Grind of the month!

[Wookie]

My entry for the week.

 

[Pseudonym]

Doesn't the Grind of the Month need to be, well, a grind? That looked way too easy, Wookie!

[soundsgood]

Not entering to win again but here is a grinded out top set of Seated Overhead press this week.  

 

My previous clean PB was 145kg

 

Got out the first one relatively easy so went for a second and managed to grind it out successfully 

 

Pretty happy to not only PB but double it!  Haven't done that on any exercise in quite some time ?

 

And yes those are my knee sleeves on my elbows.  They are really loose as you would imagine but help take some of the pain out of my forearm injuries

well done bro.

you had at least 1 or 2 more reps there. same deal as the videos you sent me i reckon, should try not be scared. maybe even practice failing a few squats onto safetys (srs i made my girlfriend do this to stop her being scared of it and it worked)

 

i reckon you have 100 x 8-10 in near future if you just suck it up and keep grinding through them. take longer between reps if you need to as well to clear your head

thanks man will try fail to rails next time, i am legit scared of failure even tho safeties are there, tends to make me drive up way earlier than i should. same problem on bench.  love the deadlift you can just keep going and drop it when youve had enough at any point lol

Got to be careful with maintaining posture and form. Think of failure on squats as the point when your form fails not when your body breaks in half. 

 

Or you'll have to have injury recovery time and change coaches ha ha ha ha

Hope you don't mind the observation mate but you don't look too tall, try rest the bar slightly higher up on your traps it will prevent you from leaning forward as much and put more emphasis on pushing through your legs and put your back at less risk, will also stop your knees from hanging over your toes as much. Other than that awesome effort bud

thanks mate, i'll try it to see what effect it has but low bar was recommended for me in person by @Wookie and since then my lifts have really gone up a lot! i think that video is a overall bad example of form because it was after i maxed out and roughly 1.5 hrs in to a session where i was only squatting, was way past fatigued by that point, dont normally put my back that far forward but thanks a lot for your advice and welcome to the forum.

Ahh OK well if your lifts are going up mate keep at it and yeah I did think it may just be because you're exhausted haha thanks mate!
