See if this works. Normally my phone videos play at high speed.
350 close grip
bar drifted over my head, managed to pull it back over my chest, catch the bar while moving in the wrong direction, and muscle it up with my butt off the bench.

Like I said, fugly.
Holy shit if the rep took that long going super speed it must have been grueling lol.

Took some time off and my numbers dropped off a bit. Figured I would start 13' off right and set goals of 495 Squat and 600 DL Raw. Currently running Coan so I'll have a good idea where I need to be.

Not a huge lift, but a PR nonetheless - in my first competition in August my squat was 402, so it's coming along. I felt I probably had at least another rep or 2 left in the tank.

I haven't posted here in a while.
Here is my most recent meet:
And here are a few recent gym PR's:
I go to Basic Training next Monday so I will probably be competing at 181 at my next meet (NASA Grand Nationals, July 13). I hope to hit another 1300lb total.

Your right knee caves A LOT. I'm not sure what would cause this, other than uneven weight distribution. Make sure your stance is even, the bar is aligned on your back, and you aren't twisting at all during the lift. Knee cave usually indicates glute/hamstring weakness as well, as it's simply your body's way of letting your quads take over. Strengthen your hips. Fix those issues and you should be hitting even more PR's- the strength is there.

Yes, I noticed that as well, and thank you for pointing it out - I think it helps hammer home the point that I need to address it. I've honestly never seen my squat from that front angle before, and never realized it prior to watching the video, so I'm really not sure at what weight it starts to become so extreme. But fixing it is something I'm definitely going to try to focus on.

It's just my little ritual before I pull. It doesn't do anything for me other than give me consistency in how I set up. If you were to watch any of my training sessions, I set up for every lift the exact same.
