    I've been doing SS seriously for the past couple months, and I've decided to make a log to keep my numbers organized, and hopefully to post some form videos in the near future.

    A little aboot myself, I'm 20 years old, 6' even, and about 195 lbs. at the moment. Kinda fat and ready to get strong. I'm going to run SS until I've completely exhausted the ability to progress every workout, or feel happy with the numbers on my lifts.

    My diet will consist of a metric fuckton of animal flesh (thank god for Costco), a half gallon of milk a day, and whatever the hell else I can get my hands on.

    So, onto today's workout

    Just got back from vacation so I repeated what I did the workout before I left a week ago. Felt pretty strong, and hopin' to feel just as good on Tuesday.

    Got back from the gym a while ago, and was able to record my squats today so any advice would be appreciated.

    Squat-
    2x5x45
    1x5x95
    1x5x115
    1x3x145
    1x2x165

    1x5x65
    1x3x80
    1x2x90
    3x5x100

    Rows-
    First time doing rows so I did the SS protocol where I just keep increasing weight on the bar until my form faltered, and got
    3x5x125

    Reason for not doing power cleans is when I got to 135 lbs my left arm just started getting all fucked up. I would have extreme pain radiating from my inner elbow, and it got to a point where I could barely get a grip on things.

    Here's my squat form vids. I'm thinking I might be a smidge too high, and it seems my chest might be collapsing a bit?
