hey there, i have a problem keeping elbows tucked on box squats, what is the "pinkie rolling" technique u ladies are talking about to help with this? shoot me a pm if u would, thanx in advance

you just dont have your pinky on the bar. you only grip the bar with your thumb, and three fingers. let the pinky stay off the bar. it changes the angle of your wrist, and for alot of people with shoulder inflexability this works great.

Shirted Bench Day

Shirted Bench Press
215 x 5 x 3

Last Set

4-Board (taking it to a max)
275 x 1
300 x 1
315 x 1, with a touch of help. Pwr_machine said he just guided it for me. As I watch the video, it looks as if the bar goes towards my feet first.

Somehow I managed to strain my neck a bit on the last sets of pin presses.

Bec,
A bit too much tension at the top with the bands, but you strained like hell. It's the straining that you are after. Keep up the great work. Things look good so far. Shoot me an email if you have any questions. I'll be out of town from this Wednesday until the following Monday.

Ok, thanks. I'll set the bands up on the pins next time. Should I still use the green bands?
