ALEXUS!! Well I’m sorry you had a set back, but its always there to go back too. Hit up Harry! He’ll help you out!
Here’s just a link to my pull ups then. embeding is always hit or miss for me :{
was popping to see what’s up and you were !!! that was so awesome Brute dancing and she’s got rhythm.
like the 2nd setup on the bench squats…you have to keep tight on the box, blow that belly out, squeeze that back together, keep hips tight until you sit on the bench, then only release the hips slightly, keep that back TIGHT. flare those knees out and power out.
It’s hard the first few times sometimes you’re still “searching” for the bench.
If you get “loose” on the first rep, take a second and get tight at the top again before the next rep.
I watched your bench squats. I have nothing of substance to add since I suck at them but you have awesome legs.
POWER!!! Thank you for checking my vid!! iiiirrr!! I gotta keep my back tight. Looking at the vid again I can see what they mean by keeping an arch in ALL lifts. Also, for the first time I can get the concept of pushing against a belt for squats and deads.
I think of you and your profile picture every time i get under the bar now to try and align, you have great placement of your elbows form what I can tell and have learned elbows kinda direct you motion?
O~! thanks! You don’t ever box squat? How did you conquer your lean/gm on squats, or was it not a big issue?

stepmill 18 mins
Might do some mp’s today a my apartment. My twin is supposed to come pick up my oly bar and plates to borrow to learn how to lift at home. I have her starting with bb complexes. we shall see! I gotta show her how to do everything still…and I will show her the right way. Jerk gets to learn from my mistakes…She’s not a jerk she’s awesome but word! 
I have done box squats but they don’t feel right or helpful to me. I guess different things work well for different people.
I still lean on heavy weights but the good morning thing was rectified quite a bit by really forcing my elbows forward, keeping my chest high. In addition, I’ve been hitting a lot of core stuff lately and that’s helped immensely.
So the elbow thing really does work? Hearing you say that gives me a lot of hope. 
eyes forward and slightly up, chest up, elbows down and help push the bar up
if elbows are back or chicken winged, on a heavy weight you will go forward
I’VE BEEN CHICKEN WINGING FOR YEARS!!! argh!
Making sense!
YEP elbows forward helped me a lot too! Might feel kinda uncomfortable at first…
I wish there was a box squat counterpart for the deadlift that can teach you proper form. 
DAMN!
girl’s got MOVES!
And x whatever on the elbow tucking. Whenever I get stuck on a squat this guy at my gym bellows “ELBOWS” at me and I miraculously come up.
oh WORD EDGY. I’ll dance anytime!!
On that note I have been relegated to a week of chin ups next week vs further pull up progress. I myself thought it was a huge feat to go from 10 sets of 4 to 10 sets of 5 for my assignment.
But I trust my pull up guru. And I was tired as shit tuesday when I gave it a ago. I’m still proud even though I fell short
SPOCK–oh you know what? I just bet there’s something for deadsos that’s similar and we’ll hear about it in 4 years. It will probably be easy as well.
The most frustrating part for me is that I want to go and fix things right away and having to wait to recover a bit is lame. I get all hyped up then realize oh well shit my body’s limiting me! It needs stuff like rest and whatever. Food. Time twiddling my thumbs.
Lula!! Well good! It sounds like I can at least focus on one thing at a time. sweet!

yeah, i got a similar thing from 10 sets of 2 to 10 sets of 3. i think the idea was to assess how many sets of 3 i could manage… didn’t get all 10 of them - but got a whole heap more than i thought i could!
nice pulling girl!!
you still around then??
