It cant hurt watching some videos, from what ive seen you dont need any critiqing. Make sure you film you next attempt at a bench PR.

my friend is going for his first 200 lb bench on monday and ill try to hit like 175-185 paused with bands and can get that on film. Ive been sick for the past almost week and im just starting to get better so my first training session will probably be that one, the 5 days off may do me some good.

Nice PR man. Have you ever tried pin front squats? They rape me pretty bad.

Thanks, i have tried pin squats a couple of times and i cant get into position right for them ever, even when i do gm’s to pins i always start with it racked and not actually on the pins otherwise i cant get in the right motion.
