squat form sucks now. I havnt squatted in a while so it sucks. I need to sit back more and stay tight on the box. Defiantly need to work on the lower back strength and keep more upright. On the last one i twisted because my feet were uneven due to a bad walkout... I cant wait till mono lifts at college
Good job on the squats. You might want to look at Starting Strength for a review of squat form. The thick bar bench is very impressive as are all of your pulls.

I have the starting strength book. Just havn't gotten around to it yet... Between sports and all the reading I have to do for school its hard to get in much reading that I want to do. Im currently working on NROL
From what i see I need to drive my elbows under which will help my arch stay tighter. Taking a wider grip will make this easier. I need to be more careful on my walkout making sure my feet are even. I need to work on sitting back a bit more and staying tight on the box
