I was shaking like a motherfucker on my last one today. I hit 90 lbs. Third week of SS. Somehow that 90 lbs is more challenging than the 250 lb deadlift I did afterward.

Baby weights, but I'm still proud of my progress.

Hey, it's something. Don't beat yourself up over it. If you keep at it with consistent programming, good nutrition, and de-loads when you stop making progress, you'll get numbers of the gods.

Thanks. I'm starting phase 2 next week. OHP now requires micro loading, bench soon will as well, and my deadlift has begun improving 5 lbs only every other workout.

My gym has no rubber plates and I'm building up strength in preparation for doing a hypertrophy routine after (Candito LP) rather than planning on going into power or Olympic lifting, so my plan was to substitute rows for the power clean. Anybody have experience with this? I already know purists will say not to substitute, but that ship has sailed. I was going to do Pendlay row to preserve the explosive aspect of that section of the workout. Good idea or would a normal bent over row be more beneficial?

mfw pressing that shit to the top

Serious question. Is it normal to feel like Im gonna pass out on the last rep of OHP? I feel like Im losing conciousness and dizzy, and I have to grip hard to something (like the rack) to not fall to the ground after grinding that last rep (or failing it)

>>42002030
Keep your chest up, shoulders tight and remember exhaling on each rep. Stance also plays an important role, be solid. Push your head through on each rep, keeping your face behind the bar throughout the movement might be a factor leading to dizziness. Atleast thats what i've experienced.

What do you mean shoulders tight? I don't understand that part

>>42002135

>>42002371
75 kgs, my bodyweight was about 99 kgs back then, I have cut already to 93ish keeping those 75x3

>>41996305
Lol this scene was pure trash. They should have just had him have a scene where he masturbated since that's all the point of this fucking godawful part of a pretty bad movie.

>>41996305
Shit 5x5? I can squat 240, do 10 chinups @ 200lbs, and bench 185 but I can only OHP 90...

Do I just have super weak shoulders?

>>41996305
I started 40kg ohp last workout and could only do 5/5/5/4/3

4th set my right arm fully extended after a good 10 seconds of pushing up but my left arm still had like 2 inches of extension to go and i just couldn't force it up that last little bit. Waa super frustrating but I tried my absolute hardest so it still felt like a great workout. Final set i couldn't even push it up past my forhead on the 4th rep.

Start from a deadstop at the bottom, what you're doing is the equivalent of bouncing. It's not bench, put it on your clavicular, breathe in and press.

>It was reckoned that a man should have been able to press his bodyweight.

This is the true test of a man. Do you even lift?

>>42004477
I can ohp my bodyweight of 90kg. Does this mean I should weigh 100kg when I attempt the 2plaet press ?

>>42002442

Making it, dude. You've got your priorities straight.

>>42007332
Entirely dependent on anthropometry. If your forearms are vertical at the bottom of the lift and your elbows are slightly in front of the bar, you are using proper form. This may mean the bar floats above the collar bones, if you have long forearms.

>>42007849
>t. Forearmlet

>>42008107
Wut? I have long forearms, so for me the bar floats at mid neck when my arms are aligned properly. Are you a brainlet?

>>42002135
Wow that's as much weight as Brad Dingleberry lifts.
