Sunday - August 17

*Note to self: Don't do shoulders day after chest/triceps

Seated Barbell Press
95 x 15
140 x 3 sets x 5 reps
165 x 5 (failed!)
170 x 3!!! (+5 lbs, -4 reps)

The only reason its a PR because its low reps with unfamiliar weight. Then I decided to just go light and finish off shoulders.

Dumbell Laterals: 20's x 2 sets x 20 reps
Upright Row: 135 x 3 + 3 cheated
Face Pulls: 4 sets x 20 reps (low and high)

Bro I know you don't want to hear this but You Have Got To Work On Your Squat Form. Regardless if it is meant to be a high bar oly squat or a pl squat, you are asking for a serious knee injury, plus you are like 6-8 inches from parallel. Don't take this as an insult I just want to see you getting the weights you deserve safely.

 

[revexrevex]

Yea? I thought I got down to paralle.... o well back to light weights once again

 

[revexrevex]

I appreciate all the criticism guys... this squat thing is getting annoying... maybe I should completely get rid of them and switch to front squats or something.... I don't see how I will fix this inability to get to parallel without continiously injuring myself anytime soon

Don't give up on squats! You'll never find a better exercise. Here's a couple tips that I've given to many people.

1) Practice on a wall. Toe up to a wall about 1-3 inches from the wall and squat. If your knees or face are dragging the wall, you you know you need to sit back a bit more.

2) You can also toe up to a bench. This allows you a slight forward lean, but will keep your knees from going past your toes.

3) Let your hips be the first movement back. Alot of new squatters bend their knees first without moving their hips. This forces your knees out over your toes and makes it nearly impossible to get good depth. Again, sit back and let your butt move back first then bend your knees to squat down.

It's really hard to describe such a complex movement on here, but I hope those tips will keep you motivated for squats. Give them a try and feel free to ask any questions.
