Did 21 pullups, I think I’m going to take a week off, and then continue pullups every day , OR I may do weighted pullups on my heavy day, and BW pullups on my medium day of training… not sure yet
You should think about powerlifting. Keep putting up bigger numbers and holding such a low weight class and you’ll do quite well for yourself. Do you have any vids of the squats?

Yea, just something to keep in the back of your mind. Good work in here. Your form is very impressive for your age.
Oh and sorry if there’s any hard feelings over teasing you for your avi. I was kinda in a shit mood that night, cuz I woke up with back spasms and it kinda fucked with my deadlift workout that night.
Aha, thank you on the form! I hurt my back real bad my first time deadlifting, couldnt walk right or sit right or do anything but lay down for a little ocer a week, ever since I’ve been trying to keep my form in check, guess I’m not doing so bad
And it’s fine, no hard feelings, and ouch, hope you’re alright man
ah yea, it’s nothing serious. It was actually from the way I slept. It’s rare that I injure myself lifting. If you’re serious about injury prevention and whatnot starting looking into some mobility work and soft tissue work. Eric Cressey has ALOT of good info on a quality warm up, or just checkout mobilitywod.com

Check out the mobility website. They have a search engine on the blog.
And do you mind sharing why you think you have a hamstring flexibility issue?

I think i do because when i go into a full squat my lower back curves, no matter how hard i try to keep it straight, it will curve , ithink it is because my hamstrings are tight, it makes sense in my head, if i lengthen the hamstrings, it wont pull on my hips @ that low part of a squat, and wont make my lower back curve, soo yeah, am i right ? :s

Lay on your back on the floor with a slight arch (so that you could put a finger or 2 between the small of your back and the floor. Now lift both your legs up to your chest (in squatting position) until your lower back starts to round under and you lose that gap. How high did you get? To your full squat depth?

Not even close to my full squat depth, my back rounded just as I passed a hips parallel to knees D:
^Ok, well this mostly rules out 2 things being the issue: lower back strength or ankle mobility…which leaves hip mobility as the primary culprit.
Bam son! I’d give that a thorough read. He specifically addresses tucking your lower back in it too. That’ll be $15 and yes, I do accept PayPal! lol

That’s more than my allowance! Lol! But thank you, it says I should switch front squats with back squats and stretch wiht a neutral spine?
Just had the most brutally shit workout…
Here’s what happened:
Squat: 120x5, 145x5, 170x5, 245x2 (wtf? I did 3 like 2 days ago…)
Bench: 75x5, 95x5, 115x5, 165x5 (I asked some random to spot me, I think he may have helped me cause it wasn’t all that hard…)
PowerClean: 45x3, 65x3, 85x3, 105x3, 145x3
it was just a crap workout… after the squats I just felt like shit… the random who spotted me doesn’t know how to spot, and I could feel my powerclean form kinda sucked… I skipped the pullups at the end cause I felt like crap…
