Very pleased with this session. My form on the 370 was good...I wanted it to be a little faster but whatever. My form on the 325 for 6 X 2 was much better this week than last weeks go at 315 for 5 X 2 (Kemal can attest to that)

Declines today.

Yes it was better.

[NC_Tarheel]

I don't vid my declines. I'm at the Y and I call it good if I can just get a decent lift off.

I'm working on my buddy to weld me a decline bench.

This. I feel obligate to remind that no vid = no PR

[NC_Tarheel]

This. I feel obligate to remind that no vid = no PR

It does when it's an 8 rep PR

1-3 Rep PR's must have supporting vid footage

[thom2355]

I was so gassed after trap deads I just did a double to get it over with honestly.

EDIT: dry shirt, chalk and Texas bar = no slippage

[Black_Spit]

Wow I think I'm most impressed with how upright your front squat was. Now just put it on your back and do that same thing.

Seems like the work you've been putting in is paying off though seriously.

How close to max effort was that?

I no rite???

I'd guess its in the 90ish % range. I haven't maxed in a while....just trying to work on staying upright and getting progressively heavier

[FrmrHoss]

Guess we can't be lean bros anymore

[HARRYBEAST]

Nice front squat. I suck at those
