for the squat weight use whatever weight you can use whilst maintaining good form

meaning yes.... just work on form even if it means the bar. I am sure you'll do great tomorrow bro

Alright will defintaley lower the weight tomorrow, can't record the lifts though unfortunately =(

A question, answer honestly please. Is it normal that i can lift basically fucking nothing? Like i can hardly even squat my own weight, hardly even 100 pounds, and i can't bench my own weight or deadlift anything.... is it normal to be this much of a pussy? Considering my body figure.

Your bench form looked good, and I like that you went deep on squats, although you need to focus on keeping that back straighter. Your dip form actually didn't look too bad to me. On deadlifts there is no need to control the lowering portion so much, you can just let it down pretty quickly. Good luck!!

With the squat, is it because i have a shitty ass core i can't keep my back straight? I have a feeling thats one reason why, but im going to try and keep my back as straight as possible tomorrow.

you are very thin so how can u expect to be super strong without training? I already told you the amount of dips you manages was good. Stick at it though and you will be stronger and better looking in no time...

Yeah seeing a noob doing that many solid parallel dips is actually really impressive, many people can barely do one! Also your bench is actually pretty good for your weight, don't worry

i didnt read alot of the posts but this is what i saw and only my op.


the first vid squats... looks like you have the bar too far back on your shoulders and is throwing your balance off, making you lean alittle too forward. and i would say to not go so deep into the squat. i like to go just past 90*(seated posistion).

dead lift.. im not sure if you are wanting to work more of your lower back /hamies or an all around legs/back type of thing. i personaly only do straitleged dl. i think mabe if you did those you might be able to keep alittle better form.


dips.... dont go so deep after 90* you are puting alot of stress on your shoulders and not on the tri. when you set up to do dips try geting your arms and shoulders in a locked posistion before you actualy dip. posistion your shoulders down not up (ie like if you are shruging) then once your stable bed only at the elbow to a 90 or slitly passed. as your form gets better you will be able to go deeper and not bring so much shoulder into the excersize.

if i were you i would really work on core excersizes as well. if you have a week core ,you will be week everywere else. and wont be able to maintain a good form.


form is everything(to me) granted as you move up to heavy heavy weights you tend to sacrifice form for that one last good riping rep. but dont worry about how much weight is on the bar, and dont worry what others think(not that you are) i just see young kids these day go to the gym and slap on too much weight because they dont wanna look like there week or what not.


but keep at it you can only get better as you go.!!!

dead lift... looked better,

I didnt know 3x5 had dips in it? I thought first workout was squat, bench, dead then second workout was squat, military, row?

anyway, for the dips control yourself on the way down, dropping like that puts you at risk of shoulder and chest injuries, and squeeze your glutes which may help to keep you more controlled, and really grip the bar.

for the deads I think the problem is your using such small plates, next workout you should be able to put a 35lb plate on each side for 115lbs which should raise the bar height a little. But anyway, on the negative portion of the rep you want to break at the hips first. Ill put a good deadlift video at he end of this post for you to watch from diesel crew.

for squats your back is rounding and your GMing out of the hole, there is a sticky on squats on this board with pretty much everything you need to know. check it out

Ill also show u a good video on benching from diesel crew.

A few things:

1. by the looks of it you dont need a spotter for that bench unless the pins are too low to give yourself a good lift off, those safety bars mean if you fail a rep you can just lower the bar back towards your face/neck because it will hit the safeties first

2. loose the lifting gloves lol

3. thats alot of dips to be hitting as a beginner, so congrats, and they were a good depth too

Not a fan of the deadlift video. There is no other way to move a deadlift then vertically along your center of gravity. The center of gravity is the middle of your foot. His method makes you move the bar horizontally.
