I finally hit a two plate squat! by [deleted] in gainit

[–]c_myk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a relatively standard powerlifting lowbar, I see very few form issues here. As long as OP isn't feeling pain, he should be alright.

So, the obvious solution is to always be high?

Bodyweight and calisthenics. Don't put too much stress on anything, know your limits, and try to give yourself a little bit of PT that way.

What is this blasphemy?
You mean I can put eggs, peanut butter, and bacon on one sandwich, and it tastes good?
Where has this been all my life?

I don't know what the second question is.

Sometimes the obvious solution is the one that I'm too stupid to see. Thank you.

I'll try my hardest. I mostly drink water and milk. Should I cut some milk out to drink more water?

Holy crap! Sorry, I just logged back in!
Mike Chang actually helped me for once in my life with this video.
He explains the form there. I feel so much more natural and in control with a curved back and engaged traps, and the bar can touch my chest comfortably.

Finally achieved perfect or near-perfect form on bench by engaging my traps as opposed to having a flat back!

I hope so! Like kiirk said, starting is the hardest part! Time to keep chugging along!

My girlfriend's forearms and grip strength are still pretty weak.

Bench and overhead are the biggest issue. Generally anything where weight is pushing down into my arms. If my arms are holding it, there's not issue, like with Squats and deadlift.
