SQ: 225, 225x5x1 OP: 158x5x3 225 didn't feel great, could feel the soreness/ache, so called it at one set. Have done 3 press workouts for five...

Pin press: 179x5 DL: 225x1 Had a real pop starting to pull a 325 warmup for rack pull on Friday. Wasn't wearing a belt, so that wasn't the...

Great move, watching the video right before the press--nice PR!

SQ: 300x5, 230x5x2 OP: 156x5x3 Still using the floss bands on the knees--I think it's helping. Trying to work out hamstring tension and depth on...

Not sure what the basis could be for a statement about severe disease, although I have certainly heard such statements. Perhaps the basis is the...

If you weigh 82kg and deadlift 135kg, it probably makes sense to continue a novice linear progression, rather than switch to Texas Method for...

Congratulations--fun to read your post!

Steve, thanks for catching that--otherwise, I would not have listened to the sound--good advice from Coach Rippetoe, but quite unexpected in this...

Good news--I measured and the block pull setup is actually a little lower than I was rack pulling, so that will work fine!

That made me laugh!

BP: 225x5x3 PR Block pull: 420x5 Big moment on the bench--went fine. The block pull was maybe a half inch higher than the rack pull (will...

OP: 163x1x5 PR Barely managed two singles at 162 in February.

My policy is to attempt not to look at what people are doing, especially if they are dropping weights and making unnecessary noise. I also would...

Saturday, July 23, 2022 SQ: 225x5x3 (1 set only) OP: 153x5x3 PR Press PR was much better than 152 a year ago--goodish "Explode/Break" (per...

Friday, July 22, 2022 BP: 224x5x3 RP: 415x5 Bench O.K., 2-plate next week. First rack pull rep was slow, I was afraid it wasn't going to go. ...

OP: 161x1x5 Hopefully the flossing is going to work; knee did not feel very pleasant. Some good "Break the Glass" today--but it definitely is...

Everyone near a coach should do that--it's a big advantage!

SQ: 290x5x3 (2 sets only) OP: 152x5x3 Knee pain near the head of the medialis on the third rep of the second set, so I finished the set and...

Pin press: 173x5 Halting DL: 325x5 I even got some "Break the Glass" on the pin press! They weren't bad, but it's hard to stay positioned under...

Nice press PR!

Dear Satch12879, Coach Rippetoe was very complimentary of your posting on the forums in Starting Strength #168 (see 36:40, week before last): ...

SQ: 225x5x3 OP: 151x5x3 No issue from yesterday's rack pull--looking forward to taking the weekend off. Coach Khamiss says people get lazy...

BP: 223x5x3 RP: 410x5 Left elbow a little tender from all the pressing, but bench went O.K. Rack pull also fine.

Tough to tell from the video, but you don't look tight enough at the start of each rep. Don't loosen up at the bottom of the rep. Keep your chest...

As I understand Coach Rippetoe's situation, his past injuries are the biggest limitation, not his age. Based on your impressive lifts, it seems...

OP: 159x1,1,1,1,x,1 Did not get the cue ("break the glass") on reps 1 and 2. Got it on rep 3, and it went up better, but regressed on rep 4. On...

OP: 150x5x3 SQ: 285x5x3 (pause) I'm usually not very good at implementing coaching cues, but I've gotta say that "Break the Glass" really seemed...

Pin press: 171x5 Halting deadlift: 320x5 Haltings good for a light pull. Need to focus on using lats to keep the bar back, which I'm not sure...

145 for four press triples--absolutely you should track it, well done!
