Alright man. Just made you a video. Hope it helps.

I watched the video, and it’s probably worth mentioning that your hand position can be much wider than what I’m doing in the video. My hand is right by my head there, and that shouldn’t be the case. You can play around with what works best for you, but when I have the bar racked, I want to have my hands spaced so that they’re like right over my delts. You can go slightly wider or more narrow. See what helps you press most comfortably and with the most weight.

Cool- thanks
I can’t watch video because weird school blocking settings, will watch it when I get home

Great video…silly hat. Really?

I live in Dallas. I grew up here. Problem?

Maybe :joy: Just never took you for a cowgirl fan…

Steel nation!!!

2/16/18 Saturday training

Cold, sick, and fucking miserable
Squats- 135x5
Curls- 20 reps
Got called inside

*Edit- I don’t think my shoulders like back squats. weird throbbing sensation after doing them- maybe it has something to do with the fact that I squat out of a bench.
And couldn’t tell if throbbing=pain because high(ish) pain tolerance, and the fact that something was in pain (nagging) the whole workout

Damn. get well soon

Thanks

back squats aren’t comfortable for most people. They can take a toll on shoulders, wrists, and elbows pretty easily. You can adjust your hand width, probably take a wider grip, to help with the issue.

What is the pain like? You said throbbing. Does it feel more like muscle soreness, or like an acute injury? Do you know how to tell the difference?

That being said, if the pain goes away after your session, you don’t feel it later in the day or the next day, I would just deal with it. Weightlifting hurts, lol.

orrrrrr you could just do front squats. If you’re not competing in powerlifting, back squats aren’t necessary for leg development. For myself, because I have access to a lot of specialty equipment, I’ve been doing a lot of training with the Safety Squat Bar, precisely because I don’t appreciate the toll back squatting takes on my elbows. I don’t plan on competing in powerlifting anytime soon, so I don’t HAVE to back squat.

The throbbing doesn’t feel like an acute injury, but also doesn’t feel like soreness
In hindsight, it probably appeared because I had the flu (didn’t realize it at the time)
Edit- I may have pneumonia :confused:
