"But how much can you bench?" should be the new "But how much did you lose?" I'm sure your power, explosiveness, and GPP more than make up for whatever deficiency you may see with your bench.

Re: SmileyEH\'s Log
Worked out around 8pm today. Was good to get an extra 6 hours or so rest, and tomorrow is a rest day so it works out well.
2min bike 10 dips 8 pullups 15 back extensions, incline situps Barbell Bench 10x45 8x95 5x135 8x160 x 3 2x185 x 2 Load = 6,465 I seem to be responding better to higher rep ranges on bench - maybe I am slow twitch fiber dominant in my chest or something. Deadlift 10x135 5x225 5x295 5x315 5x325 x 2 5x275 5x225 Load = 11,275 Good dl workout. Worked out with a friend and he brought his new digital camcorder so we took some video of most of our dl sessions. My technique looks ok - I definitely lift mostly with my back and with a rounded upper back at heavy weights. I do a pretty good job of not rising too fast with my hips and my lower back stays nice and flat. Not the prettiest form by any stretch, but it confirmed in my mind that it's certainly safe. Having gazelle legs is just an extra hurdle for me. Hopefully I can upload some of the clips when I get them.

Re: SmileyEH\'s Log
Rest/hugnover day today. Yesterdays workout:
500m row 1:39 @24 10 dips 6pullups 15 back extensions, incline situps OHS and power snatches Front Squat 10x45 5x135 3x185 3x220 x 10 Load = 8,280 Barbell Shoulder Press 10x45 5x95 5x115 4x115 fail 5th 5x115 x 2 4x115 fail 5th Load = 3,570 10 muscle ups in 6 mins. Front squats were very tough, but good. Shoulder press still feels like crap, I just don't seem to be improving much at all. Tried to finsih up with 30 muscleups, but I ran out of tape and couldn't properly protect my wrist. Plus the AC was turned off or something in the gym and my hands were too slick to get a consistent grip on the rings so I gave up early.

Re: SmileyEH\'s Log
Drunk friday and saturday night so took the whole weekend off. Either my body still isn't over the alcohol/empty calories or I'm just in need of a light week. Didn't feel 100% today, see how the rest of exam week goes. I'd like to keep going strong because I probably won't have access to a good gym for the rest of the summer.
2min bike Power snatches + OHS Hang Snatch 5x95 power 3x95 3x115 power 2x115 x 2 1f + 3x115 C&J warmups with 115 and 135 1x185 power clean + split jerk x 2 1x195 power clean + split jerk (power clean PR) 1x205 " " fail 1x185 full clean + split jerk 1x195 " " + fail split jerk A bunch of friends were in the gym so we were messing around with rings, teaching some guys how to snatch/kip/deadlift etc. Wasn't really focused at all. Back Squat: 8x135 3x225 3x250 x 10 Load = 9,255 Finally got around to uploading deadlift videos from last week. Clips got squished somewhat - I'm not actually that skinny. 5x325 set 1 5x325 set 2

Re: SmileyEH\'s Log
Smiley, I'm not sneezing at the weight you deadlift, but it does look like you start your lift with your hips too high.

[/ QUOTE ] I used to start lower, but my hips ended up just rising before I got the weight off the ground. Thats why I feel like I do more of a romanian deadlift than anything else. Long legs/short arms? Either way I don't think it's a big deal (although I could be convinced otherwise). I think I also get more of a crossover to 1st pull clean/snatch.

It also seems like your back is rounded out. I prefer a much straighter back. Not sure if it's a huge problem, but I just get all queasy thinking about herniated discs and the like.
