Wow your squat will be SEVERELY limited with you having to pwr clean, then press the weight behind your neck…but to add to Quick Ben list of things to do when you squat…
In order to squat deeper&have better hamstring/glute activation you need to start from a completely straight/locked out position and bend/break at the hips first before your knees even bend. If you look at :25 seconds of your video your knees bend FIRST. It is a very slight difference but it MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE! Think about being a girl in a rap video…pop that booty back then drop it to the floor…You may need to practice it and video it (maybe right side up?)so we can see…good luck!
Also, was able to convince the manager at a super nice LA Fitness to give me a KILLER deal. 150 start up and 25 a month, where their cheapest memberships are supposed to be 50 a month! I’ll be joining in a few weeks, then I can lift more among other things (staring at hot women while lifting)
The last few days have been hectic…started a new job friday. It requires I work 5am-6pm fri-sun. This is why I could not workout friday. I was very pissed but that’s life
My work schedule has messed with my lifting schedule a bit, that’s the reason for the missed days. But this past saturday I joined the gym like I said I would. Today I went in for one of those free assessments. I had no intention of buying a PT, but I wanted to see where I was at.
I found out that I was actually at 11% body fat which was a huge surprise since I’ve been eating so much lately and the diet wasn’t completely clean. But whatever. He had me do this workout
Treadmill 6.0 for 10 mins
Curls
Dips
Skullcrushers
I wasn’t able to record the exact stats on these lifts but I did quite a bit and my arms were dead afterwards. I’ll probably have to go from mon-wed-fri to mon-tues-wed-thurs
Went to the gym yesterday and did quite a few workouts. I was like a kid in a candystore because I was finally able to figure out where my maxes are. I still have to figure out my maxes on a few things though
One of the toughest things is diet. I’m hovering around 165. It’s tough to keep putting on weight and my work schedule makes my lifting days different.
Ok. Today I weighed in at 168. I’ve been steadily increasing my deads and squats, but everything else is staying the same. To I’ve an idea of what my body looks like, here are a few pics. One is of me flexing, the other is just me standing completely still. I’m not seeing the meat go on my arms as I would like it to, I am seeing it go to my stomach much easier.
