Do your bicep curls with dumbbells
Start with your weaker arm.
Match output (X reps at Y weight) with stronger arm
Weaker one will gain, larger one will atrophy, and they'll meet in the middle.
You can stop focusing on something no one will ever ever notice

My OHP is stuck on 110 lbs atm. I'm doing stronglifts. I can maintain the progress for the other lifts but the OHP is the only thing I really have trouble with. Other numbers: bench (135), squat (175), deadlift (220), row (95); weight (185).

Perfectly normal I'm afraid, OHP is known to be a bastard. Common remedies include increased or decreased frequency, volume, and/or intensity, microloading, resetting, just keeping at it, and complaining on the internet.

Sunday I hit a bench pr of 270 at 163 lbs body weight. Having an actual plan and eating right works! I could have easily gotten 275 or 280 but I got psyched out at the thought of doing a 10 lb jump

We only 2 1.25 kg plates in the gym, and people keep losing/misplacing them so I have to spend 5 minutes looking for them every time I need them! :argh:

Not a big issue, I'm just going to buy some myself but I hate it when people don't put stuff back!

I've been doing crossfit for a few months. Been losing weight and getting in shape, but they're super big on lifting heavy quickly. Is there any advantage to doing stuff like deadlifts and cleans quickly compared to just doing them regularly? Cause I find my form falls apart when I'm racing the clock.

Mechanics -> Consistency -> Intensity

If your form starts to fall apart, either deload or slow down.

if your coach is one of those bros that just wants you to go faster, tell him to go gently caress himself.

calling youtube crossfit videos "coach" is real weird

I have never seen a crossfit trainer that is not also a prolific youtube uploader

Well there's a couple reasons for this. Obviously if you're a trainer you need to look the part, and being alpha work out person certainly attracts a certain breed of person.

Not like the struggling actors that just don't want to wait tables, or the guy that shows off to strangers on a message board.

Slightly related, what's with guys who get halfway into a rep an then just wiggle back and forth/MICROREPS

i mean i guess uts better than not going to the gym at all, just weird to see a guy bench press about an inch up and down
