Re: your K message about the knee - your analysis about relying on the dominant side (especially if that involves leaning to that side and putting more pressure on the knee) seems like as good an explanation as any.

If your previous grip was excessively wide, your might want to continue to give the narrower grip aspect of Rippetoe's description a shot; without the distraction of the odd thumb placement, you might find that it helps you stay more tight/upright.

That is kinda what I was thinking. Last time FF and I trained together he said my left side was pulling my right side into the hole.

I am working on the flexability in my shoulders and chest a ton. I will be switching my thumb back as it just feels strange.

His Dad is a really nice, funny old guy - probaly 75-80'ish. He and I have a good time joking around.

Maybe you should just stick to the basics!

Squats - Bar low on back and get your ass to the ground everytime!

Bench - Tuck back and elbows in. Move the fuckin' weight.

DL - Ass down and hands in close. Pull like your life depends on it.

Now piss off and get to the gym. From your loving and soon to be skinny and weak little friend. Maybe I can win a push-up comp. 300+ in 3 minutes...

Weight this AM: ???

Todays Workout: Med/Light Day

Power Clean: warmup, 135 x3x5
GP Row: 165 x5x5
Jump Shrug: 315 x5x5
Hyper: BW x8, +25x8, +50x8x2 - 50 was light -

Haven't done Hypers in a bit... We will see if doing them pre heavy squat/press day is good or if they need to go into Mondays heavy pull day.

If intensity is determined by work in relation to your RM's today was a 75% effort...but mentally I was pushing it. Some days are just not as good as others, plus I am a mental cluster fuck w/ a hit/miss diet... Progress is enough for now.

Hey Al, in reference to your Balco t-shirt...I found a great t-shirt on cafepress.com that you're gonna have to buy in a couple years...

"My Kid Can Bench Press Your Honor Roll Student"

I also found some amazing training, squatting and deadlifting t-shirts but they aren't log relevant so I won't go there.

Hope u're new program is working out great for u.

My son would love it if I wore that t-shirt. And for the record, my shoulders/traps/chest are almost busting the seams of the XL Balco shirt - nice!!!

My goal is to be powerful 1st and massive 2nd. So I think my layout is suited for my personal goals.

Plus I want to get absurd amounts of weight over my head.
