Not when your considered "white collar"

I was warned ahead of time by mendhi to buy my own 2.5 and 1.25

The dreaded OHP day-again//Have to...Have to..add weight

Welcome! I only do the dreaded cardio on off weight days. Absolutely LOVE 5x5

Metolius Eco Ball (Non-Marking Chalk Substitute, colors vary) This helps with the slipping and gyms allow it.. I was asking about the mixed grips: Is there a science to which hand is over and under?

Yes, North central jersey

What are the guidelined for mixed grips?

Welcome! I'm a newbi myself and enjoying the workout

Thanks to all for the advice and encouragment. It is very frustrating especially since my sqaut and deadlifts are doing so well.

Thank you for that! I got through my reps with the 45 olympic bar yesterday, but with no style..

I'm trying VERY hard to not do that bounce and keep a clean military press

Thanks JKnick

I started my fitness/diet journey December 2011: hired a PT and stuck with him for 6 months. Liked the guy, but wasn't seeing any results. When he moved on to greener pastures, I joined another gym and hired another PT-who was completely useless. Poor knowlege base and unmotivated himself. I'm not paying someone to stand…

I should say that my bench isn't a joy filled experience either

I do try not to!! But as I become more fatigued, I catch myself with that little jump. I know it should be a straight military press up

You don’t use leg drive to push the bar overhead, but try to keep your legs strong and taut through the entire movement." Thats the tough part. I keep using that spring motion to jerk the bar up

My PT suggested the smaller incrimental weights, but even the 1.4 and 2.5 were darned hard to find. We are thinking about chains

I did buy 1.4 and 2.5 weight plates the other day

Barbell- doing stronglifts.. stalled at 65lbs

C'mon now, I'm looking for that 50+ set

So I did imagine it?

Yes, as though you were bringing you schoulder blades together

Can I ask what you were doing with 5x5 as far as diet and cardio? Thanks

Yes, the magic 55...It is where I'm stuck as well

That sounds like my story.

BUMP for later

^ This^

Yeah, have to admitt my push ups aren't great either. The longer "pulling" muscles are alot stronger than the shorter "push" dedicated muscles

I did, this weekend, buy my own 1.5 and 2.5 weight plates.

I purchased my own set of 1.5 and 2.5 weights
