[THE REED]

Not literal pains... just feeling hungry..

It's an easy fix. EEat leaner so I can eat more.

Got my lifting numbers up over this summer squats 345 for reps deads now at 325 and its getting easier but bench is still lagging at 295 for a max.

I decided not to overeat the extra weight even if muscle isn't adding any power and I could feel myself carrying it around. I just walk around at 185 roughly rather than just below 200.

You squat more than you deadlift? That's odd. I'm sure you're about to surpass your squat weight, though, if you keep at it.

About a month ago I got my military press to 305lbs for 1 rep. I hurt my left shoulder a few days later on benchpress. Got back to it this week. Set some new personal bests. 320lbs for 1 rep on military press and 335lbs on benchpress for 2 reps.

I don't drop when doing deads, all slow controlled movements PLers drop because that is how they are judged just on the concentric part of the lift and have people convinced somehow that this is proper form.

Yeah, I don't think bouncing the weight is the correct way to do it. Plenty of people do it that way. It's easier to do multiple reps that way, for sure.

I just found it strange, in that, I don't see many people who squat what they deadlift.

I squat 315 for 5. Deadlift 405 for 1. If I put 405 on a squat rack I'd fold like a lawn chair.

Maybe its matter of technique I watch vids of myself to check for mechanical issues in the lifts and have good squat form but maybe for deads I need to play around with leg placement a bit or different hand placements on the bar.

I use the one overhand, one underhand grip. Some guys I see deadlift a lot more weight with the sumo lift. I don't like it, really.

I think I'm the opposite of you. I have good form on deadlift, but my squat form needs work. I don't arch or anything like that, but my knees like to come in on me, when I'm on the way up. I found that if I point my toes outward, my knees follow them a lot easier, lol.

There is this young PLer Johhnie Candito he has all of these youtube vids on technical aspects of lifts, they are very educational and emphasize small issues like breaking at the knee first, keeping elbows inward when squatting to prevent upperback rounding, weight distribution and foot placement.

Check it out if you just want some ideas to consider in regards to lifts.

Whole lotta cheat rows and cheat curls 4 me.

Ta hell with it, usually plant the other foot kneeling and just use leverage until I'm tired.
