Max Misch - 5/3/1 Training - 07.17.09

This video includes the training sessions that occurred on the 13th, 15th, and 17th of July 2009. I didn't put in the military press (135x8) clip from the 15th because there was no PR and my friend was accidentally blocking the camcorder. Accessory exercises are also not in the video.

I hate to sound like one of those YouTube form police douchbags but man! You are obviously a very strong and focus guy and full credit to you for that but your form sucks (mainly in the squat - and squatting in front of a mirror is a bad idea too) I just dont want you to get hurt bro!

I hate when the ipod get pulled out too especially when you are right into the music and the lift!

You hate to sound like the form police, but that's what you sound like.

1) Why state that my squat form sucks without explaining what's wrong with it, besides the mirror?

2) Why is doing squats in front of a mirror so terrible?

[maxbm]

Thanks. Yeah, that was a brutal set!

I'm still trying to bring my bench out of Shitsville though. LOL

On the deadlifts you start the movement from a position rounding the lumbar and thoracic spine, which even with a belt is a great way for injury. Since you move quite explosively, I doubt that is a matter of strength other than technique.

Go down to 320 in weight and stretch your hamstrings. And do reps, reps and more reps that keep lumbar spine in neutral position. Butt out, Chest up. Stance width is perfectly alright by the way.

Ah yeah : Your Bench press is solid.

Hi, others are form police, I will try helping then.

Your wrists are bent in a way they are taking tons of beating. Keep the elbows more forwardso your wrists are in alignment with the elbows.

You lack proper depth in the squat and correct his by turning the upper body to floor ankle down.

Go way way down with the weight, do some hamstring stretches, get yourself in position and do your best effort to stay as upright as a low bar squat allows, Your hip MUST be lower than your knee joint.

why are your legs so close together on your dead lifts? and why are you slamming the weight down so hard...it looks like your beatin yourself up...i cant hate though man thats alot of weight...good job!!!
