jonathan Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Good lifting Benny! I can see some progress on the pictures - looking a bit thicker Good squatting too. I would recommend squatting first, before any other lift. It's funny, but it does not really affect subsequent exercises, but you will squat weaker if you do other lifts first. I wouldn't be suprised if you did 10x60kg on the next session Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Good lifting Benny! Can I just ask how deep you are going with your squatting? I ask only because it might be worth getting them to parralel now (if you are not already there) at this early stage, rather having to correct it later. Keep up the good work.

benny boy Posted December 9, 2006 Author Share Posted December 9, 2006 yeah I don't think I am going deep enough. I was trying to work on this last week and I am getting closer to parrallel every time. Oh and football for 1 hr 20 again.Gym tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi Benny, is it possible for you to video your squatting so that we can see the form. It helped me a huge amount - I think it is honestly harder for tall guys to squat 'well' than it is shorter people. The leverages are all wrong.

It helped me a huge amount - I think it is honestly harder for tall guys to squat 'well' than it is shorter people. The leverages are all wrong. While I agree with this (and think that shorter people have advantages on other exercises too), what height do you consider short? I'm just curious.
