    First little mock meet in the books, with BW at 185.2 lbs.

    No All-Time PRs, but performed well in comparison to them, while at a lower body weight. A strong improvement over where I had my 1RMs set at the beginning of this block as well (335 lb. High Bar Squat, 240 lb. Bench Press, 450 lb. Sumo Deadlift). 1x1x315, 1x1x335, and 1x1x355 High Bar Squat (10 lbs off my All-Time best, while at 15 lbs less BW). 1x1x230, 1x1x240, 1x1x255 (tied all time best paused thus far). 1x1x455, 1x1x485, and 1x1x515 Sumo Deads (10 lbs off best Sumo Dead around same BW). 1,125 lbs "total"...

    Possibly had a good 10 lbs or so in the tank on each of these, so I guess I'm in a good spot for the next block. Taking a day of rest today, and then jumping back in. I'm excited to see what improvements I can make in the next six weeks.

    Hey guys and gals
    Started SL 5x5 a while back then dropped off during the summer (holidays/work/being a lazy git!) but getting back on it this week. Work out at home so don't have anybody to critic my technique, so have taken a short video of my squats and would love some advice/pointers from you much more experienced people!
    Thanks in advance

    Yeah, that bar position is even high for a high bar squat. As far as depth, you don't necessarily have to go that deep, but, I'm guilty of ATG instead of just breaking parallel too. If you get rid of the pad, you'll be able to rack it better and the pad won't be necessary because the lower placement won't be giving you pain.

    Nothing like some of you folk but happy with my 315x2 rep pr for squats. Never, ever worked legs prior to my 40's so I've gone from struggling with 135 to a couple reps at 315. This is also at a lower bodyweight (190 vs 215)compared to the first time I got a single at 315.

    I could feel those! But yeah, looked good/powerful.

    Did you wrap straps around the bar to hold onto on the front squat? Finding a grip that works is one of my biggest complaints about front squats.

    I know you didn't ask me either - but ;) - I'm trying to learn to use the "standard" grip and it freaking sucks!
    I could probably do the arm cross variation and be fine, but since I'm trying to learn Oly lifts I suppose it's best to just figure it out... I'm struggling hard with not having the mobility to do the standard front rack though! We maxed the other day and my elbows not being up really limited how much I could lift.
    Keep working on it. I used to do the genie style aka body builder style front squats but I found I ended up choking myself more thus I dropped the weight and grinding out FS in the front rack position. Now, that I've gutted through it, I can get in the front rack pretty easy.

    It will come in time trust me. I'm probably the most immobile person that lifts due to my nasty joint disease and 24/7 swelling not to mention being a older male.

    Perhaps moving your hands out farther away from your shoulders without pinkies will help for now?

    I tried them today after some serious deep tissue work and things were MUCH better.
    Elbows felt higher, bar in a better position. I tried to do the little finger hook grip, which helped the wrist pain too.

    Back squatting was another story though.... -.-

    Squat 395×1@7.5
    360×5x3@8
    Bench 2ct:265x4x3@9
    RDL:285x7x4@8

    Everything was lighter today so was able to bump intensity, probably just fully recovered from meet.

    Best squat for me thus far. Background is I'll be 51 next month. I weigh in at a lean 145 pounds. Started weigh training 2 years ago. Barbell back squats 3 months ago. Little ugly but went deep. Can't get bar low due to ROM in left shoulder.

    wish I had the video to prove it but today I hit a milestone. got rack pull with 525 on a trap bar without any wraps. My back feels good again time to start working that deadlift back above 350!

    I'm on week 8 of Stronglifts 5x5. I had not Squatted or Deadlifted for 20 years. I'm happy with my progression so far.

    @cgvet37 You're leaning forward before bending at the knees on squats. Both hips and knees need to break together. On OHP, lock your knees and squeeze glutes, don't bounce. Looks like you're making good progress, just want you to do it safely.

    Finally get to share some real squats. I'm not unhappy with what I'm seeing. I've been using the SSB and pretty much solidly under 200 pounds squatting for high reps. This is the first time I've done anything over 200 and done really low reps. Feeling weak- like I wouldn't have wanted to grinding out more reps really since I did 5 sets of 2. But- eh. Some strength loss is bound to happen. So hoping in the next six weeks I can continue to improve my squat. I notice tension in my heels- so I think that's probably causing the rocking forward- or something combined with the rocking forward- I'm not getting any stretch. Anyway- all connected. still moving onward and upward.

    Thanks the SSB is making a difference- I'm not getting to it as often as I would prefer- like once a week is being generous- it's not my bar- so I have to make sure the owner isn't using it when I get there- and in this program legs only happen once a week- so it's just- annoying- but I'm able to grab and activate things moar better where they need to be- so it's getting there.

    Thanks!!! I was happy I bought them- I wasn't going to - but then ... well I couldn't help myself. they do good things for your butt.

    ^^ I don't think it's a poverty bench.
    I don't train at a powerlifting gym, mostly at work and then at some regular gyms. I don't see a lot of people moving more that 200lbs on bench. Most top out around 185 (men).
    I think one of the mental ways we get all wacky is we ONLY see PL type people and have to remember we are probably stronger than 80% of the general population.
