Just have to cue shoving my knees out a bit more, and drop the bar a bit on my back.
It's ... odd, yeah. But I'm not too worried, as it's all bumper plates where I'm squatting right now, so dumping is a viable option... If ever.
Yeah, wasn't too bad! I think all the rolling that I'm going to start doing will also help. I'm also thinking of doing 20 minutes of yoga a day... Just have to get a mat and a DVD.

Oh shieeeeeeet I missed this! Don't hate me
Thanks. Trying to get everything tip-top so that I don't have a problem in the future, and that I can move more weight. I got some good work done tonight, even if it was a "light" day.
The Voluminous Program from Down Undah
Heavy Bench/Squats and Light Deads - Week 1: 2013-01-11
Barbell Bench Press:
95 lb x 10 reps (+59 pts)
115 lb x 10 reps (+68 pts)
140 lb x 10 reps (+80 pts)
140 lb x 10 reps (+80 pts)
140 lb x 10 reps (+80 pts)
Heavy bench week 1. Vids for setup et al are below. Nothing terribly difficult, just still getting used to benching in this area.
Dumbbell Bench Press:
45 lb x 8 reps (+55 pts)
50 lb x 8 reps (+59 pts)
50 lb x 8 reps (+59 pts)
50s seem like a good place to start
Barbell Squat:
95 lb x 10 reps (+59 pts)
120 lb x 10 reps (+70 pts)
150 lb x 10 reps (+86 pts)
150 lb x 10 reps (+86 pts)
150 lb x 10 reps (+86 pts)
Heavy squats week 1. I could feel myself going off, getting some butt wink, but I think I just need to warm up more. I kind of just jumped into these, because of time constraints.
Barbell Deadlift:
65 lb x 10 reps (+48 pts)
95 lb x 10 reps (+59 pts)
135 lb x 10 reps (+77 pts)
135 lb x 10 reps (+77 pts)
135 lb x 10 reps (+77 pts)
Light deads week 1. Tried to keep everything that I had written in mind. Was reminded to be explosive, which you can see in the second set of deads more than the first. I think they're coming along!
Pendlay Row:
95 lb x 8 reps (+43 pts)
95 lb x 8 reps (+43 pts)
95 lb x 8 reps (+43 pts)
These were easy as ... Will be bumping to 135lbs next session.

So I need to get to the gym even earlier on Fridays for Day 5 ... Hoooo boy the schedule changes.
Also... Chalk is f&*&ing badass. Every gym should allow chalk. Damn!Proud member of Team Ogre

Thanks! Still have form work to do, though.
That's actually a hallway away from the main part of the gym. Granted, there weren't many people there when I went (Friday night, people have to get their pump going early, then wash and head to Montreal), but yeah. There was a woman behind the camera doing snatches. You can hear her in the deadlift vid.
She was using chalk, so I was like, "Fuk it, I'm going to use my chalk too." And it was gooooood.
New page bump!

Bwahahahahah it does, eh? I changed it 3 times before I settled on that.
Thanks! Nick wants me to try setting up my traps first, so I'll be giving that a shot on Tuesday. Kind of sucks that the new programming is going to have to wait for a week ... I have a touch-up with Lasik on Friday, so no lifting for 7 days.

Form is looking good man. All that was in one session?

Yessir! Long session is long, hahah!
Deads had some back rounding during the sets, and I'm still not shoving my knees out enough on squats ... Getting there though!
Bench form looks good, and it feels good ... I'm being asked to try setting up differently (feet on bench), so I'm going to see what that does for me.Proud member of Team Ogre

I had the same experience. My eyes stung a bit on the ride home, but other than that, the procedure was quick, easy, and painless.
I didn't think knee cave looked bad. Squat stance was a bit wide for my liking, but it seems to work for you.
I just tried the feet up method on Thursday. While it was a stupid move to try something new on the last week of Macenko with only 1 session before my planned max attempt (which I ended up nixing), I could definitely feel the improvement in my arch. Unfortunately my back started to cramp up on my heavy set. I think it's going to take some getting used to.Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5

I'm going to give a narrower stance a try on Thursday, just for sh!ts'n'giggles. It may actually help with bouncing out of the hole, and keeping my knees out. I'll also be doing feet up on Thursday. I'm just so used to setting my feet first (a la "So you think you can bench" series)... It's a light bench day, so I shouldn't have a problem.
lol ... Once I saw what was happening with the flap, and the fact that I really didn't have anywhere else to look, I was fine with the whole thing. My body didn't reject it, they just didn't get everything the first time. I'm confident this will be the last time I need a touch up for ages. And it's pretty recent, too, so the flap hasn't really healed 100% yet.Proud member of Team Ogre

Let's work on correcting this issue.
Same here. I wear glasses because I can see better, but my eye sight isn't bad enough to even have to wear them when I drive. The one doctor I went to said it wasn't even bad enough for them to try to correct it with Lasik.
Are you saying this because you see your back rounding or because you feel your back rounding? It didn't look all that bad in the video, but I'd wager your MMC is good enough now to judge back rounding by feel much better than by video.
Also 3x10 deads is nuts. I'm pretty sure my back would start rounding at the end of a 3x10 of deads as well - almost regardless of the weight.
Keep up the good work friend!My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):
