D are you doing the bb rows from the floor bent over 90 degrees or elevated more? I'm not sure which way to do them.

Ok cool. I've give that a try today. I've been doing mine bent over at 45

The way sugazombie is doing them is exactly as I instructed her. This way you get better stimulation at your mid traps and lower lats. Also both of you ladies might wanna try wide grip. I put my index fingers on the narrow smooth rings on the oly bar. (narrow unkunurled smooth part)

Ok sugazombie, very nice workout.
Now that your getting up in weights some things to look out for to prevent injury.

On your squat make sure that your pelvis is going past parallel to the floor. Not just the tops of your thights. This is waaay better for your knees, back and hips. Have your belly full of air. So you would unrack the weight, take a deep breath and hold it. Do your first rep, breath out going up, repeat.

On your bench. If you are feeling anything at all in your shoulders tell me about it! Dont wanna see you bust a cuff cuz there is no need to at all.

On your BBL Row, pay attention to your neck. Have your head a little bit up but not too much, that can cause neck injury.

Your looking good sugazombie and I know your working hard. Its gonna get more difficult from here on out and you have it in you to do it.
You will most likely be getting to the point that you dont get your full 5x5 and thats fine. What you do is you just come next time at the same weight and hit that bitch again. Just dont let it get the best of you and you will be just fine.

Thanks zed! I'm headed to the gym now to give it a try. I usually have a bit of trouble with em cuz of my shoulder surgeries.

I miss bent over barbell rows. I always got a great pump from them. My herniated disks limit me to machine rows and bent over dumbell rows on a bench.
