with sumo i feel it more in my hams.
form is definitely getting better. but two things;
youre squatting down a tad when you reach for the bar. dont do that. bend over to grab. then set your back and sit back.
swing your hips thru the bar!

Thanks man. My best advice for you would be to push your elbows down. Elbows down helps keep the upper back tight and the chest up.
Thanks bro. I did the past two VD's while sick. It sucked, but then again VD usually does anyway haha.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks.Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5

I didn't see much GM action either, knees looked a little shaky, not uncommon for ID though. Legs looking thick, bro - what is your BW at these days?
Incredible benching also. I thought you were done after 6 on that 215, then you were able to grind out two more
I love how your squat max and rep PR are the same now. At this rate you'll hit your 4-plate goal for reps before you nail it for a single. TM > *My Journal (RIP 05/11 - 09/13):

Thanks man. Good luck, smash those weights!!!
Thanks bro. Yeah I made the comment before I watched the video. My back is weak compared to my legs, so sometimes when I let the weight come forward a bit, it feels like I'm GM'ing pretty bad.
Yeah knees were all over the place. I'm honestly too scared to step on a scale, but I'm probably high 230's
While it would be cool to bang out 5 reps the first time I squat 4 plates, I'll most likely try to hit 455 for a single before then.Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5

Jshaw, This is incredibly impressive man, I inspire to increase my Big three lifts just as well as you did! Just wondering did you really increase form 135 bench to 185 in just a month? That seems ridiculous, and also add 50+ pounds to you're squats/deads in a month? Or were you're lifts already near that weight but you started low to make sure you're form was right any everything. I'm considering doing either starting strength, stronglifts 5x5 or madcow 5x5 so any input would be highly appreciated. And man great log you're an inspiration.

Thanks man. When I started SS back in January, it was pretty much my first time doing any barbell training since high school. My starting weights were probably a bit lower than I was capable of, but that's how you should start. Adding 50+ lbs in the first month is actually pretty reasonable on a linear progression program like SS for a novice.
I would definitely recommend you give SS a shot. Read the book if you haven't already, stick to the program, and eat eat eat. If the numbers in your sig are where you're at now, I would probably lower the weights by 15-20% to get started.Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5

200 lb x 3 reps (+82 pts)
270 lb x 2 reps (+111 pts)
335 lb x 5 reps (+254 pts)
335 lb x 5 reps (+254 pts)
335 lb x 5 reps (+254 pts) vid
335 lb x 5 reps (+254 pts)

God I hate volume day haha. Videos will be uploaded a little later today.
Parallel-Grip Pull-Up:
5 reps (+49 pts)
5 reps (+49 pts)
This my favorite grip for pullups, but the only parallel handles are right above the cable crossover, which is almost always in use.
Seated Cable Row:
105 lb x 10 reps (+34 pts)
120 lb x 10 reps (+37 pts)
Used the v-grip handle. I think that's my favorite to use for cable rows.
Hanging Straight Leg Raise:
8 reps (+5 pts)
8 reps (+5 pts)
8 reps (+5 pts)
8 reps (+5 pts)
Leg raises were done after each set of pullups and rows.Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5

Thanks woodman. Yeah after Macenko, I'm going to go back to TM for bench, but I'm going to start alternating in OHP instead of doing bench every week.
Thanks man. I usually take 5-6 minutes from the time I take my belt off to the time I go to put it back on, so it's probably closer to 7-8 minutes between sets.
Yeah buddy.
That's cool man, good luck. What king of programming are you planning to run?Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5

dont know yet, will probably only incorporate some ideas of strength training to the compounds in order to make some serious progression in that field, only thing I tried so far was 5x5. I had during my life some serious joint problems and have to be real careful when thinking of working with heavy things

I would probably recommend you try a program like 5/3/1. It has the strength training on the main lifts, while the assistance work can be tailored to incorporate your other goals. Also, it's a nice slow progression with deloads built into the program, so it should be easier for your joints to adapt to heavier loads.
Ahhh. I don't venture into the misc very often, I feel like I lose a few IQ points every time I go in there haha.
I just realized I never uploaded the video from yesterday. I'll throw that up when I upload the video from tonight's Macenko session.Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5

I haven't given it much thought just yet. Three weeks from today will mark my 1 year anniversary for barbell training, so I'll probably post something up then to summarize the first year and set some goals for year two. Rough guess, I'm thinking I'd like to get my total to at least 1,400 lbs at ~200 lbs.
My last week of TM on bench was 215x5x5 and 235x5.Powerlifting Log - http://tinyurl.com/jshaw5
