Ha. Thanks!
The pizza was really good. Becoming my Sunday favorite. I really need to get my diet in check though.
When I walked in the gym I was thinking 315x7-8. I think I would've failed 5 though.

Finaflex always seems to do a great job! Flavors are always on point too!!...Pizza before squats eh? I would've decorated the mirror doing squats! Lol Killer leg workout Thomas! Very strong!! Oh, I love the guy in the first video too getting caught watching in jealousy as he only had 155 on the bar! Well done!

I wanted to tell the dude that he was doing a good job. I could tell he was relatively new to lifting, 155 his max squat and 95 his max OHP today, but he was hitting parallel+. He looked young, and if he keeps this up he'll be 5 plating it by the time he's my age I'm sure.
Thanks Kat!

Squats were pretty high, buddy. Might have to lighten the load a little and practice hitting depth.

As liftandswim mentioned, I'd try to work at least through parallel - for powerlifting, it's necessary. For bodybuilding, more muscle is engaged the deeper you go, especially quads, and you have to use less weight, sparing your body unnecessary abuse/wear.
Also, the knees get pretty much to the toes - and we certainly don't want to exceed that. Try sitting back into your squat more. This does NOT mean a slower decent. Think about doing a seated leg curl as you drive the knees outward to sit back into the squat. Trust me, you will NOT fall. The weight will keep you on you on your feet solid.

He shouldn't really worry too much about where his knees are as long as they're tracking over his feet. Too, after a little scooch of the hips back, for a raw squat, you should be thinking down down down. Everything else I agree with. Just my 2 cents, no hate
RegisterJr
Legend
I don't typically have a problem with depth at this amount of weight. I don't know what I was scared of.
Thanks for the tips guys, as always. I'll video again next week and try to get more angles in to see what else I need to work on.

Off day today because I did chest Saturday.
Regular now for three straight days, with a second yesterday afternoon.
No DOMs from yesterday's leg sesh. I'm a little surprised. The hams should be sore at least...
I'm thinking I'll do another squat only (and cardio) day on Thursday if my leg feel up to it, and I won't pre-fatigue my hammie's.

Very interesting lift session with the bands. Surprised at the pec dips. I thought you dropped them?
RegisterJr
Legend
I dropped them because our only fixed dip machine doesn't hit them the way he describes that it should. On these, with the exception of that one set that the cables weren't available, they were normal chest dip partials out of the bottom. Flared out elbows, chin tucked, etc.
However, that one set of Pec Minor Dips did hit the chest good, but I think it's because of the superset.

I was sweating my butt off too. I did a double take just to make sure that they weren't destroyers. Wore me out.

All I meant on the squat advice is you never want the knees to go past your toes on a lowbar squat. If it's highbar and you're setting hams on calves with a close stance some may be unavoidable. But knees over toes gets to be a ton of sheer loading on the knees, and the hips can withstand WAY more abuse than the knees.
Last night at the gym this bodybuilder had me hold his ankles so his legs were out from under him at a 45* angle while he dipped - said he really felt it on the inside of his chest. Looked fun, but I'm on a full deload before this weekend and just practicing my lifts so I didn't get to try them.

I'll keep working at it. I was hoping to do squats again tomorrow, but my hamstrings are more sore now than they've been in a long time. May just do some quad isolated work.

I just air lifted those one arm rows inside and outside the legs. Outside felt like it would hit the bicep more than lats. Looking up kayak rows. Are back on the ABCDE diet? Cleanup phase?
RegisterJr
Legend
I'll have to video those rows. Lol
Outside my leg is pretty much a straight up and down movement for me. The stance is awkward preventing the weight I can get on meadows'. Inside the leg, I kinda have to pull the bar in, like a 2" curl, to e able to get it all the way up into a squeeze.
I don't know what diet I'm on... My goal for a while was maintenance -500, but I kept over-eating. I figured that by lowering it if be less likely to go over...

Awkward at first, but ended up getting a great pump. I probably will still play around with grip width.
It was an accident. I had a church function Monday night and didn't properly plan ahead. Yesterday I don't really know what happened. I checked my cals before bed and was just low.
