UHCougar05's Training Videos

[UHCougar05]

This was yesterday's squat workout (work sets):

-mSZrgrcfio

I know they're a bit high, but I'm still about 12.5 weeks out of my meet, so depth shouldn't be an issue come meet time.

[krakken]

Nice work bro, as you said you wont ANY problems making depth!

[Jason2459]

Looked really good. Doesn't look you are that far away from hitting depth.

[UHCougar05]

Looked really good. Doesn't look you are that far away from hitting depth.Thanks Jason. I guess they looked high from the video, so I guess I just need to add more weight. :D

[PitzaPapa]

a bit high?

[DJSTARER]

you're handling a lot of weight there. Good job. Just sink that ****.

[UHCougar05]

Thanks Fellas... :D Depth is an issue I need to work on. I think I had my stance too close, which caused me to sit down rather than sit back. It was an off night for all my training partners.

[Code_B]

just watched em. Nice work and they weren't too far off from depth at all. Should have no problem getting em down in 12 weeks. Good luck and keep updating w/ more training videos :)

Hopefully my training partner will keep bringing his camera on Sundays and hopefully during the week for bench and deads.

[Diana Meeque]

i always had a harder time getting depth in just briefs than in full gear. seems stupid i just felt more confident with the suit on and straps up so i could get a better/faster start and get to depth without really sacrificing form too much like i would in just my briefs.

good luck at the meet

[Code_B]

would be siiiiiiiiiiiick brah!

u guys got a bad ass gym + equip.

your dead technique isnt very smooth bro. work on your setup, looks like its swinging in then out on majority of the lifts when you break it from floor.


whats with the squats. your not even sinking the lighter stuff to parallel?

I'm working on my deads, so that explains the technique.

As for the squats, I work up raw to the first sets on the video, then it takes me a few sets to get my gear where I need it to be so I can hit depth. I won't make excuses though, I need to hit depth more, which is something I'm working on.

[Norse1308]

Strong lifts -

But just wondering as I've seen all of your squat vids. Why can't you hit parallel on any of your squats? Not trying to be a dick, just wondering why. I have flexibility issues in my hips I think, so it's harder for me to go low as well.

I have flexibility issues in my hips I think, so it's harder for me to go low as well.Hip flexibility and the gear I'm wearing makes it hard to hit depth. I'm also still playing around with my stance because I have a bit of pain in my hip flexor and TFL.

Sunday's Squats:

[ChuckBird]

What kind of plates are you using? It doesn't look like you numbers match what's on the bar. No disrepect, just wondering.

[UHCougar05]

What kind of plates are you using? It doesn't look like you numbers match what's on the bar. No disrepect, just wondering.The large darker plate is a 100lb plate. The videos might be off, my training partner had to do the labeling from memory.

[ChuckBird]

Aww, That makes since now..

[Norse1308]

First set looks like 335?

2 blacks + 2 45's + 45 bar = 335?

But like I said, good vids man, you sit back real nice and have a kickass arch.

But like I said, good vids man, you sit back real nice and have a kickass arch.Thanks. It's a 55lb bar, so it would be 345. Yeah, I think that my training partner was a set behind. I'm not 100% sure though.

Yeah, the big guy calling depth (Ron C. from Lone Star Barbell) said I don't have to arch too much more, as I have a pretty good natural arch in my lower back. :D

[UHCougar05]

Wednesday's Benching
Kv_Ry5ofmsE

Too many weeks in the shirt and as my training partner said "Not enough volume and too big of jumps in weight".

I'll be taking two weeks out of my shirt and then working back up with more triples at lower weights.

I wanted to brag on my cousin a bit. This was his first meet (he's 13):

[Norse1308]

Niiiice squats. Brother is strong for 13.

[UHCougar05]

Niiiice squats. Brother is strong for 13.Thanks. He could be really good if he decides to stick with it.

Here's the meet video:

Good met man!

Is that your fiancee in the background screaming at you on the deads? She seems really into it.

[UHCougar05]

Good met man!

Is that your fiancee in the background screaming at you on the deads? She seems really into it.Yeah, that's her. She was the one calling my depth on squats as well. She gets a little hyped up. I told her we're switching her to decaf... :D

[grindingitout]

Yeah, that's her. She was the one calling my depth on squats as well. She gets a little hyped up. I told her we're switching her to decaf... :D

Don't switch to decaf. As a matter of fact she should probably drink a couple more pots b/c it looks like someone needs to motivate your ass. Nothing wrong with a p screaming at you if that is what you like. Great job. The squat depth was close (last one) but you nailed it but about 1/2cm, and that is all you need. Again, great job.

I looked a little closer at the video, my right side seemed fine, but the left was lagging. I've favored that side since I injured my knee in high school, it's something I need to work on.

[weakshit]

very nice meet, really impressed with your squats!

[UHCougar05]

very nice meet, really impressed with your squats!Thanks. :D

[19george]

God damn, I would not mess with your fiance.

[UHCougar05]

God damn, I would not mess with your fiance.Yeah, normally she's quiet and easy going. Things usually get crazy on heavy squat days and meets. :D

[RAW87]

Awsome journal man. Great job at your meet. Its good to see your cousin lifting also. Keep up the good work!

[scott_lycan]

subbed, strong ass lifts man. repped once of charge, will follow this thread, keep up the awesome work, before you know it you'll be hitting 2000 total

[Big B Bro]

Amazing vids man!

[Diana Meeque]

you're crazy explosive man. watching your meet vid makes me miss geared lifting, you make it look so effortless. especially on the squats. your form looks perfect on all 3 lifts too, that was a great vid
