When you get a sec could take a look at my paused deads? Thanks.
Thanks, feedback is appreciated. The movement seems to be so ingrained into me now, I'll just have to keep trying to not hip rise.
Few more weeks then I will give rack pulls ago. Can't remember why you said they would be interesting to do.

Once my lower back has stopped being a bitch I'll crack on with them.
Changed things around this week so legs came round earlier.
Started off with some soft tissue work on those tight spots and opening up the shoulders/pecs. Helped a lot, and my hands on bar was much stronger today and even had my wrists straight.
Squats
BARxsomex2
70x10
90x6
100x3
120x2
150x1
165x5 - I was being too cautious I think so reps were slow and sticking point was hitting me hard.
165x5 - Sped things up and power was much better.
165x5 - Filmed the knees, they didn't look too bad considering it was the last set. Left knee is weaker for sure.
Had to play around with the catchers and decided to drop them down on the last set. Need to get used to the lower height.
DBSS (per leg)

18x10 x3
Reverse Offset Lunges (per leg)

Fine 
Thanks
All these years I've had to suppress my grunting in the commercial gyms. Now it's time for all kinds of noise gains.

I think the problem with the rack is it will **** the bar. However saying that my catchers are flat, thick and have 1" of rubber on them so....
You can see them here - http://i.imgur.com/AhMVc.jpg
Yea I'll be building one soon.

Kept the weight at 170. I'm finding it hard to not move my hips first but I was trying hard. Video of 3 170 sets below. 3rd set I was obviously fatigued. My brother was giving commands, not sure why he was saying press lol.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I see what you mean, I'll have a play around next week with it.
Squats were feeling good yesterday.

Speaking of the garage, I took a couple pics last night. I've added a shelf of legends, which I will be hanging bands from soon. Chains are still planned.
They are 2 pics...
Bro down shall be arranged. Just need to get into the swing of training and make some decent progress. I'm away for 2 weeks in June on a cruise, although I have access to a gym on board to do various bits. DBSS on a ship during rough seas, stability gains.
