Ahhh... It's great to know that I can drop of the planet and not look at this thread, come back a year later and still see names like ppself... Or even Harbinger.... ;)

Anyway, I posted about...

Well, as for me, I feel like the key I have found is getting the bar really low and then trying to keep my head up and back fairly straight. Anyway, I assume that it is still on my delts, but I have...

Pretty simple question. It's tough to google, because it just sees the words, how & low bar squats...

I [I]just[I] started doing low bar squats a couple weeks ago and it definitely has made a HUGE...

I really appreciate all of the ideas. I'll try to get a video on Monday. Until then I can tell you a few numbers that may shed light (?)-

Flat bench- 385
Floor Press-365
3 Board press- 415...

I do think that I flare my elbows a bit. What is that a sign of, as far as weak links go?

I just recently started posting some vids of my squat form. I don't know what is better for analyzing, 1 rep max or a heavy set of 5?

So, my front delts are always very sore after bench days. Much more than my triceps, chest, lats, etc...

Is this a sign that they are my weak link? Is there a problem? Or is that normal for many...

Yeah, I knew that going into it, but was struggling a little bit focusing on that while also working on the new form. Hope to get better at it.

Well, I had a thread from a week or so ago about my squat form. I don't really have access to many trainers that are well versed in power lifting so I try to read a lot and hopefully get some...

like in your sig... ;o)

Any other tips? Just put the bar lower and go for it? I guess start lighter and work up, but I am skeptical right now, only because of my lack of prior success...

Honestly, I think I'd need to work with someone on this.

I've thought the same thing in the past. And I was actually commenting about it today with a friend before reading this, but I don't feel...

Thanks to the both of you. It's nice to have some constructive feedback. I have been told about the elbows before and had forgotten. One of those things you miss on when you do this on your own. ...

Can you confirm or deny my hypothesis that my quads and back are proportionally much stronger than the rest of my lower body? I agree on the overall weakness comment, but if those two groups are...

The reason for those lifts is because they show my isolated strength in different muscle groups... I'm pretty certain that a person with a lot of experience would be able to identify any unbalanced...

So, I am trying to figure out my weak points so I can start focusing my attention on them. I think I've got weak glutes/hams, and as for bench, I don't really know. I've been reading all over, and...

Raw for now. It's just a hobby of mine. I have never competed, but may try in the Spring. I hope to be benching over 400 by then and hopefully dead lifting over 600. My squat is really my weak point....

So! A new good question then-

I am trying to get my squat up (obviously)... I am have been relearning the squat as of recent. I used to use a olympic squat form, I used almost all quads, and I got...

This is kinda what I was thinking. But I had read it multiple times. That quote was from the Periodization Bible Part II, which is the best writeup I have found.

I too think I should be focusing...

So, I have been reading all around about the westside conjugate periodization training method. Love it or hate it, I'm trying to figure out some of the finer points to better suit myself. My current...
