Buddhas Enlightening 5x5 Log

Good stuff.

How's the job hunt going?

Thanx for checking in buildup. I worked my whole life, until I got my Masters Degree, and I haven't worked since!

I can't even get a job at a grocery store. It's times like these where your faith is tested.

I'm teaching music privately and getting a cover band ready for work. Using my Buddhist practice for what it's for.

Refusing to give up is winning!

Best wishes on the job front bro. I know it can be dam tuff on a guy.

Super happy to hear about the squats coming along nicely for you bro.
Dam nice work....nipple shakers for you bro!

Had an interview to work with veterans today, seemed to go well. Any time I felt nervous, I just thought of Zedheds nipple shakers and smiled wryly to myself. But onto the important stuff.

Yesssssss.....Big improvement and still working on it!

Check it out my Bro's

Can't wait for Monday. Even the line at the top of my glutes is getting more even. You see, 2 steps back, 2 steps out, and squat.

Doesnt seem deep enough

With my feet that wide it seems like the bottom. I'll video it from the side on monday. I'm pretty sure my hip joint goes below my knee. Thanx for checking in evan...

Yeh side video would be good. And I'm always checking in bro!

I agree with bro evan. Looks like your just a bit shy of breaking parallel bro. But other then that I really like the fact that you dont lock out at the top. IMO you get quite a bit more from squats doing them that way.
So just a bit lower and your there bro. Nice work!

Thanx for everything Zedhed. I can't wait for Monday!

Thanx for keeping me honest Bro's. Def felt the difference going that little further down. I have begun working on that shuffle step approach in preperation for heavier weights. I have seen SL 5x5 videos and Mehdi locks out on every move. I have always been trained to not fully extend on anything, except for tricepts, but I may change my approach as the weights go up.

Check it out. Side;

As long as this is looking good, the next time I post a video will be next Monday with 225 on the bar. Thanx again...
