Matt can you take some time and really detail your training. I'd like to help you out if possible. Especially with your form. You are very strong but I dont think you are even tapping the potential that you have RIGHT NOW.

sure can

DL- barx10 135x7 225x5 315x2 405x1 x4 315x1 x5 I practiced different spacing with my feet. The best way for me to squat down was to have a wider stance. It was a little wider than shoulder width. I pull in Chuck Taylors yet still don't feel like i'm pulling back on my heels. I need to learn to look up and rip that shit back.

I don't feel like I pull fast at all. Even when I try pulling hard the damn bar just doesn't move as fast as i'd expect.

I will start video taping my lifts I just forgot my girls camera.

The BB rows are done pinky on ring and OH grip except for the last set

Well, you need to drag the bar up your body for starters. Break out the shin guards! Every tought of practicing from a box? It can really work on your starting strength. Pulling fast is overrated. Just make the lift. I think that leads to overanalyzing.

Are you conventional or sumo?

Benched in the squat rack and it was rough. The pins were set about 5inches higher than my face so it was tough getting it out of the rack and it took a ton out of me. I really thought I would be able to atleast double 545 but I wasn't close.

Good short workout today. I had to lower the Speed bench b/c it wasn't fast enough for me but once I lowered it to 185 it was like lightning. Also my db bench feels real strong the 110's went up like a speed bench.

[Matt76]

what is "Tate Press" ?

A tate press is also known as an elbow out extension. you take 2db's lay on a flat/incline bench. Put the butt ends of the db's on your chest then with your elbows flared extend your arms. They work the bottom on the triceps big time
