High. Camera angle should also be lower and inline with your hips to see better.
I fucking dare you to squat with a thong over singletā¦
LOL, if I get a garage gym goin on Ill at least go banana hammock on my squats! I agree rick definitely high possibly another 4 - 6 inches.

Matty- How did you like the Reverse Grip OHP- based on the high reps they must have gone pretty well.
Dave I definitely liked them seems like they give my shoulders a break the same way reverse grip bench does.
Well it seems as if my body is failing me at the worst possible timeā¦
While playing softball earlier this morning I pegged a throw to attempt to catch a runner at third, as I threw it ( I was catching) I threw across my body and as I did I felt a pop in my obliqueā¦this isnāt good, Iām sneezing a lot because of allergies and I see stars when this happenedā¦
I couldnāt swing a bat so I went home, stopped by the gym to see what discomfort I can come to expect while pressingā¦
With OH press I was fine, did 225 for a couple of triples, and benched 315 for a double and it didnāt hurt. However Chins hurt like hell, any type of row was uncomfortable as well, getting up from the bench was a real chore as any flexing of the abs in horizontal and stretched position seems to aggravate my latest ache and pain.
While I did hear a pop, I donāt think I would be able to press or breathe as well as I am if it were torn or brokenā¦so I iced it and took a few NSAIDs and hope for recovery for Tuesdayā¦
This is what happens when I donāt warm up for even the most pedestrian of sports such as softballā¦
Iām playing in a 50 and over leauge. We are half way through the season and the teams are all beat to hell.
Pulled hammies, bad ribs, shoulders and calf injuries. You are almost embarassed to tell someone you got
hurt playing softball, but these guys play hard, and most arenāt in the shape you are in.
Matty!! Whatās up big man? Hope your back in action soon. Your meet is in a couple of weeks right?
Grey - Yeah man, we actually played an older team yesterday and we split with em. One guy had to be hovering at about 50-55 years and still ran like a gazelle, they played hard and could really hit.
Austin - yeah bud, June 3 and of course aches and pains, but no fucking excuses!
Ok so my abs are sore, but no bruising and no extreme pain, certain movements are giving me painā¦but I am hopeful this is just a minor setback
Was home today but had the itch to lift something so I dusted off the KBās you know the ones I said I will use every week and sprintā¦YEAH well anyway its been about a month since I used these but this came in handy. Id like to say I will use these more often, but honestly Id rather be in the gym lifting barbells, so I will say I will use these a little more often lol.
All movements using KBs are 40lbs since thats all my adjustables go up to
Band pullaparts thumbs in thumbs out 4x15
KB Towel Curl - 4x15
KB UR Row - 4x20
KB Floor Press - 4x20 (single arm)
KB Pullovers - 4x20
KB Floor Tri ext - 4x10 (single arm)
KB Swings - 3x10
KB Rows - 3x20
KB Leaning lat raise - 2x12
Took about 35 minutes and I was able to scratch the itchā¦
Hope the ab issue passes quickly or at least stays out of the way.

adjustable Kbs? fancy pants, aye? well excuuuuuuuse me!
Thanks Strickā¦just a little bump in the roadā¦
Oh hell yeas Lula, im all about the fancyā¦I gots me a soloflex and a thighmaster and a gazelle all the top notch equipmentzzz
Last week of Paul Carters Strong 15ā¦after this week I will be just greasing the groove, possibly openers next week but thats about it.
SQUAT - 135/5 205/5 235/4 275/3 305/3 325/2 355/1 380/fail 380/1 325/3
CGBP - 135/15 185/12 225/10 245/10 275/5
A1)TBARS - 2PLT/20 3PLT/15 4PLT/10
A2)CHINS - 0/10 25/5 45/5
Squats felt ok, abs held up well until the 380 where I felt a pull in the middle of the ascent got nervous and dumped it. Decided not to be a load rag and did it again and it was slightly uncomfortable but all in all ok.
Im realizing that different grips when doing rows lessen the pain of the tendinitis. I did a close pronated grips on the tbars and I felt no pain, I know most people say old school tbars are better, however I dont see why espescially when I can get better ROM with the ānew schoolā tbars
Nice work, Matty! Glad to hear that the abs werenāt too much of an issue.
Thanks Strick, yeah not too badā¦Im trying not to give it too much thought as I can be a bit of a hypocondriac

I agree whichever way you can do the rows without pain is the right way to go. Glad to hear the ab problem is under control.
