Yes, I am. It's a little cramped, but there's plenty of bars and plates, two squat racks (with home made mono-lifts), and all kinds of accessories I don't even use. Plus, it's cheap.

Wow! Awesome analysis. Thank you very much for taking the time to do that.

Yes, I see where things have gone awry. I'll concentrate on what you've told me, as well as get some coaching.

It's...

Thanks, Tom.

I squatted again today, using TUBOW for all but the last set (3x5). The last set gets loose. I'll stick with TUBOW and concentrate on baking the correct form in for the next few...

Here are my crappy cleans in this previous thread.

From today, here's my last set of five:

I think my very last rep is the best. My only cue today was "Jump!",...

Was out of town last Thurs and Friday...

M 5/20

BP 3x5x192.5 Thought it was 195, but didn't hve the 1.25 plates on there to bring the bar up to a true 45lbs. Will go to 197.5 next week...

You may get some of us from Washington State, too.

Here's an update to this thread.

After I posted some other vids in the downstairs forum, Spar got me back to using TUBOW to correct my awful lean and to help with my sliding knees problem. The...

Here's the most recent. I did 5 sets today, since I'll be missing two days of workouts this week (travel). Here's set #4, with TUBOW:

And set #5, no TUBOW. The...

Tues 5/14

Squat 5x5x205 4xTUBOW, 1 without. Much much better--vids posted to the two recent techique threads.

RDLs 5,5,8 X 195 Thought I'd try these since I will miss Th and Fri this week,...

TUBOW is working for me, that's my point. It is not my only tool.

With the way the OP was squatting in his first videos, it seems he could reach depth at the last second only by letting his knees...

Th 5/9

Bench 5,5,6 X 195 creeping up to my usual stall point, but I will miss next week's bench because I'll be out of town
Chin 5,5,5,2 X BW
Dumbell press, seated 10,8,4 with 25s. This...

In my case, it helped me time my lean, and to lean properly, that is: the lean beomes a natural consequence of sitting back. Once my knee touches the block, I know to send my ass back and down, and...

This sounds all-too familiar. I have similar problem, with a related knees-sliding-forward problem. In this thread downstairs, Spar has been helping me out with both the lean and knees problem. ...

Okay, thanks, Tom.

And thanks again, as always, to the coaches who moderate this particular forum and take the time to help us all out!

I can DL 3x5x300, and have done 310 for a double, but I can't seem to get past a 115lb clean with good form (I'm 48, 195 lbs, on SS and other LP for a year, with hiatuses [hiatii?] and lots of form...

Mon 5/6
press 3x5x115 last rep was a grind
chins 3x5 x bw surprised at how well they went, will try to increase volume
push ups 10,10,12, last two sets with feet on 8-1/2' box. really easy. ...

Wed 5/1

Squat 5x5x185 TUBOW Spar says I'm getting better

Press 3,2,1 X 117.5 crappy. Couldn't shrug up rep #2 on set 3, so didn't count it. Long time since last press day.

PC crappy. ...

Spar, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I'll check back in next week.

Thank you.

Good point--I was doing it wrong. For a couple of weeks at least.
