SaiBoT ok'ed your form?

I'd say his form looked alright to me....except for a lot of hitching and the way he let the bar drop it looks like ti could put a lot of strain on his back. Also, perhaps he could have the bar a little closer to his legs?

yes that is me MAXING. apart from the 10 rep set which was just fucking around trying my double overhand grip. When your maxing the main goal is to get the weight up which was why I hitched a bit and back rounded a little.

Never. What he did is completely unnecessary and so dangerous that he ended up fucking himself up.

Thats what I thought....I saw his video and knowing your level of knowledge I had to ask...why would you ok such horrendous form?

But I can see you never ok'ed his form...Lots of things need improving regarding his technique. His ass is WAAAYY to high and when it's not, his ass rises before the bar...just to name a few. I figure you've already told him how to do it properly now so I won't go into this.

Just had to ask...I couldn't imagine you saying ok to form like that.

I pull more weight with my ass a bit higher. Think about it you can quarter squat more then you can half squat so why would i drop my hips down making it harder for me to power the bar off the floor? So especially when I was maxing and pulling singles I just pulled the strongest way I could. gladiator pulls like and even mariusz pudzainowski pulls with his hips high. Why would I want to make the deadlift harder? Even when I drop my hips my ass rises first and by the time Iv moved the bar my hips are higher.

Yes I learnt the hard way not to hitch...

Telling him and others what's right it's never enough, feel free to do it anytime you can.

Yeah that hitching is bad stuff, it usually disqualifies your lifts and places all the strain on your back. No wonder why you got injured! But now that you are back, break that old 319 pr quick, and with no hitches!!!

yeah what happened is I got 325 to my knees and couldnt budge it so i thought fuck it im gonna hitch it and do whatever i can to get it up. If you have ever seen derek poundstone hitching it kinda ended up like that lol, I got it to like mid thigh by which time my back was rounded and shit and couldnt move it so I just put it down, eveyrone was lookin at me and i felt like an asshole lol, my back was hurting after and i think thats how i injured it

then dumbell rows with the 88's afterwards just fucked it up even more.

And yes I know hitching isnt allowed in PLing and after that injuury Im not gonna do it anymore at all.


fuck yeah!!! Iv been speaking to the organiser of the PLing competition I am thinking of entering and he has a gym 60-90mins away from me and has invited me to come up and do a bench session with him so he can help my with my form and the paused reps and stuff and help me out with how the competition will go. That will be great because I have never pause benched before and I spoke to him about my training PR's in the bench and he said I could do really well if I can convert to competition benching without loosing too much poundage. Im hyped up I just gotta convinve my mum to drive me that far just to go to a gym lol

In preparation for my benchpress competition in 3 weeks I have layed out my training, it does mean in the first week I will be deadlifting and squatting while still sore but this is the best I can come up with. My hammies are still sore from squats 9 days ago and I know my chest tri's and abs will be sore still on monday because they are very sore today, so I didnt want to do any upper body work on monday and I will just have to cope with squatting with sore hams and abs, maybe wear a belt for max sets.

Monday 1st feb - Squat Day, with submax effort benchpress (form work and pause practise)
Wednesday 3rd feb - deadlift day
Friday 5th feb - Max Effort Bench, 220x1 with no pause then pause work and some assistance
Monday 8th feb - Squat Day
Wednesday 10th feb - Military Press Day and form and pause work for benchpress
Friday - 12th feb - Deadlift day
Monday 15th feb - ME Bench day, maybe hit 226x1 with no pause or just work up to a heavy single/double paused
Wednesday 17th feb - Squat day less volume and assistance than usual
Friday - 19th feb - rest from now until saturday 20th feb

Sunday 21st feb - meet day, wont hit a max effort bench I dont think but I will hit the lowest I can and still qualify, which will probably be around 185-190 obviously paused but also wearing a belt.

oh yah and Im getting a black metal singlet!!!!
