Nice work broseph. You carry that bar pretty high. Ever tried a lower bar position?[/quote]
I never really gave it much thought do you think it would help my horrible squatting?
Is low bar more a PL style?

Fuck. Man, fuck this. I have serious envy when it comes to others’ ability to pull themselves up to a bar. Someday I won’t be as sucky as I am now. [/quote]
Ill tell you what dude, Ill give you some of my chin strength if you could give me some of your monstrous squatting strength! Deal?

Thanks Kev, yeah dude some critiqueing of my squat would be cool…get home safe
YES to above question
- Slightly tighter hand placing- go false grip- just trust me on this one.
- Turn your hat around- I know that sounds stupid but the bill keeps you from driving your back of head “into” the bar.
- Get tighter before the descent
- Take a deep breath – make a big chest and push your belly into the bar - then sit back and squat.
- Lower bar position will help alot with these technique hurdles your having.
Reason the tighter/false grip is to keep you from diving forward - which you almost did by keeping your chest up and elbows down.
Enough cues for now – this make sense?

This is Golden! Printed out and next squat day I will bring it along and hang it on the rack! Seriously appreciate it!
I do want to have my chest big and up as well the elbows down right?

Gotta keep the faux-hawk tight, brah. Don’t hate.
Looking huge, Matty. Nice!!
And your box is low there, buddy. You’re making me look like bad. I can see why the low-bar style might be beneficial. I wonder if I should change my bar placement too…hm…
Strong work in here! Good stuff.
Now go squat big, say 455, for reps.
No problem Matty.
Please take video from side view. Nuch easier to help with technique critique.
Also ON DE DAYS it is not the weight but FORM & SPEED you want. Weight will come up with the ME work. Let me repeat the DE days are for perfecting your technique. It is like practice and the ME work is like the Meet - make sense?
Elbows down/chest up thats how I like to squat! ( doesn’t rhyme like the other phrase…)
Dude, your log might get more action than Greg’s. Strong #'s in here broham.
Elite has a youtube series “so you think you can squat” I believe it will really help you.
first of all… DAYUM!!! You’re lookin hyooooooooge!
Secondly… what the shit was that asian guy up to? He was standing 1 foot away from you while you were doing those chins and I’m pretty sure he was staring at your junk the whole time. lol wut!?! hahaha
Git - PR time sounds great to me…
Masch - Im still trying to recover from Friday lol…I think once every 3-4 months is all could do nowadays. I have been keeping my box (lol) low because Im terrified of not hitting depth at the meet, hoping it has a carryover effect. Box squats FTW!
Joe - your fucking nuts, I cant squat like you.
Flash - Lol thanks, I appreciate everyone stopping by.
Rob - I have watched it before but I was thinking I should watch it again…I mean I better watch it again!
Greg - I forgot to mention the gaping hole in my shorts and lack O underwear I was wearing yesterday…maybe thats why he was making those faces.

Definitley thanks…I have been upping the weight to %70 on DE days as Im lifting raw, is this OK? I will take vids from the side from now on, thanks man.
I think you may have the next big title of a hip hop song there my man…
No training today folks…gonna do some band stuff and take the dogs on a fucking marathon walk…weather is beautiful in NYC today…
If I was building your program I would rotate between 55-60-65 then start next wave same %. As the weight will slowly go up based off of your previous max.
The Westside-Conjugate system is hard to get a handle on without a team with you right?
Yeah it is, truth be told except for my friends in Jersey most of my friends only lift a beer mug. I have one guy who I am friendly with at the gym who helps me and is a legitimately strong guy but he basically follows a 5x5 routine. But overall I love this way of training it allows for variety and the biggest plus is it has allowed my form to get practice and my numbers are going up…
ME UPPER
FLOOR PRESS - 275/3 315/3 320/1 330/fail
CGBP - 135/10 185/10 225/10 275/5 285/3 225/10
INCLINE DB PRESS - 100/12,10 125/5,3
DECLINE SITUPS - 3X12
OTHER STUFF:
WG PULLUPS - 8,6,5,5,5 (29)
FACEPULL - 95/15,20
Question: On the floor press, where should I set up the pins? Should I set them so I am not pressing the bar out of the pins or do I want to press out of the pins? Overall a little dissapointed in performance, I dont think it was so much a strength issue more of a technique issue as I was playing around with the pins and positioning too much…

Nice work. Not quite sure I understand your question on the pins. With floor press there should be no pins.
