As promised, I am posting some video of my squat workout from Monday. Hit a new all time PR of 650. I feel as though I had some room to spare, and probably should have gone for another set w/higher weight, but I didn't.
Sorry about the angle of the video. didn't realize that it wasn't gonna be a very good angle, but if you look at my reflection in the mirror, you can see it better. I tried to convert the file, and then shorten the video, but when I did, video got real distorted, so you will have to just bare through watching me set up to do the lift.
Learned a very valuable lesson that I want to pass on to everyone. Do not attempt to go for a max bench press the day after a max squat attempt. Little did I know, that when squatting, you are putting a lot of stress on your elbows while holding on to the bar during the squat. The day after my PR squat, I was to try a Rage X bench shirt. (I had tried one the week before, was 2 sizes too big, but was able to bench 425 with it.) got the shirt on, went w/an easy weight (405) and as I brought it down, I immediately felt a lot of pain, and a burning sensation in my elbows. I couldn't even begin to reverse the weight, and told my lifting partner to take it. Had to call it a day at that, b/c I am not about to try to work through an injury, only to make it worse, and have even more time out of they gym. I was talking with my training partner, and he told me that he had experienced the same thing, and that he hasn't tried to bench heavy after a heavy squat day. I thought to myself "gee...why didn't you share this info with me earlier?"
here's the squat video:
