Why would I need to drop the weight & concentrate on form. I don't have a video of the first two reps but they went up without the hitching seen in the 2nd rep of the vid. That hitching is no more dangerous than doing it with perfect form, it releases pressure on the spine so I can straighten it.
I have tried proper bodybuilding style, and on a few exercises I will do bodybuilding style. I changed to a more compound, freeweight, power type program as isolation exercises for me don't hit the spot. I can see progress with the way I'm training.
I'm not saying do what I do, I'm just saying I've already tried what u want me to do and I don't make gains while doing it.
Don't take it personally, I do it the way I do because I think it works rather than not knowing any different.
I do a powerclean and carry the momentum into a standing shoulder press. I do it because it has an explosive element off the floor which helps with the deadlift, and uses shoulder rotation, reverse conventional bicep contractions, and obviously front delts/upper chest. Those two in the background tried to get me to do a double dip as if I was trying something like an olympic lift. I'm not. I'm doing an exercise which is using all the muscles I want to use and its not about how much more weight i could use with a different technique. So u see, I like to keep my own council on how and what exercises I do.
If someone gave me a completely different exercise regime I would try it, but don't pick holes in a routine that I feel is working and then not listen to my reasons for doing it a certain way. I wouldn't be on 200kg if I didn't push the limits but I don't feel I take unnecessary risks.
Please no more criticism of my lifts I have heard your opinion, if u carry on I'll assume that its just a wind up.

Well done though keep it up. I take it that was 200kg?
For a tall guy you're starting to pack on some decent muscle it's impressive.
