EDIT But Yea, I need to focus on keeping the elbows under the bar, a better que for me then tucking elbows.

Hey Up, yes you nailed it. That que of keeping elbows under the bar and forearms perpendicular to the floor dials you right back in. And really nice work overall…man when i look back at when we started workouts and the weights that were a struggle its staggering how much stronger you have got, and how your body has changed! The journey has been so much fun to be part of! Awesome work!
Thanks G! Well… when your weak theres only one place to go…haha
The true test will be keeping it going! Although I only have an upper goal, the lower half is more vanity. Shhh
Bummed no 30# DBs on CL. I may place an add saying Im looking for them. Need a weight tree still too. Thinking the new house I can actually poke holes in walls to hang stuff.
Very nice and controlled on those DB presses. I’m working toward that kind of control . . . at much lower weight.

Hey You, I was just heading into your log to see what you are up to…
That was the third set, I was “trying” to have some power, not sure that it showed.

Looks like your first reps are tight. Maybe tuck your elbows a bit. Would you try doing triples at that weight you might a few more in do 5 sets of 3 then move to 6 etc.
Just a suggestion. Nice thing about free advice is the price.
Good luck.[/quote]
On Your Bench, I agree first thing I thought was “Tuck them elbows girl!” lol

…Ill try, it just doesnt feel “natural”. But thanks for noticing guys.
Tuck elbows, sueeze the bar and did you ever try to squeeze the bench with your legs? It helps a lot with stability for smaller stature people. Actually hell i squeeze the bench with my legs as well.
Good job in here.
Hows the Kbell quest coming along?
BTW classes are on Tuesdays @ 7pm and Saturdays @ 9am your always wecome.

I always vid from an angle to make sure im under the bar and switch to side when it gets heavier, ill keep it at other angle and adjust from what I see. Being more narrow, ill probably bench wider than you big dudes.
havent seen any Kbs on CL and need to get to gym to take the class. Ill just watch you kick KBgals ass from a distance for now hahaha
EDIT (leg squeeze) umm no I like to drive my legs and keep them firm, works for me. My bench is still going up, so Im not that concerned. I try not to tweak too many things at one time.

haha…yeah, he does try to kill me and and everyone else in class - but we always leave standing!! (Ok, sometimes it’s barely standing, but it still counts.)
Great work as always…takes a bit of time but you’ll get the tucked elbow down soon enough.

Hey Hara
TRAINING TODAY
stretch whole body, mob work everywhere. Since stretching and gets the hips loose again, my abs have been so sore, like they woke up too.
goblet squat
4x5 20/25 really trying to get hips/sh coming up together. good stretch.
FS
45/5
55/5
75 4x5 felt so good, trying to learn little breaths to stay tight past rep 3, lol but had good control, no bounce in hole.
Deads last week above knee, moving to below knee, even though i think im ready for floor, but better safe than sorry.
95/5
115/5
135 3x5
BSS
25s db 3x8
These are a challenge, Im wobbly on first set, took a sec rest between legs on second set, and third set was good. Could work on tightness, but im just hoping to get through it.

Print has gone underground for the time being - busy with work, and a little upset about a few things going on with the website - I expect him to be back in action in a month or two - once he washes the sand out of his panties~

maybe if he keeps it in there long enough he’ll pop out a pearl?
