Same here Mitch... Apparently God chose not to bless me with the ability to be able to jump haha. Back in High school I could touch the rim, just barely but I haven't tested my vertical in 20+ years, Hmmm maybe it's time, dunk at 41 has a nice ring to it:rofl:
So I decided to Deadlift last night. Back was feeling ok but work has been very busy and leaving me feeling pretty puny for work outs.

Theres a guy that plays on 1 of my league teams that is 41 and can still dunk. Nothing special but still pretty cool.
Yesterday Squats, I'm pretty freaking sore from the deads still, so just took it easy and did beltless high bar.

How's my squat form look? I've been doing some mobility work trying to go ATG. I've still got some work to do but I feel like it's come a long way in the last 3 months.

1 set of 38......4'x12'x⅝" rock on a lid before noon. Hopefully another set of 40 after lunch. This kind of workout would be nice to have a second set of hands or a drywall lift..... Sadly it isn't so today. Good shoulder burn though

Man Wes, I delivered more 4x12x5/8" drywall then I care to ever admit... That stuff is heavy and a hell of a shoulder workout:rofl:
That it is. Trying to get a head start on this rock work since my drywaller had to take the day off ... he'll be pleasantly surprised tomorrow. 87 out of 220 up....had to let him know that I still know my way around the shit lol.
Got my purple vagina grips today can't wait to break them in
Fixed it for you:hug:
Chris,
I agree with Jordan, try and get your hands closer, it will help you get your upper back tighter. I try to keep a neutral spine from the neck to my butthole, your head is up a little. Don't rush your setup, take your time getting your back tight under the bar before you unrack it. All in all though it's really pretty friggin good:thumb:
