Awesome to see a front squat vid from one of our own. Even cooler though is that you're not afraid to post the good, the bad, and occasionally, the ugly. Most guys would've scrubbed a vid where they stumble into the rack. LoL Nice to see your ego isn't as big as your lifts. You're an asset here, no question.

Another short session yesterday, I was supposed to do closegrips but I figured I'd see what my flat was up to after not doing it for so long. Actually no, that's a lie.. the reason I did flat was because of the pair of very vocal cockrings on the bench next to me playing drop'n'hump and swaggering around all puffed up after their horrible tagteam singles.
365 x 5 (touch on last), 335 x 8 (touch on last)
parallel wide grip pullups + 45 x 8,8
seated press from the pins, slightly below chin level 225 x 5,5, 245 x 2
prone row 225 x 12, rev grip prone row 1 x 6 .. need another supported rowing move to rotate in as this isnt letting me go heavy.

Legs today, a lovely day to try to set some new PRs it was too.
I have a lump the size of a golfball in my right thigh which may or may not be due to my dubious homebrew tren, fingers crossed it goes away soon because it affected my pushing a fair bit tonight.
Safety squats, 835 x 3 (PR), 875 x 1 (PR), 725 x 2 (supposed to be 8, but my right glute went after the second rep and I wasnt going to chance it)
http://media.putfile.com/875safetysquat
some 3/4 bottom position squats off the pins to see how my ass held up. It didnt. 405 x 3 was the highest I got before backing off
leg extensions for rep work (yes I suck)
Ghetto GHR x 13,
calfs, abs, db curls to finish

Your form looked very solid on that single. Nicely done. Where was your quivering spotter? I'm still waiting for his next appearance. I'd LOVE to see him spot you or BiggT doing some big Overhead work. LoL He'd crap himself seeing 305 go up in the air. LoL

Sadly he was otherwise engaged tonight
there's a huge young guy who trains in my gym sometimes who pressed 315 for 8, seated(!) without any arching the other night, I spotted him and really really wanted to get a vid of my spotter doing it on his second set.. but he wasn't having any of it

sick and my shoulder hurts.. gonna spend this weekend in bed feeling sorry for myself.
incline smith 365 x 5,4, 405 x 2 (assist on last one)
I'm replacing the free incline with this to give my stablisers a break.. went too heavy and my elbows locked up on the last rep - 2 sets of 4-6 followed by a 10-12'er next time.
hammer row 6 plates/side x 12, 7 plates/side x 6, 8 plates/side x 6 (very sketchy reps)
I stuck a balance bar through the middle of the weight horns to add more plates onto the machine, a health & safety nightmare no doubt as a 4' long metal rod was whipping around the machine.
My shoulder started to really hurt about here
hammer incline 2 plates/side 3 x 10 backdown
pullups 1 x 8, pulldowns 130 x 12 backdown
just some gentle work to finish off.. I just couldnt focus on bringing it for the last 2 exercises so I figured instead of risking an injury I'd treat it as a deload day
