Try widening your stance and when lifting think of bringing the hip forward instead of up. Also, i seams that your core and upper back aren’t tight enough.

I had a very fucked up day today. I woke up late, so I couldnt have any breakfast. I went on a “fieldtrip” to go to a park, which turned into a 4-mile uphill hike. Got back to school and it was time to lift.

That’s a funny ass song. Nice work, considering all the distractions around you
Thanks Whup, it was tuff.
Jonatan, I like keeping my feet closer together, I can lift more weight and sit back eaiser.

Nice work, great avatar.
I agree with Jonatan your upper back could be tighter on deadlifts.

I’m sooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry you have to train in that gym. I wanted to punch that kid who was throwing that ball around. You’re making fantastic progress despite it, though.
No comment on the actual lifting, except good job.
Thanks Mrodock, I definitly need to work on that. Now that im happy with the numbers im putting up, I will focus more on form, instead of what im lifting.
And Bignate and goochadamg, once I put the semi-loud music on it’s not as bad. The majority of the people in the video were actually my fellow shotputter’s, lol. I admnit there lazy as hell, im gonna have to yell at them. Thanks guys.
But Bignate… what do you think my username means?

Focus on some heavy rowing and bracing your upperback when pulling.
Also, in the close stance, don’t sit back too much, you don’t want your torso going horisontal, and you have nothing to sit back into raw. So… keep the torso upright.

I was suppose to squat today, but something in my groin isnt right. Doesnt seem to be pulled, but it is VERY tight, even after a good amount of stretching. Ill re-try squatting tomorrow, but if I still feel this pain, ill have to hold off till next week.
No video either, noone to film me.
seems like im missing out on the avatar cuz everyone is saying how great it is, care to explain it? sometimes im just a little slow.
bench looks good btw
If you look at the picture, then you can see its a guy standing sideways, and the girl’s ass is suppose to be his shoulders and pecs.
Maybe adding a bigger pic. might help you see.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA finally i got it, that is a good one though thanks fro the needed laughs of night

Didnt squat, warmed up and the same spot in my groin was still acheing. It wasn’t as bad as yesterday, which is good.
So today I did some core work, did alot of planks and some sit-ups. Well see about DLing on friday, might just let the groin rest fully so I can squat on tuesday.
Could do a week or two of closer stance squats. What helped me a lot was doing soft tissue work with a row of 4 tennis balls, watch your bag.

I love this picture. <3
Mrodock: I was thinking close stance box squats? The pain seems to come when im deep in the hole, and im thinking they might take away that stress. Even though Wendler sais not to do them as a main lift, its only for one or two weeks. What do you think? And I will try and watch my bag, LOL
And goochadamg, it looks much better blown up, IMHO
