Oh I see, I'm driving it too much into my chest and I should drive it upwards near the traps.. yeah? (sorry for the slowness)

Driving it into the chest makes it easier, is that why I naturally transitioned into doing that? Should I keep the same weight and I'll naturally be using more of my legs?

Thx.

FINALLY, ABOUT TIME I SHOW VIDS.

Please sir Lance, could you give me tips on my bench form ( ps thats my 185x5 )?

Here's the SLOW MOTION hammer curls.. maybe I did em too slow? After that set I sped it up by 20-30%.

Instead of doing that forearm exercise, I just started doing deadlifts again today - better idea you think? Since DLs hit the entire body, and you're already using max force to pull the weight up, forearms get worked.

Also, can you recommend foam rolling videos for lower back / lumbar / spine?

How about this?

My knee doesn't hurt, it just pops every once in awhile. It didn't the last 2 days, but like maybe 1 day or 2 days of the week it does.

BTW, what is your stance on sumo squats? I feel safer doing them than regular squats, just did 1 session with wide stance..

Ok. Back is way better, doing low weight squats and doing push press and stuff now.

Last week's bench was 185x5 185x5 190x3 185x4 180x3-4ish

I'm gonna try going for 185x5 185x5 190x4 185x5 185x4 this week..

Lance,

Why is it that every now and then my knee has this weird 'click' shit? Like for example today I walked to the store and I kept contracting/moving my knee and straightening my leg out, and it would temporarily relieve and 'unclick' but the click always comes back... then tomorrow I won't even feel it.

Can I solve this by foam rolling? A specific stretch?

Also, when you said it's just a 'strength' issue, should I do some type of exercise for my back OTHER than my core lifts? Or should I just keep doing my core lifts? I think someone mentioned that they started doing good mornings to strengthen the back...



My core pops out like the left, GSP has the same thing.. its due to spine. I heard you can fix it through consistent stretching,

Is this the case or no? My posture has improved by a lot in the last year, but I don't think my spine is still completely straight.

Someone recommended this as well, spinal decompression:

Can I get your thoughts on that?

Fully loaded with questions, but appreciate if you could spare some time to shed some light for me.

Thanks.

PS - yes, bosshogs channel. What day are you available for a weekly meetup?

hows everything breh, where u been?

got a quick q..

i fucked up my back like 3 weeks ago, and i keep fucking it up doing stupid shit ( just the other day i re-fucked up my back cuz i spotted this guy benching 240ish )

what exercises can i do for my legs to keep my squat strength n shit while my lower back is fucked up?

body weight squats? running? ive had 3 workouts in the last 2 weeks and all i did was bench, curl, pullups, rack chins, lat raises, basically anything that doesnt involve legs/back.

i started running 1 mile as my warmup on treadmill, that aint good enough is it?

i suspect it'll take like a week and a half until i can maybe do light squats / non-PR push press, but i'm going to abstain from squatting/deadlift/push for 2 weeks.
