235x2
265x1

295x1 @10 (ftl)

Comments: Had a real struggle locking it out for the one rep, and couldn't get it off the floor for another. I think I drained my lower back strength doing "squat-mornings".

235x1 (good morning)
225x4 @9 (counted it with 235x1)
225x5 @9.5

Comments: Actually felt my quads contributing to the lift with 225. Narrowed my grip width and tried to stay upright. Imma try to post a form check later for squats (on Powerlifting to Win Forums). 235 was too much for my legs to actually work for the full set I guess.

2) BENCH

137.5x4 @9 (my fav bar)
137.5x4 @9.25

Comments: I hate how I can only use one of 3 bars in the gym if I wanna get any work done. Anyways, my boy Caleb was awesome at giving the press command, so it went smooth.

On the fourth rep you can see that your knees move in which results in your ass shooting back and that good morning type behavior you talked about. Shove your knees out hard through the ascent and it should help you stay more vertical.

That is SOLID Deadlifting at 15yrs old. Congrats.

[PowerDaClean]

Thanks. It always was a natural lift to me, as I have relatively longer than average arms and an otherwise-hidden aggression that I can tap into before I pull.
