Bench press warm up 185 x 2 205 x 1 2-board 205 x 2 235 x 2 255 x 1 275 x miss - pathetic.... Seated BB military press 135 x 4 155 x 4 155 x 3 135 x 3 Triceps hell - circuit training CG incline press - 135 x 8 SKull crushers - 75 x 8 Tate presses - 60s x 6 CG incline press - 135 x 6 Skull crushers -75 x 8 Tate presses - 50s x 4 CG incline press - 135 x 6 Skull crushers - 75 x 6 Tate presses 50s x 3 Med grip pull ups bw x 8 +30 x 6 +40 x 4 bw x 12 DB front raises 25s 25s 25s Notes - cant believe i missed 275. that is seriously weak. ive been training at 3-4 pm since school started on monday because i have class from 7-9, that is the only time i train in the evening - i train at 7 pm every other day. No idea why my tricep strength fell through the floor, but i should pick it back up and i will crush 275 next monday for sure.  As a young lifter, I remember going into the gym and seeing some really big, strong dudes lifting heavy weights, clapping chalk, and making a lot of noise. The music playing on the stereo made you want to work out the moment you walked inside. This has been replaced by a bunch of pencil neck “trainers” with extra-medium muscle shirts and small shorts running around with clipboards having their clients balance on top of a swimming pool ball, juggle dumbbells, and recite their ABCs backwards. - Paul Caldwell

that 345 looked a little nasty. The other attempt that I said was all back didn't look too bad...it's just alot of back. Based upon the speed of that 345 and how much back you are using, if you tweaked your form some, I'd guesstimate you'd be good for around 400 pretty easy. Based on your build, I'd think you'd be a better sumo deadlifter than in the conventional stance. But some people can't fuck with sumo. Deadlift theory says the closer your hands are toward the center of the bar, the less distance you'll have to pull. I disagree with this to a certain extent because first of all you're going to reach a point where you can't grab any closer together because the barbell will become unwieldly. Also there's a point of diminishing returns on the close grip. Make your nasty little dickbeaters into fists and put them straight out in front of you, thumb-to-thumb. Imagine you are grabbing a barbell. Now spread your fists apart and observe how far to the left and right you can move each hand on the imaginary barbell before the barbell would begin to come closer to you. Hope that made sense. The moral of this lecture is, try doing some snatch deads or at least wider grip deads, head up, back straight. It will force you into your leg drive. HTH.

I concur. Widen your stance, drop your ass and use more legs. Unstable, good to see you're still alive and digging SFW.
