    Yea I've thought about that. My concern is that if they think I'm posting videos on a public forum, it sounds worse, compared to me using them for my own exclusive personal use (although I understand SSOC is not a public forum).

    In the past, I've taken care to not film others, and to even let others know when they're potentially going to be in frame, and asked them for consent. And when they're not aware, I've cropped videos or blurred out faces.

    I have to be careful about what I say to management. If I say I'm using it for my own personal use, and then they discover I've been posting it online, that's not cool. Plus, I'd rather be honest about it. I'm on good terms with many of the staff members, so maybe I can speak to one of them and get their advice about who to speak to.

    Completed all 3 sets at 192.4 with relative ease. Made a couple form adjustments which may have helped. I might be able to break 200 before I need to change things up, but not sure.

    I've got to 102.5kg with 2.5kg jumps, but I am heavier than you. You're on 1kg jumps, right?

    heh, I don't see myself LP-ing to 102.5kg (unless I potentially ate a shitload), and yes, just started the 1kg jumps.

    They prolonged my press' LP life from 52 to 64kg. Put in the work, mind your form and you'll profit.

I pleaded my case, said it was really important as I wanted to see if I was flexing my back on the deadlift. He was unrelenting, but agreed that was a bit of an unfortunate rule. I don't imagine requesting permission in advance would work. The times there are filming, there are multiple notices warning members saying which areas are being filmed and for how long, so I don't think they'd allow it for something as insignificant as a form check for a single member. Still, can't hurt to ask.
    Thanks Obama.
