I’m also still taking Tribulus and haven’t sprouted a cock yet which is nice because my pants wouldn’t fit. However I’ve noticed that my skin has gotten very nice. It’s pink and glowing like I’m on perma ovulation.
Careful. I’ve heard stories where people have sprouted one on their nose… and it always happens right before a big date… or the prom.

The only time I’ve had one near my nose it’s been… wait nevermind.
Friday May 1, GL Burlington
Warm up 15 minutes elliptical and mobility. I threw in the wall things pressing my chin into my neck as well as shoulder dislocations.
I’ll just start this off with the fact that right now, my hips think I’m a complete and total cunt.
Squat
1x10x45
1x5x95
1x5x135
(4x2)x 5 - 10 seconds - Total 40 reps at 165
1x10x135
With the working sets there was more than 10 seconds between the doubles. I timed it so there was about 7-8 seconds from the time I racked the bar until the time I got under it again. However, by the time I set up and ran through my mental check list, it was quite a bit longer than 10 seconds. Most reps were good but I have a lot of work. As I got more fatigued, I could feel my neck extending out instead of tucking back in. There was a bit of knee caving near the end as well and I was forgetting to drive my elbows. By tucking my chin in I could feel my chest push out and my back kind of grab the bar more. I don’t know if that makes sense. A little while ago I couldn’t have done that volume at that weight so I’m pleased with that.
But, like mentioned above, my hips feel like I’ve been ridden hard an put away wet.
I’ll be doing the same Sunday morning.
Anywho…
B1 Speed bench
(4x2)x 5 - 10 seconds - 65lbs
B2(4x2)x 5 - 10 seconds - medium grip pull ups
C1 DB Bench Press
3x8x30
C2 Head supported DB rows
3x8x30
D1 Cable backhand
1x12x15/side
2x12x20/side
D2 Zottman curls
1x10x10
1x10x12.5
1x10x17.5
I had no idea what weights I should use on the last two since I’d never done them before.
I almost forgot. I was able to use my elbows against my legs as depth indicators but that will take a lot more practice as well.
Also, my face was glowing tonight but more in a stroke victim kind of way.
It sounds like your scapular are retracting
and helping form a base for the bar…
nice work on the 165 woo!

ps where are the shorts videos?

Sorry I have no booty shorts squat video tonight. This is a picture of my back after squatting. Can you see where the bar has been sitting?
Should I work on getting it lower?
I think I was ‘approached’ by a guy at the gym tonight.
Now he didn’t offer to lick anything inappropriate but still. Unfortunately it was while I was squatting so I may have told him to fuck off. He was futzing around in the rack next to me and said “Hey there, heavy squatting tonight?” Now I’m not sure if I actually said fuck off or just thought it. Regardless I think I gave him a look because he did, in fact, fuck off.
Too bad he didn’t wander by during zottman curls.

You need to walk in front of dudes at stores to get inappropriate lick offers.

Looks perfect. The placement of the bar looks good too.

You’re mean. What I meant was if he’d chosen any other time to chat, I would have been receptive. Squatting last night = vomitous = not open to advances.

You know - you aren’t the first to make that observation about me.
Nice job on the squats! And I wouldn’t worry so much about the 10s between sets, I’d say the set up routine is more important.
How does the lower bar placement feel?
As for the elbows touching the knees, my only concern is you should have someone check that that is your depth since it could be different for different people and make sure elbow/knee contact won’t get you redlighted (I don’t know what the CPU rule is).

I checked myself in the mirror. It looks good for depth. Good point about red lights on the contact. I’ll have to check. If you didn’t get red lighted for resting your hamstrings on your calves then I can’t see the problem 
It’s more of a brush against them.
In USAPL, incidental contact of the knees and elbows is okay, but a red light if it assists the lift.

Ouch! Hopefully I’ll fix that problem with my wider stance.

I always hit my legs with my elbows and made sure this was not an issue, like PMPM said, as long as it does not assist the lift. I checked 'cause I get called on everything it seems LOL

I can see from your avatar that your elbows are far down and forward. I’d noticed it before but always figured it was idiosyncratic like your fucked up thumbless grip.
