Thoughts
-2 things: my motherfukkin spotter stole my second rep at 140, he touched the bar so I'm not counting it. It was a true grinder, so I'm not even sure I had rep 2 in me, but I felt strong after the first rep so who knows
-Also, behind the neck presses are so damn weird, why tho?

Good job on the bp, sucks about the spotter snagging the bar too early on the last one. Sometimes it's tough to tell when somebody needs you to jump in. I figure when they're pinned and start crying it's time to help.

When the bar starts to descend instead of ascend is when to help

I don't know why this is so hard to understand?

LMAO! Yeah yeah I know THAT, but sometimes people are coming up shaky and slow as can be and one arm is chicken winging way out there and I'm thinking hmmm, this is not looking good.

Deads feel okay, a little harder than I'd like.
All else is fine.

[thebigzakbowski]

do you feel your db incline curls in your anterior delts? for me seem to feel it there more than biceps

[KissIcon]

Nice session Bubs. How much deficit on your deads?

I do feel them in the anterior delts but in my biceps too. This is actually one of the bicep exercises I like more because I get a killer bicep pump and actually feel like it's working!

Nice session Bubs. How much deficit on your deads?

I use the little 25lb plates instead of the 45s, so maybe a few inches?

Hi Bubs! Looks like things are going great in here, stupid spotters not withstanding

Behind the neck presses... I think my coach has had those in some form in my program every cycle for the last 3 months. They are definitely weird but I actually kind of love them now. Except for when it's behind the neck jerks. For some stupid reason I can't seem to get the bar back down on those without taking the skin off the back of my neck. Between that and the burns around my wrists from straps on heavy pulls people are going to think I'm in to some kinky sh!t.

-225 on box squats is pretty good! Will still be able to go up to about 235 next week I think. There's room for pushing it a bit.
