Your box squat is at parallel. Certainly not breaking parallel, though. Depends on your goals. I can’t remember if you compete and, if so, what fed. I don’t do stiff legged deads, really, so I can’t comment on those. I do RDLs, however, but with tighter form.
Love your kiddo’s voice on the squat vid!
So sorry to hear about your shoulder! I can fully relate. Did you injure it doing something specific? Or just a troublesome pain?
the pain started from milies, I am sure that it can be worked out in the end…
I was really hoping that the box would put me just below parrell I plan on lifting in N.A.S.A and dont want to waste energy going ass to grass if I dont need to my I want to make sure that I am getting below also…
not a huge deal worse case scenario I cut another inch off of it
I forgot you’re competing in NASA. I think that’s a pretty lenient fed depth-wise, so those box squats might be just fine.
Overheading pressing can be the devil when it comes to shoulder pain. Trust me on this one.
well after the 3rd time of decline weighted sit ups rubbing me raw I went and got an abwheel and some ab straps… I am sure that they will replace the sit ups just fine.

I agree with Snap. Depth looks parallel. That’s a nice box you have there. I inherited a couple and they’re lovely to pull from.
Snap, can you tell me the difference between stiff leg and RDL? I could never quite grasp what it was. I’m a bit on the slow side of life.
The difference? Maybe there’s not one? I don’t take the weights to the floor on RDLs. To be honest, I’m not really sure but thought they were different somehow. Help someone?

I believe I read somewhere that the RDL was named for a Romanian weightlifter who was essentially doing deadlifts w/o taking the weights to the floor.
AFAIK, there is no knee bend when doing the SLDL (although I don’t believe it’s wise to actually lock out the knee joint), you do take the weight to the floor, and form -the arched back- is super important.

That takes some serious flexibility. The arched back is paramount.
Where’s your log, Punnyguy?

I say yours you have more room then we do.
ok sounds good my house around 2 or 3 then…
Ill call today so we can iron out the details.
well I watched Dave Tate’s 7 part series on how to bench and decided to have my biddy come over and practice competion bench with commands… I worked up to a max and maxed 250 full competion bench thats a true p/r and it was with a big pause at the bottom. I just have to work on holding at the end and not immediatly racking.
competion bench press max 250 P/R
Bent over rows 3 x 8/10 160 10,10,10
triceps pushdowns 3 x 8/ 10 60 10,10,10
weighted rack chins 3x5 60 5,5,5,5,5
Great job on the PR. Yeah, don’t prematurately make a move to rack at a meet. It sucks to get red-lighted for missing a command.
