Bench(in a power rack):
1x5x135
1x5x185
1x5x225
2x2x275 This felt heavy unracking it. I was very dissapointed in this. Im not sure if its because I've never benched in this power rack or if the bar was heavier or not but all sets felt heavier than normal.

DB Flat Bench:
1x5x55s
1x5x75s

Heres what I recorded.

Why seated goodmornings? Im guessing less stress on the spine? or more direct work on lower back rather hamstrings...?

I've been looking for an alternative to standing

I've been looking for an alternative to standing

id guess you can do a lot more weight seated as well esp if your setting yourself up in a rack
 
I actually was doing seated just as an alternative to standing, but I find it a lot harder seated. It could be that I just havent got used to them yet. When doing standing I can use my hips to come up but when seated its all lower back.

nice work ok you did mention first pin. yea from the video id guess the bar is like 3-4 inches higher then if it was on the ground which def makes a diff.

ive been doing these with the bar right below my knee cap it really totally destroys any leg drive i attempt to give it not sure if i really like them might lower then alittle to midshin or really low knee if i can not sure but i guess its more so back movement the way my plan is setup

nice work looks strong. saw some thinking on the last rep DONT THINK just do strong and powerfull !! hehe
 
Thanks man. I normally do rack pulls from the 2nd or 3rd pin but it just seems to easy for me. I think my problem is right after I come off the floor where I get stuck at so I think by doing them on the 1st pin it should help with that.

It's not really an RDL and definitely not an SLDL.

You should really deload the weight each rep. That is why its called a 'dead lift'. By not deloading the weight, you aren't going down low enough and its causing your back to round a bit.

here is a decent youtube vid:

There are four great articles on T-Nation for cleaning up your deadlift. Drop the weight a bit and perfect your form.

Thanks xodus. I've actuall already seen those videos but I wasnt trying to deadlift it. I just really didnt know what to call those things. I was only doing them to work on my hamstrings. I only go down as low as I need to stretch my hamstrings. I get a good pump in them. I do however deload every rep when I do my deadlifts. Look at my other vids and you'll see I deload every rep on deadlifts.

Ok, then keep your legs straighter and it will be a SLDL.

They looked almost like rack pulls without the rack.

nycste, man I really do believe that it was caused my shoulder pain cus it just didnt feel right when I did those dips. It wasnt too heavy but I guess its because I dont do dips much.

dips put a lot of strain and pressure on your shoulders that most people arent used to doing

now if we were still swinging on branches and climbing stuff dips would be normal, just be carefull always with dips

just stop doing weighted ones and try and hit 25dips bodyweight i dare you

my best is 22 23 or 25 cant remmber heh
