I wasted damn near a year lifting in gear. My lifts suck

If it's really that bad then just choose any progressive overload program and run it hard with food.

I nearly pulled a "FUKKING RACK!" today while squatting, except it was while I was racking the weight. Went in to rack 485 and slammed the plates on the right side into the rack which bounced me back a few inches. Really glad I didn't lose it, because the gym was crowded and the safety catch was all the way in the bottom position.

I've hit during the unrack, but never during the rack. I saw a kid go to rack last Thursday and he hit under the hook on one side and dumped the bar. Luckily he only had 245 or so on the bar and didn't get hit.

The rack I use is juuuuuuust wide enough that I never hit on the un-rack. However, when I'm in a hurry to re-rack because I'm seeing stars, that is when bad things happen.

I was gonna do it but I thought to myself before the set, "If I drop this pssy weight, I deserve to be embarrassed in front of they gym." Lo and behold...

I've done that except it wasn't fully racked, I got out from under it and it came clattering down.

I've made some progress, but nothing like I should have accomplished. Training really haphazardly with the gear for so long really messed me up. I can squat 470x3 in briefs, but can only get 350 for 1 raw. That just isn't right.

I raw bench more than you raw squat. I'm only typing this to motivate you.

guy in high school was going for 500 (most likely quarter squats, i cant really remember but i'm sure they were) and the clip on side failed and the plates all slid off, then obviously the bar flew off the other way... good thing the side spotter got out of the way...


finally felt right to squat again (had a nagging hip injury then of course the first time i go back something messed in my left spinal erector)... felt so weak, maybe it's just getting back into it. 365x5 for 5 sets... feels bad brah.

Slick bars are bad about plates sliding. With that said, I almost never use clips/clamps when I squat just so I know I am keeping the bar balanced on my back.

Thankfully we're tied in bench to squat weight and I know I'm good for a 15lb+ PR. Oh the feels when I surpass your bench on squat...

[Jason2459]

I got my replacement west side power bar from rouge today and its spot on. <1mm play with ruler and no noticeable wobble by just eyeing it also no blemishes anywhere. Awesome bar and even better customer service.

Feeling that right now in a good way. Trying out some gamma labs sampler packet and waking me right up. Taste was ok. Something blue but I need the kick in energy right now. Off to train.
