Hmm, weights that fight back, eh?
Sounds like exactly what would happen to me, only I'd lose a couple of teeth in the process, manage to break a chair and step on my own foot all at the same time.

ha classic.Im pretty accident prone myself at times.I had it coming to me with this though.:D

foam rolling
back
hips
hams
glutes

.Im trying to be as metodical as I can with my form.Im coming to the realisation that until I start to dial in my form I will constantly flounder and no amount of assistance exercises will help that.


Thoughts:

Dead-I was playing around with different form. All the sets where I wore the belt I tried rolling the bar away then back to me.That doesnt seem to suit me at this moment in my lifting.I also flipped the belt around so iv more surface area on my abs to push against-meh no change. I then took the belt off and moved to a narrower stance, like outside heel inside knurling when looking down if that makes sense and tried dropping down quick with bar close to shins.

Bench-This was the best benching in a few months embarrasingly enough. I was very concious of setting up.Really tight grip on bar,scaps pinched hard together and into the bench,bring the bar lower down instead of flaring,keeping my body tight and using some leg drive.This helped alot!


Cliff notes for myself-Form on the main lifts instead of tons of assistance garbage.More volume on the main lifts to actually learn them.

Remmy

Pendlays

I spent the weekend cutting out and hauling away a 18ft high evergreen hedge in front of the parents house so Im pretty tired.I was hoping for more than one set of 5 with front squats with 70kg but I'll be smart and get them sometime later in the week.

Bench went well.Really trying to drill technique. The back off set was meant to be 3x10 but I fcuked up.

Shrugs were for the yoke..gotta keep it fed..

had wanted to do 5x5 with the snatches but was using my home barbell so it was too short to using my proper grip. jm's felt good once I moved my grip in so I could tuck more. that 3x10 set I rolled it back once it got to my clavicle..felt good.

Tell me about it! I did a chin yesterday, finally (again) but I still feel like a weakling. Ah well progress is progress at this stage for me, at least we are getting stronger instead of stagnating.

exactly yeah.I look at it this way..if I can go from 2 pullups to 10 while still gaining weight thats gotta help my other lifts or at least keep things in balance.+ everyone keeps asking me (a) what I bench and (b) how many pullups I can do much to my chagrin.:o

Remmy

neck work
5kg plate on forehead off bench
60 front
40 back of head

I also spent about 5 hours today splitting logs with an axe. My hands are covered in blisters.:pac:I didn't get in many cals either.I'd imagine my bw has dropped down to 205.No biggie I'll just eat more tommorow. I'll try sneak in a upper body assistance workout also. My hamstrings and glutes are fubared from those single leg deads.Great stuff!

Remmy

Think of it as encouragement.

my lifting has gone to the dogs in the past few weeks cause my gym membership is up so I can either look for another one during the summer months or set up a home gym.Im setting up a home gym..I just need to get all the cash ready for a decent amount of plates, a barbell and some kettlebells.I'm gonna have a bash at making a power rack myself..Even someone as hamfisted as myself should be able to knock one together pretty painlessly..unless I weld my hands together.Im just messing around with bw stuff till this is done..trying to master a handstand pushup.:pac:

today did some feet elevated handstad pushups..

Like 0.15 but my feet were on twice the height of that box.

Can you hold a wall handstand too dude? If so, you can start doing shortened ROM HSPU down to some books or whatever. I found those a big help. Also, try not to do what Nicole is doing with her back, she needs to be spanked for that.
