Yes that is me, Thank you 
It still bothers me I couldn’t get those 5 lbs to at least make 700 on my first time out 
Wanted to say CONGRATS on the first meet, and very successful I must say, a beginning of things to come. The vid was great, hope the nagging aches and pains stay to a minimum for you.

I need to add some weight to that DL 
I am begining to wonder if I am not engaging my posterior chain correctly during my deadlift. I am wondering if as I get the weight heavier if I am totally forcing it up with my back… I can’t tell 
Time for video!! Do you think of pushing the floor away?
270, dude, that is an awesome DL!
I am also impressed with your good mornings. Mine are a work in progress…

I decided to start my 5,3,1 cycle today so even though I deadlifted on Friday I started with DL this week so I could get some videos and so I would have a whole week till I squatted.
I did get videos of most of my squats though I have to say my knee isn’t feeling horrible right at the moment. My DLs felt really heavy today
Videos to come.

1x5x180
1x5x205

Joe said this lift look off in every way
What are the problems with your knees? What felt ‘wrong’ about the lifts?
Thats not what I said. I said you looked a little wobbly on the single.

My pateller tendon on my left knee is inflammed. It either has to do with my squat or deadlift. I am betting on my deadlift as it tends to hurt more with that as I increase the weight. Though I do the lifts so close together it is hard to say. I think it has to do with my foot and knee alignment during my lifts. That is why I took these videos in the way that I did so I could check my positioning.
The lifts didn’t feel wrong though I was told that my last lift just looked off, uneven. I will admitt that I was stand-offish about the lift as I am getting really tired of being in pain and I know the heavier I go the more pain I feel.
I would be the problem is your deadlift. I get knee pain pulling sumo. It’s alot of stress and pressure on your knees because you push out with your feet.
Whoa, fast moving logs move fast. I was almost on the 2nd page already

Idk what to call this, I ahve a barbell in a corner and a weight on one end, I hold it in my hand with my elbow bent and my hand by my shoulder and I push up from there at a slight angle. It’s all my shoulders will let me do. I started with a 25lb weight and moved down to a 10 lb weight as the 25 was starting to bother the shoulder.
Face Pulls 2x10x30, 1x10x35
I am freakin weak, time off does not improve me
