Wednesday

Nothing special today, except someone who made it a point to see how far he can push himself before risking a major back injury. I've seen dumb things in the gym before but this one takes the cake. Why do some people insist on being so stupid?

When you see back curvature as bad as this, you can confirm the person has no idea what they're doing. Using Paintbrush, I've attempted to give a thorough and detailed visual description of what I saw. Behold..

This is what it should look like:

If the weight is too much and you feel like your form is breaking down, drop the weight and work on your form. Injuries are not fun and not worth the stupidity. A deadlift, as this fine young gentleman displayed above was attempting, is a pull using the back and needs a straight back with the natural curve at the lumbar region. Hips stay high, chest is raised up and the bar stays as close to your legs as possible the entire way up and down.

Squat - 300 2x5
Press - 155 3x5 Hard, but doable.

Back extensions and pull ups.
