Damn you got a lot of balls going heavy on a decline with no spotter lol

breh, if I don't make it, it wasn't meant to be, and I wasn't meant to live. #yolo

Started my back day with 24500+lbs of volume in chins.
Thought I was gonna die when I tried to recover for the next exercise.



Why teh fak did you go for a max in decline?

cuz ima baller, whats wrong with that?!

H3h3



You will get there m8!

9 Days!!

If it looks like shit that's probably what it is for your body as well

225x5 front squat, felt real good, no knee pain at all which has been rare lately

and here's me failing a 182(lbs) snatch, hit 171x1 fairly easy before this

just from looking at it myself, it seems that I jumped back too far and possibly position my feet too wide/not mobile enough to easily get deep on the catch

should've easily been able to get it just from how high i pulled it but alas i continue to struggle to get positioned properly under the bar

You lose basically all the tension in your back the second you initiate the pull. Don't be so stressed, acceleration should come after you pass the knees.
Bar is to far away from legs so you kinda end up smashing it into your hip which drives the bar out from you.
You also need to keep the elbows up to make sure the bar will go straight.
You can see quite clearly that when you are in the catchposition you have no balance due to weight making you shift forward.
