Squats are actually feeling easier. Deadlift wasn't a problem either, but my grip is apparently weak. I'll try to man up next time and get a better hold on it.

Finally working in the 200's in squats. Felt great. It was a challenge, but not too bad.

Good call on vids...lets check your technique and form. Great job otherwise.

I appreciate the kind words and concerns about my squatting. I'm gonna be working out in about an hour, so I'll get a video for you guys.

Good workout. 85lb press felt fairly heavy. That just sounds so weak, haha. Anyway, as requested, here are 3 vids from each working set of squats. I know the angles are awkward, but I didn't have my partner there to hold the camera. Hopefully you can tell what's going on. Any input is appreciated.

My legs took a beating. Also, I tied my current bench PR. I shouldn't have any problem breaking it on the next workout, so I'm excited about that.

Just jumping into this topic but looking good so far. Keep up with it, your work outs are looking great, the dieting is the hardest part though. Keep it coming...

Squats are getting really tough, but I'm still pumping them out. I look forward to breaking past 100 on the press. It shouldn't be too much of a problem. I think I really need to eat even more than I already do to keep up with the workouts. I'm drinking my post-workout shake and eating brown rice as I type this. It'll be time for steak, veggies, and a sweet potatoe in just a few minutes. Gotta keep eating big.

Squats - I've never both loved and hated something so much at the same time. I don't feel like I'm going to fail, but man they are tough. I'm happy about the bench PR because when I "trained" last fall, I was stuck at 155 for quite a while, and even then I couldn't do it for 3 sets. Awesome

Great job on the chins!
