Do they have a big heel? Can take a bit of getting used to.

Saying that though my first session in powerlifts put 10kg on my front squat.

Compared to any other shoe I've worn, yes. But it doesn't feel too crazy. All the customer reviews I read before I ordered them recommended ordering a size down from what you would normally wear, and I can say that was good advice. I wear a size 12 with most shoes, and got these in 11.5. Very snug fit, but not too snug that my toes are squished together or anything like that. I pull sumo so I feel like these are going to be awesome for that.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

How wide is your grip when you ohp? I can lift way more if I go narrow but then I mainly feel it in my triceps instead of my shoulders. Should I widen it out?

By narrow I mean about an inch or 1.5 further in on either hand than my bench grip.

Prob 3 fingers stick out past my shoulders, I don't like going wide on either ohp or bench.

I've always heard not to go too wide. I'm just worried I'm not working my shoulders enough with a narrower grip.

A 67 year old man deadlifting 285 is great. Most guys have a pile of matchsticks for knees at that age.

Keeping your shoulders back and pinched down and then grip the bar to where your forearms are pointing straight up is probably your strongest position and is where I would press from imo

I'm more interested in strengthening shoulders than lifting the most I can. I've heard conflicting reports about keeping shoulders pinched and rolling them at the end of the lift.

Here is a really dark video. I think I keep my forearms about parallel and sticking straight up. My hands are about an inch to 1.5 inches from the end of the hashes on the bar. I find that I mainly feel it in my triceps here. I can widen it out a bit and feel it more in my shoulders but I also lift less.

Seems like all the resolution people at my gym started a little before new years. There's been 2 groups of young guys doing dumb poo poo.. One of them were all hanging from the pull up bar taking turns punching each others stomachs, instead of doing any kind of core exercise.

Other group was gathered around the biggest dude who had them record his hex bar deadlifts of a whopping 185 pounds with terrible form.

it's going to snow in alabama tomorrow. up to 3 inches, which isn't poo poo but alabama drivers are so retarded they lock everyone else down too. So I got a 30 pack of beer and some buffalo chicken nuggets for the weekend. my gainnnss


e: been playing with my tape measure some. Apparently my femurs are a little on the short side even though I'm 6'1. 17.5 inches. No wonder I never liked wide stance squats. I always put my heels almost right at shoulder width with toes pointing maybe 15 degrees if I'm going for what feels best. Hopefully this switch to high bar will work out better for me. I always tried to set up my squats starting strength style for the most part before I just started doing it the way that felt best. If I put my heels out wider than shoulder width and squat low bar, I'd always butt wink right at parallel. I thought my flexibility just sucked but recently found out I can go a good bit lower with a neutral spine if I squat shoulder width/high bar.

Took a decent poo poo this morning, then as I was changing in the locker room I let out the longest fart I've ever heard.

Then I blasted my legs and core, loading and racking weights with my left arm. A good day.

Legs today. 495x2 squat then dropped down to 315x8x3. There was a girl very impatiently waiting on the rack while I was squating, it looked like she really wanted to ask me how much longer I had left but she didnt want to risk trying to speak English so she just kind of did some empty barbell squats next to me passive aggressively to signal intent. She seemed very relieved when I finished like she she just outsmarted all her high school English teachers by moving the foreigner without having to open her mouth. Small wins I suppose.

Finished up with 135 walking lunges, 275 glute extensions (cut a loud fart on my last set but everyone was kind enough to not scowl at me), leg press, leg ext, and a half rear end attempt at some ab work.
