My chest bars felt horrible today.
Video your C2B and upload them to the comments so we can take a look at them and give you feedback.

Okay, let’s try again.
It uploaded, awesome! Okay, I want you to check out this post and start incorporating the bow/hollow drill. I think this will help you stay tighter during your pull ups!

Hi Nichole, I struggled at the 90-95% for my back squats on Saturday. I got 90%, barely. Should I work off a lighter max or stay where I’m at? I was working off 240, my max before that was 225.
You are just starting this squat cycle – keep working off whatever your current 1-RM is. How did it go today?
Monday I used 225#, not my most recent but haven’t been squatting lately. I forgot I used that max when I squatted on Saturday (off of 240#) and only went to 92%. I used 240# today and only got 2 @ the 83%.
A. 1 set done followed with additional stretching.
B. Did not do, squat day was yesterday.
C. Tall Jerks 45/75/95. Jerks with pause all done at 135 for 3 reps, straight up from bottom with no additional dip to get the bar moving – hard to do.

B-Worked up to 315.
C-#95 then worked up to #205
D-2:02, 2:22, 2:44, 3:00. Very frustratig C2B. I tried butterflying (Form not very good) first round and shoulders were dead after round. Went back to kipping and after 6 each round my shoulders were toast which resulted in sets of two and one at a time. There has to be a way of increasing endurance on C2B?
Upload video so we can take a look and see how your movement looks. Practice your chest to bars a few times a week OUTSIDE of a workout. You have to work on the skill of chest to bars – make sure to upload some video so we can help you work on your skills!
