Thats great! I love it!2 -
Also got 220lbs in deads (one set of 5). I need to repeat this one because it felt heavy and it felt like my form was slipping. Not as bad as the first time I did 220x5, but still.

Yay it's so nice to see someone new contributing!
I don't know a lot about form with a smith machine, but good on you for pushing 300! Anytime you push a pr, you see a bit of shaky form.
I look forward to when you post the same lift like it's a knife through butter!3 -

Haha thank you! That means so much to me because I have spent so much time watching and checking form over the years. I've always worried about having good form that when it's recognized, it's an awesome gift!
And since that was my last set of the 5,where my form felt weaker, it means even more!
On a side note... I love how big my quads look coming out of the hole. Haha.1 -
Your quads are amazing!2

In case anyone wonders... I do try to bench. Lol. I am only at 85lb (5x5) because I kind of have to baby my shoulder. It's always been my most disappointing LIFT (well that and OHP), but the past few sessions I am starting to feel like maybe I've found the right form I need. (The squeezing of the shoulder blades and tensioning the bar is really helping)
As always.. I am open to form correction.

Not a correction but a tip from my physiotherapist to protect the shoulder (although that may be specific to the subluxation in my case) is not to drop the elbows lower than the shoulders. In the end I had to give up BP entirely. I'll just live vicariously through you.3 -

Unfortunately, if I did that, I'd never get the bar even close to my chest. I think I want to take my chances for now. 😊1 -

KickAA- Almost every thread I look at you have posts complementing or encouraging others. From what I see your pretty amazing too and I’m sure your words are appreciated by so many. Your a beast under the bar and an absolute beauty. Have a great night-4 -
