I second this x100.
if you can learn to adjust or survive their crazy attitudes, latinas are perfect and loyal as hell. My wife was fresh over the fence Colombian when I met her, lol.

I have failed as of late to keep up on my log. I have still been training and I even have a little meet scheduled at the community center. I'll start from today, and keep up with it going forward.

I was surprised by how easy 320 was for me. I drop very low when I squat and with a narrow stance. I'm wondering what my attempts should be in competition.

How long until the meet? Is it sanctioned?
Nice
I'm still trying to master low bar.
I think my hips just don't have the flexibility to deal with it.
I SHOULD be squatting more on low bar, but High Bar keeps calling my name.
Tips for making the switch?
My glutes are currently my weakest point in my.lifts and I figure low bar will help bring then to speed.

Gradually move the bar lower down your back and spread your feet out a bit every couple weeks until you get there. An inch or so at a time
Nope just a little thing the Center put together. Should be fun though and a good way to dip my feet in. The event filled up too, so there should actually be quite a few people there
Hammer those glutes man! Back extensions and GHR until you’re sick of them.
@Cityofgrit good to see you back bro.
Thanks bro!!! Good to be back!
I'm having elbow and forearm pain when benching. What can I do for it?
Its actually pain on the decent on bench. It hurts from my shoulder underneath my bicep to my inner elbow

Wheres your grip? Are you using wrist wraps?
No wrist wraps, grip is inside my shoulders a little. But the pain is pretty bad.. like tendonitis
Probably from squatting. It’s the number 1 reason I only squat once / twice a month now... It sucks, but I like not being in pain.
I didn't think about that
Yeah man, I didn’t either until PA mentioned it... I used to get terrible tendonitis and I thought it was from pressing too much.. but now I bench twice a week and do OHP and no pain. But, without fail, every time I squat—the day after, I get pin exactly as you described.

Yep happens to me also. @Cityofgrit get some wrist wraps from elite FTS or Pioneer. Wear them especially on low bar squats. Work on squat grip positions, this helped me out quite a bit
Take a week off bench and try cutting back on low bar squat frequency. Do some high bar and/or front squat for some of your squatting.
Do you wear sleeves while benching?
I find my elbow are forearm are so bad that I csnt heavy bench without sleeves at all.
