You aren't allowed to use my ideas for journal titles….Well, atleast you aren't playing Mafia Wars so you haven't fallen too low :-P

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

And I never will anyway thanks for "your creativeness" I will never need to look ahead of your ideas cause any name I come up with I will have you to take credit for it. :-P
So you're injury is OK, Kanishk?
Deadlifts are looking better but I still think your shoulders need to be further forward on the setup.
The Romanians look good. But I am seeing too much movement in your lower back. I want to see your lumbar look stiff as a board and only the hips bend. I don't know if you are aware of how much movement you are getting from your lumbar. It's subtle and it's not excessive or dangerous. But it's also not efficient. Takes a bunch of practice with very light weight and concentrate on differentiation between the hips and the back. You are using the hips you just need to learn to isolate them.
Work on hip mobility. I think that may be the problem.
Wish you had filmed the pullthroughs.

Good trying. I know that you did 120 lbs once before…weeks ago. And that you've hit 115 several times. But something you have to realize is that though you've hit those weights, they do not yet belong to you. As we say, you haven't owned them. Like Anuj is always saying, it doesn't mean anything until you can do it any day of the week.
You may want to look at how that affects your decisions. The fact that you've done up to 120 and 115 a few times may have made you feel that 115 was a "gimme". Now, there was nothing wrong with trying for 125! But after you failed at 125 you went right back to 115 like it was nothing and like the previous rep at that weight and all the failed attempts didn't matter. After failing at that you drop ALL the way down to 175 and rep it.
Now I don't pretend to know your reasons for that and it's not necessarily a bad decision. But I have a rule…always try to end on a high note. These other guys are probably sick of hearing me say that but they take it to heart.
Next time something like that happens with an attempted record that fails, don't go right back to the previous "high" weight. Allow some more recovery and build up time by dropping down somewhat below that. In this case you might have went to around 90 and did one rep and then 100 with one and then after a GOOD rest…try to hit that 115 again.
There are other alternatives of course, but in keeping with what you've been doing it fits. But the biggest reason is it's good for your head.
With that said, after you failed at the 125 and then failed at the 115 but tried again right away…that's a rookie mistake, lol. After the 115 fail, certainly you would have been better served to drop down and build back up, briefly, to a 115 attempt again. I'm not saying this to lecture you about failing, though! For our purposes, failing is another word for trying hard.
Given that, I think you will probably want to spend more time repping in the 105 to 115 range.

Conditioning Day
Timed Conditioning Training
Time:- 25 mins
Front Squats
75 lbs x 3 reps x 14 sets.
Dumbell Rows
50 lbs x 3 reps x 14 sets
I alternated these 2 exercises, I took minimal rests between these two exercises and tried to do as many sets as I could.
This knocked the wind out of me.
Given that, I think you will probably want to spend more time repping in the 105 to 115 range.
Sir Thank you for helping me with this I got really disappointed on failing with 125 and I wanted to end on a high with a set of atleast 2 reps with 115 but that failed as well, I didn't know what to do so I dropped the weight to get a nice set at the very least. Now, I know that I should have worked my way up thank you sir.
You're welcome. I figured you felt you had another 115 in you and I suspect you did…just looking at the video. It was just the method that stimied you. Pretty much, the trick is to take a moment, keep your cool, and think your way through it.
