 Deads look good mate. The only thing I would say is that you shouldn't jerk the weight up like you did. It is easy to mess up your technique if you do. Pull the weight so it leaves the floor steadily.

Did you go to muscleworks thursday night in the end then? What exactly happened with the BBC?

I would work on getting your arse lower to the floor too for better drive through the quads.

I take your point with jerking teh weight, though for me the heavier the weight the  form goes a lil off.

The BBC was there on thursday, but left after a while as they forgot a wire... i wasnt planning on being on tv just was gona see my friends make a fool of themselves, i think spiros said taht they should be back some time next week.

Overall a ok workout, my squats were a bit worrying, on the third set, as i was going up i felt a bone in the groin area that was pressing against another bone, and was very painful, and happened for every rep after wards. not happy with the leg curls, by lower back was in  agony (prob from the squats) so found that a lil difficult.

My Journal >>>>>>> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/m2705866.aspx

Try and get a vid of your squat form upoaded because you shouldnt be getting lower back pain from squats unless your leaning into them and bring lower back into the lift.I reckon a little re-adjustment on your technique should alleviate this problem.

Nice deadlifting mate. Well done on 100kg. A good couple of points mentioned above about arse down more and dont jerk, i will be keeping an eye this when i deadlift on wednesday :)

I am exactly the same.Push for progression in one area and another suffers.The way I approach this is you only have so much too give in one session what ever the muscle group so a focus is made on one day for a progression on a big compound then everything else is just trimmings.
For example my focus areas are tri's, chest and legs so I look to beast these and everything else i do but without the need to go balls to the wall.Everyones different though and you may well be looking to bring up everything but its easy to try and cover too much in one day.

decided to do back and triceps today rather then just pull

Deads are going up, good to see mate.Will look forward to seeing the vid later.

heres the vid http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wS5aLBHhssI , i dont seem to be jerking it as much, but my arse it still too high i think... any tips??

Also have decided to do legs, shoulders and abs today, so will probably not do a pull/push routine, just wasnt for me.

My Journal >>>>>>> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/m2705866.aspx

That looks much better to me, and looking nice an smooth as well, without jerking it. My tip would be go heavier as that looked easy for you :)

how heavier? that was my third set, my fourth was 102.5kg and a PB.

One thing im not sure is teh weight ranges, do i start with a lower weight i.e. 60kg and add 15kg each rep  or do i start heavier... i just dont know.

Overall a mad workut, i puked halfway through doing calves, doing teh sqaut press absolutely shattered me, so everything that i had for lunch and waht i was drinking during gym , came back out, but was still able to do shoulders.

Ive added the vids for my squats, i did feel my lower left back after during squats, so if you have any idea please lemme know :)

My Journal >>>>>>> http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/m2705866.aspx

Its quite a subtle change in overal squat movement during the heavier lift on the last two reps.As your legs fail under the resistance and their drive is stalled the body naturally looks for an assistance muscle group to continue momentum and this is where a slight lean forward transfers the weight onto your lower back to extend the bar upwards.Watch carefully and you'll see what I mean.
Excellent depth on the squat though.
Still need to get lower for the intial drive on deads.

You seem to have a bit of a puke issue lol...how long did you have lunch before training and how much liquid do you take on board whilst training.Both could be factors in food existing your stomach

Agree with Stef's observations there mate, nice to see a good depth being achieved.

Had to have a little chuckle - each time your mate appeared as a spotter, he could'nt resist a little look in the mirror!

Feel the fear, and do it anyway!

Lol yea I found that ammusing...the way he was geeing himself up i thought it was him doing the lift

Your deads are looking good. Now for the squats.. You have long femurs for your frame and so your knee's are going to be quite far forward. I think they are too far forward though. Take a wider stance, feet pointing out a little more, pushing your knees out and sitting back more. To 'sit back' more as if your sitting on a chair, bending at the hips, not the knees, you will need a less upright angle in your back/upper body. Your too verticle imo, try and get closer to 45 degrees.
